Some of your code blocks should've used "def" instead of "function" keyword for function declaration.

Wow - a 30 min lecture that is worth its weight in gold. Thanks for the excellent lecture, I’m new to Django and could follow your well thought through tutorial

[@deki90to]

I feel you 100%! I start with class views, and I thought this is so easy and clean, I'll stick with this... and then...the pain comes when I try to do something on my own. I failed to render 2 templates on the same page, so I had to go back to functions! I recommanded functions over this

[@timoijas5316]

Hey Dennis you're doing amazing job. I started learning django with youtube tutorials and you're a godsend. I don't know if you take any suggestions, but it would be awesome if you could make a tutorial on how to make a map application with django, or how to utilize machine learning with django. Great stuff!

[@ff4937]

Seriously, coming from someone that just started using Django, this video and the supplemental article is like a pot of gold! Initially, I was going the function-based view route, but I can now say with confidence I can write class-based views. Thank you!

[@anand_dudi]

The only guy who explained the topic clearly Thanks!

[@animeshsingh4290]

Depends on the job in hand, I usually use them as they are fast and clean. You could actually do anything with the methods in the base classes and use custom mixins as well as you would want with a function based views

[@DennisIvy]

Oh for sure, I’ve done that too :)

Great video. The Django guide I was following didn't go into enough detail on this topic and I knew the "magic" had to do with inheritance and some assumptions, but I reaaaallly hate not understanding what's going on under the hood. Thank you for this explanation.

Thank you so so much for this, I came from your 7 hour django tutorial and already was wondering what were the differences between class and function based views. Your article is pure gold! I'm still in my path of becoming a django developer and your content is really helping me understand everything. Keep it up, and thanks again

[@pranshupriyam632]

You videos are amazing Dennis! I was trying to find a good playlist on CBVs but this single video helped me understand the most about Class Based views than any of the playlists. Thank you for posting amazing tutorials on Django! ❤

Thank you very much !!!!! By your tutorials i have learned many new things about Django framework. Sorry for my English if something is wrong.

@@DennisIvy Absolutely! I like that they look cleaner than function based, but at the same time the function based gives me a better feeling of control since it's easier to see whats going on.

Hi Dennis Thanks! For such informative tutorial. I have one question, if someone is writing a view that doesn't use any of the models and performs its functionality (which is random) based on some data "inputed" by user. Then should one use Class based views since most of the classes that they inherit provide extended functionality for model based projects ?

[@theebookkeeper]

You are a good teacher. Thanks Ivanov.

[@DennisIvy]

Thank you 🙏

[@UnleashingMayhem]

This video saved my ass. Thank you so much.

[@nomeh]

I'm a full stack developer with 6+ yrs of python and django experience, I just want to tell you that you're far better off using the function based view especially if you're my type of programmer who loves using custom solutions

[@kenafriq]

Quick question @dennis ivy.. I presume I should use viewsets for my API in django.. And for other models that are not part of the API should I also use view sets?

[@owusukwesi6398]

Im a big faj of this guy, i just love him

[@glaceondev4149]

Acutally if you are working with django its fine and easy to use any of those 2 views. But if you are working with django-rest-framework then dude You gotta do it with class based views.Cuz it got more functionality.

[@rqwebdev8836]

Awesome explanation, I've taken paid courses with worse or next to no description of how class based views work!

[@chrisogonas]

Great resource! Thanks

[@GeorgeRed6206]

@dennis - great video - how would you use a function/method inside the class that's in another file that you import as module?

[@footballCartoon91]

man, I could not understand what actually context is ? in function based views, is context variables can be accessed anywhere from the html templates or is it the html templates that is passed to the `render()` method. For example, `return render(request, 'base/home.html', context)`. so, does this `context` variable accessible from let say `login.html`. Is it a global variable or is it only available for home.html ?

[@harishrajora6453]

Hey Dennis. I have a question that has been bogging me down for some time now. Consider I have a website that shows only non-expired products (expiration is based on time). How can I run regular queries on db so that I can get the notification as soon as a product expires? Please help.

[@nealrogers999]

One way would be to have a regular db task checking the date/time (as rarely/often as is appropriate for your particular use case) and setting an 'expired' flag that you hold against a product. Then you have a database trigger on that field/record and do whatever you want to - send an email, write to a file, whatever.

Too much talking, try getting to the point quickly. Just a friendly advice

[@unuefeejovwoke6609]

I think the talks were all necessary, he explained everything needed to be able to understand class based view and there is nothing wrong in sharing a story to pass a point across. If you have a problem with that then do your own tutorial on it and don't subscribe. Show appreciation for once.

[@megacrons]

next time, you go straight to point, nobody asked you for story, we just want to learn how to write class based view.
