Field Lookups

A field lookup is essentially a way to specify how Django should filter query results based on a model field's value.

Basic Structure

A field lookup takes the form field__lookuptype=value. Here, field is the name of the model field, lookuptype is the type of comparison, and value is the value to compare against.

Common Field Lookups

exact - the default lookup type; it performs case-sensitive comparisons.
(SELECT * FROM Book WHERE genre = 'philosophy';)

iexact - case-insensitive match.
(SELECT * FROM Author WHERE LOWER(pen_name) = LOWER('george orwell');)

contains - case-sensitive containment test.
(SELECT * FROM Book WHERE title LIKE '%House%';)

icontains - case-insensitive containment test.
(SELECT * FROM Book WHERE LOWER(title) LIKE LOWER('%house%');)

in - in a given iterable; often used for filtering by a list of values.
(SELECT * FROM Author WHERE id IN (1, 4, 7);)

gt, gte, lt, lte - greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, and less than or equal to.
(SELECT * FROM Author WHERE id < 10;)

startswith, istartswith - string starts with a value (case-sensitive and insensitive versions).
(SELECT * FROM Author WHERE first_name LIKE 'J%';)

endswith, iendswith - string ends with a value (case-sensitive and insensitive versions).
(SELECT * FROM Author WHERE last_name LIKE '%e';)

range - within a certain range (inclusive).
(SELECT * FROM Book WHERE id BETWEEN 1 AND 5;)

date, year, month, day - specific date components.
(SELECT * FROM Book WHERE EXTRACT(YEAR FROM pub_date) = 2023;)
