How to use Q Objects Method In Django

In this example, we use Q objects to create OR conditions for authors from the USA and the UK. We also filter books published after the year 2000. Then, we combine the QuerySets using the chain function.

Python3




from .models import Author, Book
from django.db.models import F
 
authors = Author.objects.annotate(book_count=F('book__count'))
books = Book.objects.annotate(author_name=F('author__name'))
 
combined_queryset = list(chain(authors, books))
