Django Tutorial for Beginners - 29 - Generic Views

Source Code: github.com/the...
Core Deployment Guide (AWS): docs.google.co...

[@linyijiang9324]

For anyone who wants to know how to get the foreign key related instances, you have to use model_name_set.all function in your template. For example, a blog post has many comments, so when you try to get the comments through the post, you need to use "{% for comment in post.comment_set.all %}" in your template. If you do not understand what I am saying, go to the site: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Server-side/Django/Generic_views This is the most useful and detailed tutorial I have seen so far! Good job!

[@corrichyou]

Well done imitation of designer :) 8:40 - 8:50

[@ethansun3251]

I reflectively hit Ctrl-z on keyboard after you delete all the original views...

[@khushalimal5186]

Never everrrr have I seen a clearer explanation of Generic views than this oneeee✨

[@Loeil22]

Simply the best programming channel on YT

[@superuseriii]

Great tutorials man. Keep up the good work but here's a side note. For the IndexView the code is simple enough to just use the default implementation. So instead of overriding get_queryset all you have to do is override the model attribute to use the model you want. INSTEAD OF: class IndexView(generic.ListView): template_name = 'template.html' def get_queryset(self): return Album.objects.all() YOU CAN JUST DO: class IndexView(generic.ListView): model = Album template_name = 'template.html' And that's it!!! ALSO(from the Django docs): " 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'."

[@amalik4273]

Thanks. Didn't know about the context_object_name part.

[@TrustEngineers]

Love Django, love Buckey, you're the man, best Django tutorial on the net!

[@345angad]

Is it weird that I still think Django is confusing by the time 29 tuts have passed?

[@byYuriy]

+Mr_Teacher _Man It is complex at the start but it is awesome when you will get it.

[@345angad]

+Yuriy Reshetylo I''ll just continue watching Bucky's tutorials. Hopefull I''l understand it after a certain amount of time.

[@ofir-bar-softr]

+Mr_Teacher _Man i know your feeling, don't give up! :) suddenly it became much more clear to me

[@Darthdeedee91]

don't follow the tuts blindly or you will just be entering what he enters in. try to customize it to your own so you are learning as you go. you might run into some problems but fixing the problems and learning from them is what really makes you understand the workings of Django (probably anything for that matter).

[@Hackaprende]

Everytime I learn something, I think "But what if this or that?" and I try it, in that way I learn more, for example, "What if instead of passing just context_object_name = 'album_list'" you want to pass multiple objects to the template like before when we had a dictionary, I´ll try to learn this even if it´s not part of the tutorial (at least so far)

[@MatthewDickensmjd]

Those Darn Web Designers! Lol I laughed so much at that.

[@InsaneBastardGuy]

I like your impression of a web designer.

[@GelsYT]

NoReverseMatch at /music/1/ Reverse for 'favorite' not found. 'favorite' is not a valid view function or pattern name.

[@eeeyrie]

I know this is old, but just remove the stuff for favouriting like he did.

[@MichaelAbebreseAgyeman]

model = Album is the same thing as query_set = Album.objects.all and it's the shortcut way of def get_queryset()

[@muntadarmuhammad4578]

i think this is kind of not logical especially DetailView how can URL know the pk = album.id

[@AlbertStepanyan]

thanks for tutorials .. quik question.....what if out detail view depends on many models not just one???

[@21timster]

following!

[@iamzumie]

Finally I understand generic views! :)

[@tonyiguru7595]

Anyone getting this error: 'as_view() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given' was caused from omitting the parentheses in the urls.py details as_view.... It should look like this, if you use re_path. re_path(r'^(?P[0-9]+)/$', views.DetailView.as_view(), name='detail'),

[@Tano0]

im having a rough time validating a form that has a "fk" of a class i have already created using a createclassview class. Any tutorial on that matter?

[@PavolSojak]

hey man! thanks for all these.. I really enjoy these trainings, and learned a lot over the last 2 weeks following your tutorials ;)

[@wesleysartori4079]

Thank you, I was missing out on some points and your video took away my doubt.

[@Jigyasu_RP]

Hello everyone..Please can anyone help me out... When I use object_list I am getting error.. As NoReverseMatch Reverse for detail with arguments'(",)' not found. 1 pattern (s) tried : ['music/(?P[0-9]+)/$]

[@terangaplus]

Hey ! (5:13) - in vews, class IndexViews, how can we repesent Album and Song models in the same class ? I tried to do : def get_queryset(self): return Album.objects.all() def get_queryset(self): return Song.objects.all() But it doesn't work Please, help !

