If you wan’t to filter your data by one of fields in your array of dicts, you can try this query:
Test.objects.filter(actions__contains=[{'fixed_key_1': 'foo2'}])
It will list all Test
objects that have at least one object in actions
field that contains key fixed_key_1
of value foo2
.
Also it should work for nested lookup, even if you don’t know actual indexes:
Test(actions=[
{'fixed_key_1': 'foo4', 'fixed_key_3': [
{'key1': 'foo2'},
]}
}).save()
Test.objects.filter(actions__contains=[{'fixed_key_3': [{'key1': 'foo2'}]}])
In simple words, contains will ignore everything else.
Unfortunately, if nested element is an object, you must know key name. Lookup by value won’t work in that case.
