django-viewmodels

Automatic viewmodel conversion for django class-based views

* import View from djviewmodels.views and use it as a base class ** define viewmodels as a dictionary (key: variable name in context, value: class to replace with) for automatic conversion of variables in the returned context to viewmodels ** define get, post, put, delete as methods to handle those requests, return a context dictionary ** define init_request as a generic method to handle the beginning of all requests * init_request can return a dictionary, whose values will be passed to get/post/whoever* init_request returned dictionary will be added to template context ** define template_name or json * template_name will cause context dictionaries to be rendered to that template* json will cause context dictionaries to be rendered to json

* Automatic viewmodel extension of models: ** define wrap_each to have individual viewmodels wrapped around individual models * __getattr__ will look inside the instance for fields* define fields to specify which fields to allow automatic retrieval of * define exclude to exclude fields define wrap_collection to have the viewmodel wrap around the whole list

  • deprecated receive_single_instance and receive_multiple_instances still functional until v1.0

* viewmodel replacement function and decorator can be used in viewmodels or views without the class based view of django viewmodels: ** djviewmodels.utils.vm_replace(cls, obj_or_list, request=None) accepts a viewmodel class, an object or list, and an optional request, and returns viewmodels ** djviewmodels.decorators.viewmodel_wrap(cls) wraps a function that returns some value and turns that value into cls-based viewmodels. Looks for self.request on methods.
