Django: Return queryset and string

Question

In Django, is it possible to make a HttpResponse which is a combination of a queryset and a text string?

I imagine something like this

objs = ModelName.objects.all()

text = "Some text"

allData = ??? #Some kind of operation (json.dumps, serializers, or ...) that combines the two

return HttpResonse(allData,content_type="application/json")

Answer 1

You can wrap both in a dictionary, for example:

from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.core.serializers import serialize
from json import loads as jloads

objs = ModelName.objects.all()
text = 'Some text'

allData = {
    'objs': serialize('json', objs),
    'text': text
}

return JsonResponse(allData)

The data is thus a JSON object with two keys: objs that will contain the serialized queryset, and text that will contain the value in text .
