What are Django class based views & should you use them?

[@htlcnn]

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

[@DennisIvy]

Haha oh man good call!! I totally missed that 🤦‍♂️

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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 :)

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

[@CodeWithStein]

@@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.

[@aditya.01020]

@@CodeWithStein I don't know why I am learning class based views, but they are cool

[@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 ?

[@GeorgeRed6206]

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

[@GeorgeRed6206]

i figured it out !

[@litebook1951]

Where from did you learn class based view?

[@oduwaimade6037]

Like C#, one can define a class handler for a business logic. How can something similar be achieved with Django classes?

[@ARKPROCODER]

Awesome Dennis, i was looking for this video from too long✌️💯 You have explained very clearly thank you! The experienced you shared( you tried converting function based views to class based views then code got messed up was Psych 😅😅😅 made me laugh)

[@niharkashyap3897]

what is the difference between plain django class based views and the class based views in Django Rest Framework?

[@vatsalgupta400]

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 ?

[@CraigMatadeen]

Hey Deninis, it may not be that important but you may want to update the section with the mixins. ".. when we want to when we want to... ".

[@naveenvp1362]

No words for your expalantion..superb I love the way you decode the things❤.Completed your Dev search udemy course its an amazing short and crispy.now I will do that in class based views. And I will try to learn your react and django udemy course.soon (under progress).

[@Arbadjie]

This is really helpful.

[@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.

[@chrisogonas]

Great resource! Thanks

[@ronaldperaza5481]

Great video, and excellent teacher

[@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

[@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.

[@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.
