lektor.db.ExpressionExpressions are used to filter down Query objects. They can be passed to the filter function in particular.
The most basic expression is created by accessing the F object
which will return an expression that points to a field. Further manipulation
of it can create more expressive expressions. F.name literally just means
that a field by that name exists and is set to a value.
The query syntax is mostly the same in Python as well as in the Jinja 2 templates, the main difference are and and or.
>>> p.children.filter((F.name == 'foo') | (F.name == 'bar')).all() [<Page model=u'page' id=u'bar'>, <Page model=u'page' id=u'foo'>]
