Re: Class Views Questions

Hi,

There's a mixin that does exactly what you're doing in your view, ProcessFormView; used by the generic view FormView. You should use it. ;)

If you want to use the same view to delete an object you will probably have to change your dispatch method (defined at  View class), there's no way to do this by the urlconf module.

From the docs:

The URLconf doesn't look at the request method. In other words, all request methods -- POST, GET, HEAD, etc. -- will be routed to the same function for the same URL.

Check it on: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#what-the-urlconf-searches-against

Just for the record, there's a generic class view, called DeleteView, that you should use, but as a different view.

Hope that helps. ;)

I am fooling around with django generic class views, and I was
wondering if its possible to actually build class views per item for
example I have the following class view.


class TeamView( View, TemplateResponseMixin ):
   template_name = 'team.html'

   def get(self, request):
       if 'team' in request.GET:
           team = Team.objects.get(id = request.GET['team'])
           form = TeamForm( instance = team )
       else
           team = None
           form = TeamForm( )

       return self.render_to_response({'form':form})

   def post(self, request):
       form = TeamForm(request.POST)

       if not form.is_valid():
           return self.render_to_response({'form': form})

       ....

I want to use this class to also delete the team. I love to use a
method by itself by adding
  def delete(self,request)
      if 'team' in request.GET:
           team = Team.objects.get(id = request.GET['team'])
           team.delete()

Is there a way to specify this in url.py and get around the dispatch
for the get?

Any advise appreciated.
