Re: Best practice to render the view based on the user

Hi,

Not sure about whether it's a good idea or not. If statements might also be good enough.

Be careful with security, but in theory something like this should work:

method_name = 'person' + person.type

method = getattr(self, method_name)

output = method()

Hi! I would like to render views based on the user. I have some differents type of users on my app and I would like to create a class like this one for the view:

class MyView(MyCustomView)  # MyCustomView subclass View 

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

        # common code for all persons

    def personA(self):

        # code for personA

    def personB(self):

        # code for personA

    # ....

    def personN(self):

        # code for personA

    def anyPerson(self)

        # For any user non listed above

    

Then if the MyView is run, the function based on the user is automatically fired.

My doubts (at the moment):

1) Do you think is the a good way to face the problem?

2) I have methods in the models to know what person is logged. How I can automatically load the right function in the class based on the user?

Thank you
