找不到Django related_name

问题描述

我有这个模型:

class Person(models.Model):
    something ...
    employers = models.ManyToManyField('self', blank=True, related_name='employees')

当我执行person.employees.all()时，出现此错误:'Person' object has no attribute 'employees'.仅当存在实际链接时才创建相关名称.如果是，该如何检查?

When I do person.employees.all() I get this error: 'Person' object has no attribute 'employees'. Is the related name only created when there is an actual link in place. If yes, how can I check this?

我知道hasattr()函数.我仍然想知道为什么在没有相关对象的情况下该属性为什么不返回空列表.

I'm aware of the hasattr() function. I'm still wondering why the attribute doesn't return an empty list when there's no related objects.

推荐答案

要在多对多递归中使用related_name，您需要设置symmetrical=False.没有它，Django将不会在类中添加employees属性.从文档中:

To use related_name with recursive many-to-many you need set symmetrical=False. Without it Django will not add employees attribute to the class. From the docs:

因此您可以在字段中添加symmetrical=False

So you can add symmetrical=False to the field:

employers = models.ManyToManyField('self', blank=True, related_name='employees', symmetrical=False)

person.employees.all() # will work now

或仅使用employers属性:

person.employers.all()
