Description
To retrieve a deferred model attributes, the get method is called twice. This is because it uses the getattr() function, which in turn causes the get method to be called again.
def __get__(self, instance, cls=None): """ Retrieve and caches the value from the datastore on the first lookup. Return the cached value. """ if instance is None: return self data = instance.__dict__ field_name = self.field.attname if field_name not in data: # Let's see if the field is part of the parent chain. If so we # might be able to reuse the already loaded value. Refs #18343. val = self._check_parent_chain(instance) if val is None: instance.refresh_from_db(fields=[field_name]) **val = getattr(instance, field_name)** data[field_name] = val return data[field_name]
To prevent this unnecessary call, we can simply extract the value from the instance dict (at that moment it already contains the searched value):
def __get__(self, instance, cls=None): """ Retrieve and caches the value from the datastore on the first lookup. Return the cached value. """ if instance is None: return self data = instance.__dict__ field_name = self.field.attname if field_name not in data: # Let's see if the field is part of the parent chain. If so we # might be able to reuse the already loaded value. Refs #18343. val = self._check_parent_chain(instance) if val is None: instance.refresh_from_db(fields=[field_name]) # Now the instance dict contains the reloaded data. # Using getattr() will do extra call to __get__ method. **val = data[field_name]** data[field_name] = val return data[field_name]
This reduces the number of method calls.
