Allow use_for_related_fields via as_manager()

Description

The as_manager() method allows easy creation of chain-able managers. One of the most common use cases for these is with related fields. However, as_manager() doesn't currently allow use_for_related_fields to be specified. This patch proposes it could be set simply by way of an attribute on the QuerySet class, in the same way it currently does for Manager classes.

I think the general idea is accepted even if the exact API needs to be worked out.

Loic, can we close this in light of your PR to refactor manager inheritance (and deprecate use_for_related_fields)?

comment:5 by Loic Bistuer, 8 years ago

Indeed, but maybe we should let the commit messages close this ticket? Not counting the chickens before they're hatched kinda thing?

Resolution: fixed
Status: assignedclosed

In ed0ff91:

Fixed #10506, #13793, #14891, #25201 -- Introduced new APIs to specify models' default and base managers.

This deprecates use_for_related_fields.

Old API:

class CustomManager(models.Model):

use_for_related_fields = True

class Model(models.Model):

custom_manager = CustomManager()

New API:

class Model(models.Model):

custom_manager = CustomManager()

class Meta:

base_manager_name = 'custom_manager'

Refs #20932, #25897.

Thanks Tim Graham for writing the docs.