[@Ishanatmuz]

You said that pk and id are interchangeable and we can use either one. I tried to use id instead of pk in the urlpatterns, but it didn't work. When I use pk it works but it didn't work with id. Why is that?

[@waseemikram2850]

as_view() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given found this error can you help me?

[@waseemikram2850]

TypeError at /music/1/ as_view() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

[@Ishanatmuz]

I am assuming you have the problem with DetailView. Since I don't have your code I can't tell you what's wrong. Here is my code for your reference. music/urls.py # /music// url(r'^(?P[0-9]+)/$', views.DetailView.as_view(), name='detail'), music/views.py class DetailView(generic.DetailView): model = Album template_name = 'music/detail.html' If this doesn't help you then you will have to provide your code to check.

[@ivangrobenski5389]

just use "pk" instead of "id" keyword... Turns out it actually matters which one u use...

[@looploop6612]

I have 3-week experience in Django but still get confused by its relationship among files and variables

[@ishwaraju]

Reverse for 'favorite' with arguments '(1,)' and keyword arguments '{}' not found. 0 pattern(s) tried: [] ... i m facing this error .. please help

[@steffikunc7948]

had the same problem, look at detail.html and compare to his detail.html at 2:10 made my page work now

[@kedarkhandi]

what you did to resolve it ?

[@kazishamsilarefine]

Have you deleted your old code? If you comment out all it will not work :D

[@ant71555]

Thank you very much

[@concerned1901]

Thanks, It really helped, but can you tell why it behaves that way???????

[@runthomas]

very good presentation, you cleared up a troublesome subject for me...thanks

[@kojakeugenio1064]

This doesnt work for me. I am getting this error when i click any of the album NoReverseMatch at /music/3/ Reverse for 'favorite' not found. 'favorite' is not a valid view function or pattern name.

[@tonymugendi8523]

did you delete the favourite function?

[@Dadusingh1010]

yes ( i am also getting same error)

[@Dadusingh1010]

hey ..It solved i was forgot to clean detail

[@Dadusingh1010]

might be you too

[@chrisk9303]

change that -from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse- to that -from django.urls import reverse-

[@alienaerobics194]

I'm not sure why this worked for Bucky without adding a context_object_name = album to the DetailView class. I'm not following his music/albums format, but mine is similar and I had to add the context object name to show a valid details page.

[@shivajohari2249]

I also got sae issue ... your comment saved me .... Billion Thanks :) even I wonder how his code was working fine ??? :/

[@chrisk9303]

if you want to import reverse, import it from django.urls from django.urls import reverse

[@balasubramanyamavvaru1311]

Thank you very much Mr Bucky. Very Nice videos. I am the Beginner for Python and DJango. Very nice explanation in all the videos. 29th video is more confusing. The pattern for the LIST VIEW is completely changed from Video-28 to Video-29. How did you get this change ? Please explain. We will be very much thankful to you. Any advanced DJango online courses you r offering? what is the cost ?

[@victorkironde5425]

Thanks, Bucky. How do you go about learning quickly and efficiently?

[@couturexolivia]

Amazing video thank you I've been looking forever for this!!

[@koualsky]

i still don't get the generic views... i understand how it works but i don't know why is better than simply get object and render() it...

[@tanu3873]

Its just a little less code to type

[@marpich23]

Loved this video , thanks for your clear explanation

[@faustinutub]

i didn't notice that bucky removed if all_albums condition and debugged django's work a little. when you give another name to object_list it doesn't disappear from code and you still can use it as well as new given name. just for your information.

[@jamesmasonic]

still dont get it. i watched every single one in youtube. i dont get it. please someone make a dummies version of this nightmare..

[@Babe_Chinwendum]

How about now?

[@winuxworx]

The biggest challenge to me in following this old tutorial today Dec, 2018. I'm having issues with "urlpatterns" and now the requirement to use "pk" or "slug" which wasn't required here. or maybe i'm just doing something wrong. Either way this tutorial is very good.

[@Crucizer]

I'm having the same problem, help me!

[@dinkarinjosh]

what if i need to send an error or warning message to html page? earlier we used dictionary for the saem.. {'album': all_albums , 'error_message' : 'no album found'} ?

[@swells5ca]

how do you add songs, I have the SongCreate modelform made - added song_add to my urls and have tried everything I can think of in song_form.html? I am sure it is simple but I can't see it help?

[@parasmalhotra7633]

I felt the generic views as simple rather than the earlier complex design.....😅 Thanks bucky your Tutorials are amazing

[@udaynaiksn]

Hi Bucky, How did you add a custom icon on title bar. I tried to add in base.html file and its not working. :( when opening the base.html it shows but not through Django server page

[@Zelanias]

What does view:detail mean in the url-link of index.html? In which video is it? I don't have much time and that is why i am asking. Cheers.

