Django Rest Framework - filters models where ArrayField includes value1 OR value2, not subset

Solution 1:

overlap is the lookup expression you are after.

Returns objects where the data shares any results with the values passed. Uses the SQL operator &&. For example:

>>> Post.objects.create(name='First post', tags=['thoughts', 'django'])
>>> Post.objects.create(name='Second post', tags=['thoughts'])
>>> Post.objects.create(name='Third post', tags=['tutorial', 'django'])

>>> Post.objects.filter(tags__overlap=['thoughts'])
<QuerySet [<Post: First post>, <Post: Second post>]>

>>> Post.objects.filter(tags__overlap=['thoughts', 'tutorial'])
<QuerySet [<Post: First post>, <Post: Second post>, <Post: Third post>]>
