Django session usage
So as long as this is my first post, i thought, i should start with something very familiar with me. I have been using django for a while. About week ago i have to use django session, and i looked up here, but sadly no results. So i decided to write some tips that i'm using. First thing is first, this tip requires some knowledge to work on django. Hence i think there is no need to write template part.
So let's assume that we have a models.py like this:
class Book(models.Model):
flight_from_where = models.CharField(max_length=30)
flight_to_where = models.CharField(max_length=30)
flight_departure = models.DateField()
flight_return = models.DateField()
Obviously forms.py would be this:
class BookForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Book
and views.py for this form above:
def Book(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = BookForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
booking = form.save()
request.session['pk']=booking.pk
return HttpResponseRedirect('/details')
else:
form = BookForm()
return render(request, 'book.html', { 'form' : form })
and second view to show what user's input are, which means often web app have to show what user's inputs are in order to better UX.
def details(request):
book_form_id = request.session.get('pk')
booking = Book.objects.get(id=book_form_id)
return render(request, 'details.html', { 'booking' : booking }
At last urls.py
url(r'^book', 'app.views.Book'),
url(r'^details', 'app.views.details'),
I think this is it, So let me know if you guys(geeks) have any simple solution please let me know.
