Django ManyToManyFields and Through-Models for many-to-many relationships

In this video, we'll look at many-to-many relations in Django. We'll see how to add a ManyToManyField on a Django model, and how to use that field to query for related objects with the ManyRelatedManger and functions such as add(), remove(), all(), set() and clear().
We'll also look at junction tables in the database, created for many-to-many relationships, and will see how Django creates these implicitly, and how we can explicitly add extra data to these tables via through models.

Thank you. This was the best overview of the manytomany relation options in Django I have seen so far. Perhaps in a next version you can elaborate on the 'related_name' option and how to use that?

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks a lot! I'll try and elaborate on related name in future, too.

[@seydinaoumarsamabaly1806]

Just aww, I really can say that I've well understood the M2M concept with this one 🙌🏾. Thank you mate !

Bruh you saved me so much time in my buiding project. Keep the good work! Awesome

[@bugbytes3923]

Glad to hear it dude! Good luck with your project and thanks!

[@khunjohn1054]

As usual great content. One thing is in the admin panel if you are using inlines, that the model require the related_name..through as the end as in "model = Restaurant.staff.through" if you want to list all staff members under each restaurant in a stacked or tabular inline. This will also display the through table fields. Pretty nifty.

[@bugbytes3923]

Thank you, and nice suggestion there - I should have added it!

Thanks a lot!

[@rakeshmali1727]

Hey, great video. Just one question, at 17:40, can't we just add another `staffs = ManyToManyField(Staff)` in Restaurant model as well?

[@Septumsempra8818]

In your next HTMX x Alpine.js video could you cover passing data between htmx and Alpine components. Eg. How do I change an HTMX request based on x-data state? I saw the "htmx.process()" method, but It's not so clear. Keep up the great work 🇿🇦

[@bugbytes3923]

Great suggestion, I'll add that to the list, thank you!

[@user-ll4pv3yd5v]
