I have three models. How to do a search method to browse my three models together. For example if i search for the word "bluebird" in the search bar, i want it to browse through the three models to return the result to me. I saw on a forum the chain method that can be imported from itertools but i don't know how to use it !
models.py
class Category(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=250)
description = models.TextField(blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.name
class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=250)
photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='pics/authors/', default='pics/default-author.jpg')
biography = models.TextField(blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.name
class Book(models.Model):
author = models.ManyToManyField(Author)
editor = models.CharField(max_length=250, blank=True)
title = models.CharField(max_length=250)
description = models.TextField(blank=True)
date_added = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
updated = models.DateField(auto_now=True)
cover = models.ImageField(upload_to='pics/covers/', default='pics/default-cover.jpg')
pdf_file = models.FileField(upload_to='pdfs/books/', default='pdfs/default-pdf.pdf')
categories = models.ForeignKey(Category, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
def __str__(self):
return self.title
