Django URL converters
Project description
django-urlconverter: Django automatic view parameters conversion
The django-urlconverter package provides an easy way to convert view arguments from simple types to complex ones, like models, or just do some processing using robust syntax. Most interesting application of the package is to convert view arguments which are object ids (from database via ORM) to the instances of those objects (Models).
Installation
pip install django-urlconverter
Usage
models.py:
from django.db import models
class FooBar(models.Model):
"""Foo Bar model."""
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
converters.py:
from .models import FooBar
class Foo(object):
"""Foo converter. Convert an object id to FooBar instance."""
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
self.kwargs = kwargs
def __call__(self, value, request, *args, **kwargs):
return FooBar.objects.get(pk=value)
settings.py:
URL_CONVERTERS = {
'Foo': 'converters.Foo', # Converts to 'FooBar instance'
}
urls.py:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns
from django_urlconverter import converted_arguments_url
urlpatterns = patterns('views',
converted_arguments_url(r'^foos/<Foo:foo2>/', 'bar'),
)
views.py:
def bar(request, foo2):
"""View function which gets a converted foo2.
the foo2 will be a converted parameter, which is the result of Foo converter
"""
return foo2.title
