How to get table data based on id which obtains from another table data? Django

Question

Views

company = Company.objects.get(id = company_id)  # getting input from django urls (<int:company_id>)
vehicles = CompanyContainVehicles.objects.filter(company_id=company.id)  # Give all rows having same id (company.id)
all_vehicles = Vehicles.objects.filter(id=vehicles.vehicle_id)  # Not Working

How do I get data from tables whose multiple id's obtained by another table?

Models

class Company(models.Model):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    slug = models.SlugField(blank=True, null=True, unique=True)
    description = models.TextField()

class Vehicles(models.Model):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
    vehicle_number = models.IntegerField()
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    slug = models.SlugField(blank=True, null=True, unique=True)


class CompanyContainVehicles(models.Model):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
    company_id = models.ForeignKey(Company, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    vehicle_id = models.ForeignKey(Vehicles, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, blank=True)

Above are my table details and I need to get all vehicles from table Vehicles which is obtained from CompanyContainVehicle table (that define which company seel out which vehicle) based on company_id that obtain from table Company which contains details of companies.

Do you want all the data including it's related child table data? — bairavand, Mar 18 '22 at 11:37

You can filter with:

Vehicles.objects.filter(companycontainvehicles__company_id=company_id)

Here your companycontainvehicles basically acts as a ManyToManyField. You can span a many-to-many relation between Vehicle and Company with:

class Company(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    slug = models.SlugField(blank=True, null=True, unique=True)
    description = models.TextField()

class Vehicle(models.Model):
    vehicle_number = models.IntegerField()
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    slug = models.SlugField(blank=True, null=True, unique=True)
    companies = models.ManyToManyField(
        Company,
        through='CompanyVehicle',
        related_name='companies'
    )

class CompanyVehicle(models.Model):
    company = models.ForeignKey(Company, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    vehicle = models.ForeignKey(Vehicle, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

Then you can filter with:

Vehicle.objects.filter(companies=company_id)

Note: normally a Django model is given a singular name, so Vehicle instead of ~~Vehicles~~.

Note: Normally one does not add a suffix _id to a ForeignKey field, since Django will automatically add a "twin" field with an _id suffix. Therefore it should be company, instead of ~~company_id~~.
