How to combine select_related() and value()?

Question

We know there is a values() method of QuerySet, when there is a foreign key (author, for example), it result like:

[{ \'author_id\':         


        

Answer 1

AFAIK, Django doesn't have builtin support for that. select_related never changes the outcome of a queryset, only the number of queries when you access related object.

You could use DjangoFullSerializers to get something that is similar to what you want.
