I have the following model,
a User



class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin, Base):
email = models.EmailField(db_index=True, unique=True, max_length=255)
mobile = PhoneNumberField(null=True)
username = models.CharField(db_index=True, null=False, unique=True, max_length=255)


A base class



class Room(Base):
name = models.CharField(db_index=True, unique=True, max_length=255)
status = models.CharField(default=RoomStatus.ACTIVE, max_length=256, null=True)
members = models.ManyToManyField(User)
last_activity = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)


And two children



class LeagueRoom(Room):
league = models.ForeignKey(League, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True)
location = models.ForeignKey(Location, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True)

class ClubRoom(Room):
club = models.ForeignKey(Club, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True)
location = models.ForeignKey(Location, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True)


I want to access the leagueroom_set for the user. I'm not sure how to do this. The user currently has a property room_set, but I wish to access the specific room_set. Can someone help me with this?

  • You are using multi-table inheritance here. Did you mean for Room to be a table in the database, or did you only want it to be a base class to define the shared fields for the league and club models?

  • @MartijnPieters I don't have any real use of the Room, but I can't make it abstract because I need the room id to globally sort all forms of room.

You could start from the other end:



league_rooms = LeagueRoom.objects.filter(members=my_user)

    1. I think you want Room to be an abstract base class. Then what you are trying to do will work. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/db/models/#model-inheritance



      class Room(models.Model):
      name = models.CharField(db_index=True, unique=True, max_length=255)
      # other fields


      class Meta:
      abstract = True



    2. If Room can't be an abstract class, then you'll have to move your members field from Room into each of the subclasses to use the built-in relationships.



      class LeagueRoom(Room):
      league = models.ForeignKey(League, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True)
      location = models.ForeignKey(Location, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True)
      members = models.ManyToManyField(User)

      # same with ClubRoom



    3. Third option I can think of is to set a type attribute on each of your subclasses so that you can filter room_set to the type of room you want.



      class LeagueRoom(Room):

      type = models.CharField(max_length=10, default='league')



      Then somewhere else:



      room_set.filter(type='league')
