Re: Attribute error, with a very basic banking app

I've read the tutorial but I didn't fully appreciate how useful CBV are. Amazing as well that sometimes you can write almost no code. Thanks a lot for explaining that.

In my experience, CBVs are useful when the view you want to write is basically a create, read, update, or delete operation on a single database item, or a bunch of instances of the same model (...and it turns out a lot of web app pages are just that). And they're useful because they let you do that with almost no lines of code - they take care of all the things you'd have to write over and over, and let you focus on the things that are unique to your use case.

The farther away your business logic is from that, the more you need to understand the actual methods available and the inheritance tree and so forth. It took me a while to get over this hurdle too, but now that I have I use CBVs exclusively.

heh heh. I don't fully appreciate the usefulness of CBV at the moment. Getting a simple example working helps as much as reading the tutorial. Thanks again for your help,

Never mind.
 Few year ago I  was thinking that moving to CBV is bad idea, but suddenly  BUUUHHH !! in my head and everything was clear. 

Many thanks,

Hello Serge,

I can't believe that's all I have to add to get the class based views to work. It seems easier to get it to work than I thought it would be. Now that you've explained it. Thank you so much for that.

Kind regards,

Neil

 Hello Neil, 

 It is nota problem  to use Class based view. Could you please  update your views.py  with next code. 
 Look like you would like to have detail  of the deposit in this case add next string to the header

from  django.views.generic import DetailView
from models import Account1, Person


 # next  you should create a special view class for each Account1


 class Deposit(DetailView):
    model = Account1


  Of course  function Deposit is  useless 

 thats all.

 
 P.S. Look like better way is adding auth  and receive person using auth data. In this case  every authorized person can  connect to his account  using auth info and  account id  

Many thanks,

Serge

Thank you so much Andromeda. I didn't know you could use class based views. I'll have a look at the documents. I don't know why I was trying to use them when I didn't need to.

The stacktrace is helpful, thanks!

The specific message with the AttributeError is helpful here: `AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'DepositView'`

The line above it is `  File "/home/soupdragon/DJapps/banking/mybank/banking/urls.py", line 8, in <module>
    url(r'^deposit/$', views.DepositView.as_view(), name='deposit'),`

So I checked to see if your views.py contains anything named DepositView...and it does not. That's why the AttributeError is showing up.

The `DepositView.as_view()` syntax is suitable for class-based views, which means I expect to see something in your views.py to the effect of:

class DepositView(View):
  def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
    // the logic in your deposit() function actually belongs here

Have a look at the class-based views documentation to see what the different classes are, and what options they provide you.

Alternately, your urls.py could reference views.deposit (which does exist) instead of views.DepositView (which does not).

Hope this helps!

Could you share the full stack trace you get when trying to run the server ?
The attribute error should come with a ton of information like the
file and the line where the error occur.
