[Fixed]-Django conditional annotation

10👍

✅

This should be the right way.

swallow.objects.filter(
    coconuts_carried__husk__color="green"
).annotate(
    num_coconuts=Count('coconuts_carried')
).order_by('num_coconuts')

Note that when you filter for a related field, in raw SQL it translates as a LEFT JOIN plus a WHERE. In the end the annotation will act on the result set, which contains only the related rows which are selected from the first filter.

Is there a way to access the context from everywhere in Django?

For Django >= 1.8:

from django.db.models import Sum, Case, When, IntegerField

swallow.objects.annotate(
    num_coconuts=Sum(Case(
        When(coconuts_carried__husk__color="green", then=1),
        output_field=IntegerField(),
    ))
).order_by('num_coconuts')
