This document discusses method-based views in Django applications. It introduces the concept of creating reusable Django applications that can be deployed multiple times by mounting the application at different URL paths. This allows each instance to have its own configuration and state. An example application called Tournament Control is discussed, which is used to manage sporting competitions across multiple venues. The document demonstrates how to create a reusable base application class that defines URLs and views as methods, and can then be subclassed and configured for each deployment instance.
Method based views in django applications
- 1. Method-based views in Django applications Gary Reynolds Touch Technology @goodtune bitbucket.org/goodtune github.com/goodtune
- 2. Refresher ? Last time we looked at building up a library which will help save us some boilerplate ? It incorporated better form ?elds, simple decorated mixins to enforce authentication, and a few other niceties
- 3. This time ? What if we need to deploy the same application multiple times? ? In our URLconf we could point to the applications urls.py as many times as we need... from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, url urlpatterns = patterns('', url(/slideshow/method-based-views-in-django-applications-14050952/14050952/r&), url(/slideshow/method-based-views-in-django-applications-14050952/14050952/r&), )
- 4. Issues ? If your application requires con?guration at run-time, you probably use a custom settings.MYAPP_VAR or similar? ? That will usually apply globally, not per mount point. ? If the application was an instance with it¡¯s own state, the issue goes away.
- 5. Basic anatomy class MyApp(object): def __init__(self, name='myapp', app_name='myapp'): self.name = name self.app_name = app_name def get_urls(self): urlpatterns = patterns('', url(/slideshow/method-based-views-in-django-applications-14050952/14050952/r&), ) @property def urls(self): return self.get_urls(), self.app_name, self.name def index(self, request): return HttpResponse('')
- 6. Let¡¯s see it in practice
- 7. Horses for courses ? This book store is missing a view for the details of a book. ? It really is an admin application, allowing authenticated creation and updating of Book instances by authenticated users. ? Lets use inheritance to split the functionality.
- 9. Real world example ? Tournament Control is an application for managing sporting competitions ? Scheduling ?xtures ? Allocating matches to grounds & timeslots ? Recording results and automatic ladder updates
- 10. Tournament Control ? Shameless plug ? http://www.sydney.touch.asn.au/ ? http://www.touchsuperleague.org.uk/ ? http://www.touchworldcup2011.co.uk/ ? We¡¯re interested in Touch Superleague because they run multiple application instances - they have venues in Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Jersey.
