Good day! I have a table model.
I plan to take one row from it - one set of elements.
To place it in an object - a dictionary. How can I place the last or first or a specific one row from a model / queryset into a dictionary - not in a list of dictionary sets, but in one dictionary.
One row of a model / queryset into one dictionary?
How can I convert the last / any row of a model / queryset into one dictionary?
You can do it a couple different ways - but there are different ways because the proper solution depends in part on what you’re going to do with this dict after you’ve retrieved it. (There are issues around different field data types, representation, and conversion from the database to the Python objects that make this a not-so-simple question to answer.)
The most direct and succinct answer to your question is to use the values clause on your queryset before selecting the particular row you are looking for. (The row being retrieved by possibly a get, first, last, earliest, latest, or any manager method that returns a single instance, or a sliced filter or other function returning a queryset.)
But identifying whether or not this addresses your underlying requirement - or even answering the question of “is this really necessary” - can’t be determined in the absence of more details about the real objective.
When working with Django, you want to look at your code holistically, not piece by piece. Each module is designed to work with the other modules within Django.
