How to copy a object data to another object in Django? - django

Question

I am trying to create an E-Commerce Website and I am at the Final Step i.e. Placing the Order. So, I am trying to add all the Cart Items into my Shipment model. But I am getting this error.
'QuerySet' object has no attribute 'product'
Here are my models
class Product(models.Model):
productId = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
productName = models.CharField(max_length=200)
productDescription = models.CharField(max_length=500)
productRealPrice = models.IntegerField()
productDiscountedPrice = models.IntegerField()
productImage = models.ImageField()
productInformation = RichTextField()
productTotalQty = models.IntegerField()
alias = models.CharField(max_length=200)
url = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, null=True)
class Customer(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
name = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=True)
email = models.EmailField(max_length=100)
profileImage = models.ImageField(blank=True, null=True, default='profile.png')
phoneNumber = models.CharField(max_length=10, blank=True, null=True)
address = models.CharField(max_length=500, blank=True, null=True)
class Order(models.Model):
customer = models.ForeignKey(Customer, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, blank=True, null=True)
dateOrdered = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
orderCompleted = models.BooleanField(default=False)
transactionId = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
class Cart(models.Model):
product = models.ForeignKey(Product, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, blank=True, null=True)
order = models.ForeignKey(Order, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, blank=True, null=True)
quantity = models.IntegerField(default=0, blank=True, null=True)
dateAdded = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
class Shipment(models.Model):
customer = models.ForeignKey(Customer, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, blank=True, null=True)
orderId = models.CharField(max_length=100)
products = models.ManyToManyField(Product)
orderDate = models.CharField(max_length=100)
address = models.CharField(max_length=200)
phoneNumber = models.CharField(max_length=13)
I just removed additional functions i.e. __str__ and others.
Here is the views.py
def orderSuccessful(request):
number = Customer.objects.filter(user=request.user).values('phoneNumber')
fullAddress = Customer.objects.filter(user=request.user).values('address')
timeIn = time.time() * 1000 # convert current time in milliSecond
if request.method == 'POST':
order = Shipment.objects.create(customer=request.user.customer, orderId=timeIn,
orderDate=datetime.datetime.now(), address=fullAddress,
phoneNumber=number)
user = Customer.objects.get(user=request.user)
preOrder = Order.objects.filter(customer=user)
orders = Order.objects.get(customer=request.user.customer, orderCompleted=False)
items = orders.cart_set.all() # Here is all the items of cart
for product in items:
product = Product.objects.filter(productId=items.product.productId) # error is on this line
order.products.add(product)
Cart.objects.filter(order=preOrder).delete()
preOrder.delete()
order.save()
else:
return HttpResponse("Problem in Placing the Order")
context = {
'shipment': Shipment.objects.get(customer=request.user.customer)
}
return render(request, "Amazon/order_success.html", context)
How to resolve this error and all the cart items to field products in Shipment model?

Answer 1

Your model is not really consistent at all. Your Cart object is an m:n (or m2m - ManyToMany) relationship between Product and Order. Usually, you would have a 1:n between Cart and Product (a cart contains one or more products). One Cart might be one Order (unless you would allow more than one carts per order). And a shipment is usually a 1:1 for an order. I do not see any of this relationships in your model.
Draw your model down and illustrate the relations between them first - asking yourself, if it should be a 1:1, 1:n or m:n? The latter can be realized with a "through" model which is necessary if you need attributes like quantities.
In this excample, we have one or more customers placing an order filling a cart with several products in different quantities. The order will also need a shipment fee.
By the way: bear in mind that "filter()" returns a list. If you are filtering on user, which is a one to one to a unique User instance, you would better use "get()" as it returns a single instance.
Putting in into a try - except or using get_object_or_404() makes it more stable.
product = Product.objects.filter(productId=items.product.productId)
should be something like:
product = product.product
not to say, it becomes obsolete.

Answer 2

It looks like you make a cart for a product by multiple instances of Cart, the problem is you try to access the wrong variable, also you don't need to filter again when you already have the instance, make the following changes:
carts = orders.cart_set.all() # Renamed items to carts for clarity
for cart in carts:
product = cart.product
order.products.add(product) # The name order is very misleading makes one think it is an instance of Order, actually it is an instance of Shipment
As mentioned above in my comment your variable names are somewhat misleading, please give names that make sense to any variable.
