Django shortcut functions
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
The package ``django.shortcuts`` collects helper functions and classes that
|
|
"span" multiple levels of MVC. In other words, these functions/classes
|
|
introduce controlled coupling for convenience's sake.
|
|
|
|
``render_to_response()``
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
``django.shortcuts.render_to_response`` renders a given template with a given
|
|
context dictionary and returns an ``HttpResponse`` object with that rendered
|
|
text.
|
|
|
|
Required arguments
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
``template``
|
|
The full name of a template to use.
|
|
|
|
Optional arguments
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
``context``
|
|
A dictionary of values to add to the template context. By default, this
|
|
is an empty dictionary. If a value in the dictionary is callable, the
|
|
view will call it just before rendering the template.
|
|
|
|
``mimetype``
|
|
**New in Django development version:** The MIME type to use for the
|
|
resulting document. Defaults to the value of the ``DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE``
|
|
setting.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The following example renders the template ``myapp/index.html`` with the
|
|
MIME type ``application/xhtml+xml``::
|
|
|
|
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
|
|
|
|
def my_view(request):
|
|
# View code here...
|
|
return render_to_response('myapp/index.html', {"foo": "bar"},
|
|
mimetype="application/xhtml+xml")
|
|
|
|
This example is equivalent to::
|
|
|
|
from django.http import HttpResponse
|
|
from django.template import Context, loader
|
|
|
|
def my_view(request):
|
|
# View code here...
|
|
t = loader.get_template('myapp/template.html')
|
|
c = Context({'foo': 'bar'})
|
|
r = HttpResponse(t.render(c),
|
|
mimetype="application/xhtml+xml")
|
|
|
|
.. _an HttpResponse object: ../request_response/#httpresponse-objects
|
|
|
|
``get_object_or_404``
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
``django.shortcuts.get_object_or_404`` calls `get()`_ on a given model
|
|
manager, but it raises ``django.http.Http404`` instead of the model's
|
|
``DoesNotExist`` exception.
|
|
|
|
Required arguments
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
``klass``
|
|
A ``Model``, ``Manager`` or ``QuerySet`` instance from which to get the
|
|
object.
|
|
|
|
``**kwargs``
|
|
Lookup parameters, which should be in the format accepted by ``get()`` and
|
|
``filter()``.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The following example gets the object with the primary key of 1 from
|
|
``MyModel``::
|
|
|
|
from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404
|
|
|
|
def my_view(request):
|
|
my_object = get_object_or_404(MyModel, pk=1)
|
|
|
|
This example is equivalent to::
|
|
|
|
from django.http import Http404
|
|
|
|
def my_view(request):
|
|
try:
|
|
my_object = MyModel.object.get(pk=1)
|
|
except MyModel.DoesNotExist:
|
|
raise Http404
|
|
|
|
Note: As with ``get()``, an ``AssertionError`` will be raised if more than
|
|
one object is found.
|
|
|
|
.. _get(): ../db-api/#get-kwargs
|
|
|
|
``get_list_or_404``
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
``django.shortcuts.get_list_or_404`` returns the result of `filter()`_ on a
|
|
given model manager, raising ``django.http.Http404`` if the resulting list is
|
|
empty.
|
|
|
|
Required arguments
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
``klass``
|
|
A ``Model``, ``Manager`` or ``QuerySet`` instance from which to get the
|
|
object.
|
|
|
|
``**kwargs``
|
|
Lookup parameters, which should be in the format accepted by ``get()`` and
|
|
``filter()``.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The following example gets all published objects from ``MyModel``::
|
|
|
|
from django.shortcuts import get_list_or_404
|
|
|
|
def my_view(request):
|
|
my_objects = get_list_or_404(MyModel, published=True)
|
|
|
|
This example is equivalent to::
|
|
|
|
from django.http import Http404
|
|
|
|
def my_view(request):
|
|
my_objects = MyModels.object.filter(published=True)
|
|
if not my_objects:
|
|
raise Http404
|
|
|
|
.. _filter(): ../db-api/#filter-kwargs
