Add get_object_cached_field() for fetching cached object field values.
Review Request #14326 — Created Feb. 4, 2025 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
When working with a queryset involving
select_related()
or
prefetch_related()
, it's often useful to be able to check for and
access data returned from the corresponding caches, without the risk of
triggering an unwanted lookup. We use this to conditionally access state
or perform a new query, depending on its presence.To simplify this pattern, this change introduces
get_object_cached_field()
, which returns cached state for a field or
relation on an object.It first looks up in the field cache (which is populated by
select_related()
and may also be populated by a field's implementation
manually).If not found there, it then checks the
prefetch_related()
cache.If still not found, it returns
UNSET
.
Unit tests pass.
Made use of this in in-progress work.
