Re: Accessing attributes of the current view in Django middleware?

Hey,

Try along these lines:

    def process_view(self, request, view_func, view_args, view_kwargs):

        view = get_class(view_func.__module__, view_func.__name__)

        view.my_attribute

While `get_class()`:

from django.utils import importlib

def get_class(module_name, cls_name):

    try:

        module = importlib.import_module(module_name)

    except ImportError:

        raise ImportError('Invalid class path: {}'.format(module_name))

    try:

        cls = getattr(module, cls_name)

    except AttributeError:

        raise ImportError('Invalid class name: {}'.format(cls_name))

    else:

        return cls

I'm trying to access an attribute of the current view instance in the middleware layer.

For example, given a class-based view like this:

# views.py  class MyView(View):      my_attribute = 'something'

I'd love to be able to get a handle on my_attribute in the middleware by doing something like this:

# middleware.py  def process_view(self, request, view_func, view_args, view_kwargs):      my_attribute = request.view.my_attribute

Of course, this does not work because Django doesn't expose the view instance through the request object.

Is there any way to get this accomplished?

Many thanks!
