Comment:
Hi mahmoodkhan,
You don't `extra()` to achieve this. There's already a couple of open
tickets that you can relate to (#25774 comes to mind) but you should
annotate your queryset with a
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/models/lookups/#transform-
reference Transform] in order to extract the year and months.
If you don't want to write your own Transform subclass you can use the
undocumented `MonthTransform` and `YearTransform` to annotate your
queryset:
{{{#!python
from django.db.models.lookups import MonthTransform as Month,
YearTransform as Year
Item.objects.annotate(
year=Year('date'),
month=Month('date'),
).values('year', 'month').annotate(count=Count('pk'))
}}}
Keep in mind that you're relying on a private API (used internally to
implement the `__month` and `__year` lookups) that might be moved around
or replaced.
Once `values()` allows transforms and lookups you should be able to simply
do this:
{{{#!python
Item.objects.values('date__year',
'date__month').annotate(count=Count('pk'))
}}}
