This is my first django app and I was wondering if it is possible to have a general class which will be extended by all Views. For example
class GeneralParent:
def __init__(self):
#SETTING Up different variables
self.LoggedIn = false
def isLoggedIn(self):
return self.LoggedIn
class FirstView(TemplateView):
####other stuff##
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(IndexView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
allLeads = len(self.getAllLeads())
context['isLoggedIn'] = ####CALL GENEREAL PARENT CLASS METHOD###
return context
class SecondView(FormView):
####other stuff##
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(IndexView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
allLeads = len(self.getAllLeads())
context['isLoggedIn'] = ####CALL GENEREAL PARENT CLASS METHOD###
return context
Is this possible in django?
Order of inheritance is important and calls of super cascade down the line of inheritance. You must account for any variables that may be passed down in inheritance in your __init__ methods.
The first inheritances methods will be called first, and the second as as the __init__ method of the first parent calls super (in order to call the __init__ of the second parent). GeneralParent must inherit from object or a class that inherits from object.
class GeneralParent(object):
def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
#SETTING Up different variables
super(GeneralParent,self).__init__(*args,**kwargs)
self.LoggedIn = false
def isLoggedIn(self):
return self.LoggedIn
class FirstView(GeneralParent,TemplateView):
####other stuff##
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(FirstView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
allLeads = len(self.getAllLeads())
context['isLoggedIn'] = ####CALL GENEREAL PARENT CLASS METHOD###
return context
class SecondView(GeneralParent,FormView):
####other stuff##
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(SecondView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
allLeads = len(self.getAllLeads())
context['isLoggedIn'] = ####CALL GENEREAL PARENT CLASS METHOD###
return context