[@sanjoyghosh6381]

after making this changes it show me No Album.....Why??? pls help

[@sam4077kr]

If you used {% if all_albums %} in index.html , replace it with {% if object_list %}

[@abcd-ek1rt]

+Aqib Zaheer, Did u fix it? I am also having the same problem

[@RamisaAnjum]

I had the same error and after I made the changes in the index.html file, it was fixed. the if-else block should be removed.

Git's really helpful, when bucky's doing some big changes, you can save a snapshot of that code by commiting.

Or you could just comment it out, otherwise the next commit will overwrite it.

Are pk and id really interchangeable? I tried to use id instead of pk in the urlpatterns, but it didn't work. When I use pk it works but it didn't work with id. Why is that? please help me

django.urls.exceptions.NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'favorite' not found. 'favorite' is not a valid view function or pattern name. [10/Apr/2020 14:58:23] "GET /music/1/ HTTP/1.1" 500 159601

[@romit5867]

in your detail.html page change that favorite to details

[@emmetgingles2073]

Strange. In my code all_album returns the list of albums but object_list doesn't. I didn't have to set context_object_name.

[@Rajatgng]

why there is no return in DetailView class as same as in IndexView??

[@黃書豪]

so where the favorite function go?

[@addohm]

Would you do a more in depth tutorial on CBVs? I'd be really interested in heavily customized form control.

[@alirezaghodsipoor2239]

Thanks for perfect teaching Bucky! How does django recognize where to place "Album" model, declared in DetailView, in template 'music/detail.html'?

[@inhaledeath3899]

At 8:16 he explains that the queryset is automatically stored in the variable object_list for use in the html-files

[@alirezaghodsipoor2239]

Inhale Death: I think object_list is used only for ListView. My question was related to DetailView.

[@deepakofall4677]

Thus is just what i wanted, thanks a lot

[@yoco8041]

I had an issue while wanting to display a detail of an object from DB. Instead of object_list put simply object and that is it. It will be displayed.

[@ggodoyoliveira]

That is beautiful, thanks for showing to us!

[@hrishigg3024]

Its not displaying any logo for my album. What should I do?

[@Jordan-lz6hd]

I struggled to get a detail view. The cause of the blank detail view page was the wrong object name used in the for loop in detail.html. Mine said refer.song_set.all which was pointing to an object that was no longer an instance of the class Album because the DetailView function set model = Album. This is the new instance of the class Album. So change your for loop in detail.html to {% for song in album.song_set.all%} and that should fix it.

[@harryammon2274]

Whilst its all good having a more compact code, alot of the code that got deleted from views.py was error checking incase no records were found in the database, unless Bucky goes on to add this in a later the tutorial i do not see the benefit of this if it means there is no error checking included

[@BLOBBERNATOR]

I thought this was the case too, but I tested out the same things we did a while back and all of what we already did with view functions is handled. Its almost like magic!

[@user47263]

Hi Bucky, Please show us how to add songs, its hard for me to do it since it has a foreign key.

[@Vijay-dw5ej]

Thanks dude, great explanation and helped lot. Thanks a lott

I used comments to explain the optional renaming of object_list in my views.py right under "template_name". Funny thing: Then it generates an error message. If I delete the comment, everything works. Does anyone have an explanation for that?

oh my god ! what are you doing !!

QuerySet' object has no attribute '_default_manager' help me

[@rashmitpankhania6513]

Generic detail view DetailsView must be called with either an object pk or a slug.

[@ahsanhabib2577]

how come the detail view know that the object name is 'album' in detail.html ?? is it the lower case of the "model" name mentioned in DetailView class ???

[@kgehmlich]

Django automatically chooses an appropriate context variable name based on the model name ('Album' in this case, which is converted to the lowercase 'album' when being passed to the template). See here for more details, about 3/4 of the way down: docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/intro/tutorial04/

[@exis8]

now i figures how bucky can do so much coding without making mistakes or stutter. now you probably just gonna say 'nah i think you are just bad', It appears that the recorded window is slightly smaller than the desktop size, which is abnormal. I think he have the readied script outside of the recording area, and code according to the precoded code :) nice trick haha

[@yeeteshpulstya9890]

Exis Zhang everyone does that. That other code is reference code, which he didn't blindly copy. It takes effort and understanding.

Oh god! I lost a lot of time going back and forth. Man, why didn't you start with Generic Views since the beginning?. It is like if you were doing OOP and moving everything again to Functional Programming. I feel so frustrated. LOL
