YearMixin
---------
.. class:: YearMixin
A mixin that can be used to retrieve and provide parsing information for a
year component of a date.
**Methods and Attributes**
.. attribute:: year_format
The :func:`~time.strftime` format to use when parsing the year.
By default, this is ``'%Y'``.
.. attribute:: year
**Optional** The value for the year, as a string. By default, set to
``None``, which means the year will be determined using other means.

DateMixin
---------
.. class:: DateMixin
A mixin class providing common behavior for all date-based views.
**Methods and Attributes**
.. attribute:: date_field
The name of the ``DateField`` or ``DateTimeField`` in the
``QuerySet``'s model that the date-based archive should use to
determine the list of objects to display on the page.
When :doc:`time zone support </topics/i18n/timezones>` is enabled and
``date_field`` is a ``DateTimeField``, dates are assumed to be in the
current time zone. Otherwise, the queryset could include objects from
the previous or the next day in the end user's time zone.
.. warning::
In this situation, if you have implemented per-user time zone
selection, the same URL may show a different set of objects,
depending on the end user's time zone. To avoid this, you should
use a ``DateField`` as the ``date_field`` attribute.
.. attribute:: allow_future
A boolean specifying whether to include "future" objects on this page,
where "future" means objects in which the field specified in
``date_field`` is greater than the current date/time. By default, this
is ``False``.
.. method:: get_date_field()
Returns the name of the field that contains the date data that this
view will operate on. Returns :attr:`~DateMixin.date_field` by default.
.. method:: get_allow_future()
Determine whether to include "future" objects on this page, where
"future" means objects in which the field specified in ``date_field``
is greater than the current date/time. Returns
:attr:`~DateMixin.allow_future` by default.
BaseDateListView
----------------
.. class:: BaseDateListView
A base class that provides common behavior for all date-based views. There
won't normally be a reason to instantiate
:class:`~django.views.generic.dates.BaseDateListView`; instantiate one of
the subclasses instead.
While this view (and its subclasses) are executing, ``self.object_list``
will contain the list of objects that the view is operating upon, and
``self.date_list`` will contain the list of dates for which data is
available.
**Mixins**
* :class:`~django.views.generic.dates.DateMixin`
* :class:`~django.views.generic.list.MultipleObjectMixin`
**Methods and Attributes**
.. attribute:: allow_empty
A boolean specifying whether to display the page if no objects are
available. If this is ``True`` and no objects are available, the view
will display an empty page instead of raising a 404.
This is identical to
:attr:`django.views.generic.list.MultipleObjectMixin.allow_empty`,
except for the default value, which is ``False``.
.. attribute:: date_list_period
**Optional** A string defining the aggregation period for
``date_list``. It must be one of ``'year'`` (default), ``'month'``, or
``'day'``.
.. method:: get_dated_items()
Returns a 3-tuple containing (``date_list``, ``object_list``,
``extra_context``).
``date_list`` is the list of dates for which data is available.
``object_list`` is the list of objects. ``extra_context`` is a
dictionary of context data that will be added to any context data
provided by the
:class:`~django.views.generic.list.MultipleObjectMixin`.
.. method:: get_dated_queryset(**lookup)
Returns a queryset, filtered using the query arguments defined by
``lookup``. Enforces any restrictions on the queryset, such as
``allow_empty`` and ``allow_future``.
.. method:: get_date_list_period()
Returns the aggregation period for ``date_list``. Returns
:attr:`~BaseDateListView.date_list_period` by default.
.. method:: get_date_list(queryset, date_type=None, ordering='ASC')
Returns the list of dates of type ``date_type`` for which ``queryset``
contains entries. For example, ``get_date_list(qs, 'year')`` will
return the list of years for which ``qs`` has entries. If
``date_type`` isn't provided, the result of
:meth:`~BaseDateListView.get_date_list_period` is used. ``date_type``
and ``ordering`` are simply passed to
:meth:`QuerySet.dates()<django.db.models.query.QuerySet.dates>`.
.. versionchanged:: 1.5
The ``ordering`` parameter was added, and the default order was
changed to ascending.
