Filter objects with the field that matches a keyword

To display only basic-level courses, edit the CourseList view by adding the yellow part of the code below. Also, comment out the previous one.

employee_learning/views.py

class CourseList(ListView): # model = LearningCourse # queryset = LearningCourse.objects.order_by('-title') queryset = LearningCourse.objects.filter(level='B') :

You can see that only basic courses are shown.

Customize filtering

The filter method also has the functionality to customize filtering approaches.

Here are some examples:

filter(field__contains='keyword'): Filter objects that contain 'keyword'
filter(field__startwith='keyword'): Filter objects that start with 'keyword'
filter(field__endwith='keyword'): Filter objects that end with 'keyword'
filter(field__gt='number or string'): Filter objects that are greater than 'number or string'
filter(field__gte='number or string'): Filter objects that are greater than or equal to 'number or string'
filter(field__lt='number or string'): Filter objects that are lower than 'number or string'
filter(field__lte='number or string'): Filter objects that are lower than or equal to 'number or string'

For example, if you want to get the courses whose names include 'Docker', use filter(title__contains='Docker'). To implement this, edit the CourseList view by replacing the yellow part of the code below.

employee_learning/views.py

class CourseList(ListView): # model = LearningCourse # queryset = LearningCourse.objects.order_by('-title') queryset = LearningCourse.objects.filter(title__contains='Docker') :

You can see that only Docker courses are shown.
