The article introduces a utility function, `get_object_or_none`, for Django ORM, designed to safely retrieve a single object from the database without the need for repetitive try/except error handling. This function not only returns an instance if found but also returns None if no object exists. Importantly, it optimizes database queries by optionally using select_related and prefetch_related, enhancing performance on related fields. This makes it particularly useful for applications where efficiency is a priority. The utility can help developers manage database queries effectively, supporting cleaner code practices.
This utility streamlines the process of safely retrieving a single object from the database without repetitive try/except blocks, making it ideal for performance-focused applications.
