Generic editing views
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The following views are described on this page and provide a foundation for
|
|
editing content:
|
|
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.edit.FormView`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.edit.CreateView`
|

|
Some of the examples on this page assume that an ``Article`` model has been
|
|
defined as follows in ``myapp/models.py``::
|
|
|
|
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
|
|
from django.db import models
|
|
|
|
class Author(models.Model):
|
|
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
|
|
|
|
def get_absolute_url(self):
|
|
return reverse('author-detail', kwargs={'pk': self.pk})
|
|
|
|

|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
**Example views.py**::
|
|
|
|
from myapp.forms import ContactForm
|
|
from django.views.generic.edit import FormView
|
|
|
|
class ContactView(FormView):
|
|

|
|

|
|
success_url = '/thanks/'
|
|
|
|
def form_valid(self, form):
|
|
# This method is called when valid form data has been POSTed.
|
|
# It should return an HttpResponse.
|
|
form.send_email()
|
|
return super(ContactView, self).form_valid(form)
|
|
|
|
CreateView
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: django.views.generic.edit.CreateView
|
|
|
|
A view that displays a form for creating an object, redisplaying the form
|
|
with validation errors (if there are any) and saving the object.
|
|
|
|
**Ancestors (MRO)**
|
|
|
|
This view inherits methods and attributes from the following views:
|
|
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.edit.CreateView`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.detail.SingleObjectTemplateResponseMixin`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.base.TemplateResponseMixin`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.edit.BaseCreateView`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.edit.ModelFormMixin`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.edit.FormMixin`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.detail.SingleObjectMixin`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.edit.ProcessFormView`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.base.View`
|
|
|
|
**Attributes**
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: template_name_suffix
|
|
|
|
The ``CreateView`` page displayed to a ``GET`` request uses a
|
|
``template_name_suffix`` of ``'_form'``. For
|
|
example, changing this attribute to ``'_create_form'`` for a view
|
|
creating objects for the example ``Author`` model would cause the
|
|
default ``template_name`` to be ``'myapp/author_create_form.html'``.
|
|
|
|
**Example views.py**::
|
|
|
|
from django.views.generic.edit import CreateView
|
|
from myapp.models import Author
|
|
|
|
class AuthorCreate(CreateView):
|
|
model = Author
|
|
|
|
UpdateView
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: django.views.generic.edit.UpdateView
|
|
|
|
A view that displays a form for editing an existing object, redisplaying
|
|
the form with validation errors (if there are any) and saving changes to
|
|
the object. This uses a form automatically generated from the object's
|
|
model class (unless a form class is manually specified).
|
|
|
|
**Ancestors (MRO)**
|
|
|
|
This view inherits methods and attributes from the following views:
|
|
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.edit.UpdateView`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.detail.SingleObjectTemplateResponseMixin`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.base.TemplateResponseMixin`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.edit.BaseUpdateView`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.edit.ModelFormMixin`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.edit.FormMixin`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.detail.SingleObjectMixin`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.edit.ProcessFormView`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.base.View`
|
|
|
|
**Attributes**
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: template_name_suffix
|
|
|
|
The ``UpdateView`` page displayed to a ``GET`` request uses a
|
|
``template_name_suffix`` of ``'_form'``. For
|
|
example, changing this attribute to ``'_update_form'`` for a view
|
|
updating objects for the example ``Author`` model would cause the
|
|
default ``template_name`` to be ``'myapp/author_update_form.html'``.
|
|
|
|
**Example views.py**::
|
|
|
|
from django.views.generic.edit import UpdateView
|
|
from myapp.models import Author
|
|
|
|
class AuthorUpdate(UpdateView):
|
|
model = Author
|
|
|
|
DeleteView
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: django.views.generic.edit.DeleteView
|
|
|
|
A view that displays a confirmation page and deletes an existing object.
|
|
The given object will only be deleted if the request method is ``POST``. If
|
|
this view is fetched via ``GET``, it will display a confirmation page that
|
|
should contain a form that POSTs to the same URL.
|
|
|
|
**Ancestors (MRO)**
|
|
|
|
This view inherits methods and attributes from the following views:
|
|
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.edit.DeleteView`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.detail.SingleObjectTemplateResponseMixin`
|
|
* :class:`django.views.generic.base.TemplateResponseMixin`

|
|
|
|
**Attributes**
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: template_name_suffix
|
|
|
|
The ``DeleteView`` page displayed to a ``GET`` request uses a
|
|
``template_name_suffix`` of ``'_confirm_delete'``. For
|
|
example, changing this attribute to ``'_check_delete'`` for a view
|
|
deleting objects for the example ``Author`` model would cause the
|
|
default ``template_name`` to be ``'myapp/author_check_delete.html'``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Example views.py**::
|
|
|
|
from django.views.generic.edit import DeleteView
|
|
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse_lazy
|
|
from myapp.models import Author
