SingleObjectMixin
¶Provides a mechanism for looking up an object associated with the current HTTP request.
Methods and Attributes
The model that this view will display data for. Specifying model
= Foo
is effectively the same as specifying queryset =
Foo.objects.all()
, where objects
stands for Foo
’s
default manager.
A QuerySet
that represents the objects. If provided, the value of
queryset
supersedes the value provided for model
.
Warning
queryset
is a class attribute with a mutable value so care
must be taken when using it directly. Before using it, either call
its all()
method or
retrieve it with get_queryset()
which takes care of the
cloning behind the scenes.
The name of the field on the model that contains the slug. By default,
slug_field
is 'slug'
.
The name of the URLConf keyword argument that contains the slug. By
default, slug_url_kwarg
is 'slug'
.
The name of the URLConf keyword argument that contains the primary key.
By default, pk_url_kwarg
is 'pk'
.
Designates the name of the variable to use in the context.
If True
, causes get_object()
to perform its lookup using
both the primary key and the slug. Defaults to False
.
This attribute can help mitigate insecure direct object reference
attacks. When applications allow access to individual objects by a
sequential primary key, an attacker could brute-force guess all URLs;
thereby obtaining a list of all objects in the application. If users
with access to individual objects should be prevented from obtaining
this list, setting query_pk_and_slug
to True
will help prevent
the guessing of URLs as each URL will require two correct,
non-sequential arguments. Using a unique slug may serve the same
purpose, but this scheme allows you to have non-unique slugs.
Returns the single object that this view will display. If queryset
is provided, that queryset will be used as the source of objects;
otherwise, get_queryset()
will be used. get_object()
looks
for a pk_url_kwarg
argument in the arguments to the view; if
this argument is found, this method performs a primary-key based lookup
using that value. If this argument is not found, it looks for a
slug_url_kwarg
argument, and performs a slug lookup using the
slug_field
.
When query_pk_and_slug
is True
, get_object()
will
perform its lookup using both the primary key and the slug.
Returns the queryset that will be used to retrieve the object that
this view will display. By default, get_queryset()
returns the
value of the queryset
attribute if it is set, otherwise
it constructs a QuerySet
by calling
the all()
method on the model
attribute’s default manager.
Return the context variable name that will be used to contain the
data that this view is manipulating. If context_object_name
is
not set, the context name will be constructed from the model_name
of the model that the queryset is composed from. For example, the model
Article
would have context object named 'article'
.
Returns context data for displaying the object.
The base implementation of this method requires that the self.object
attribute be set by the view (even if None
). Be sure to do this if
you are using this mixin without one of the built-in views that does so.
It returns a dictionary with these contents:
object
: The object that this view is displaying
(self.object
).
context_object_name
: self.object
will also be stored under
the name returned by get_context_object_name()
, which defaults
to the lowercased version of the model name.
Context variables override values from template context processors
Any variables from get_context_data()
take precedence over
context variables from context processors. For example, if your view
sets the model
attribute to
User
, the default context
object name of user
would override the user
variable from
the django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth()
context
processor. Use get_context_object_name()
to avoid a clash.
Returns the name of a slug field to be used to look up by slug. By
default this returns the value of slug_field
.
SingleObjectTemplateResponseMixin
¶A mixin class that performs template-based response rendering for views
that operate upon a single object instance. Requires that the view it is
mixed with provides self.object
, the object instance that the view is
operating on. self.object
will usually be, but is not required to be,
an instance of a Django model. It may be None
if the view is in the
process of constructing a new instance.
Extends
Methods and Attributes
The field on the current object instance that can be used to determine
the name of a candidate template. If either template_name_field
itself or the value of the template_name_field
on the current
object instance is None
, the object will not be used for a
candidate template name.
The suffix to append to the auto-generated candidate template name.
Default suffix is _detail
.
Returns a list of candidate template names. Returns the following list:
the value of template_name
on the view (if provided)
the contents of the template_name_field
field on the
object instance that the view is operating upon (if available)
<app_label>/<model_name><template_name_suffix>.html
