# Common Table Expressions (CTE) for Django

## Installation
```
pip install django-cte
```


## Usage

### Simple Common Table Expressions

Simple CTE queries can be constructed using `With`. A custom `CTEManager` is
used to add the CTE to the final query.

```py
from django_cte import CTEManager, With

class Order(Model):
objects = CTEManager()
id = AutoField(primary_key=True)
region = ForeignKey("Region", on_delete=CASCADE)
amount = IntegerField(default=0)


cte = With(
Order.objects
.values("region_id")
.annotate(total=Sum("amount"))
)

orders = (
cte.join(Order, region=cte.col.region_id)
.with_cte(cte)
.annotate(region_total=cte.col.total)
.order_by("amount")
)
```

Orders returned by this query will have a `region_total` attribute containing
the sum of all order amounts in the order's region.


### Recursive Common Table Expressions

Recursive CTE queries can be constructed using `With.recursive`.

```py
class Region(Model):
objects = CTEManager()
name = TextField(primary_key=True)
parent = ForeignKey("self", null=True, on_delete=CASCADE)

def make_regions_cte(cte):
return Region.objects.filter(
# start with root nodes
parent__isnull=True
).values(
"name",
path=F("name"),
depth=Value(0, output_field=IntegerField()),
).union(
# recursive union: get descendants
cte.join(Region, parent=cte.col.name).values(
"name",
path=Concat(
cte.col.path, Value("\x01"), F("name"),
output_field=TextField(),
),
depth=cte.col.depth + Value(1, output_field=IntegerField()),
),
all=True,
)

cte = With.recursive(make_regions_cte)

regions = (
cte.join(Region, name=cte.col.name)
.with_cte(cte)
.annotate(
path=cte.col.path,
depth=cte.col.depth,
)
.order_by("path")
)
```

Regions returned by this query will have `path` and `depth` attributes. The
results will be ordered by `path` (hierarchically by region name). In this case
`path` is a `'\x01'`-delimited string of region names starting with the root
region.

See [tests](./tests) for more advanced examples.
