Django generics view 以及看源码为什么这么重要

摘要：代码讲解先贴一波源码，的有很多，就讲下最常见的。这是里面的东东这是里面的东东首先是为什么不需要写判断，而在子类里面定义即可，可以看到是下面的方法做了通用的处理。

我们知道，得益于python的语言特性，python的源码是直接可以看的到的，而django是一种大而全的东东，虽然django的文档看似全面，但实际上有些模块写的确实不怎么样，而且平时遇到的需求也是多变的，有的时候你需要实现某种诡异的功能，当然我们可以用google或者做github的搬运工，但是有的时候框架已经给你做了很多事情，你只需要在多做那么一丢丢就能实现某种需求，这个时候看代码比去扒github是快的多的。

这玩意儿通常你百度或者google的时候，大部分时间会跟你讲这是Class-based views。

第一次接触的时候，我觉得他牛逼的地方在于只要在子类里面定义get post方法，就不需要写类似这种东西了

    if request.method.lower() == "get":
        do_something()
    else:
        do_otherthing()

其实与普通的method view不同的是，他的父类定义了一堆有用的方法，当你知道这些的时候你可以少些超多的代码来做一些屌屌的事情。

防止文件被删除，贴几段过来

class BaseMixin(object):
    
    def get_context_data(self,*args,**kwargs):
        context = super(BaseMixin,self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        try:
            #热门文章
            context["hot_article_list"] = Article.objects.order_by("-view_times")[0:10]
            #导航条
            context["nav_list"] =  Nav.objects.filter(status=0)
            #最新评论
            context["latest_comment_list"] = Comment.objects.order_by("-create_time")[0:10]

        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(u"[BaseMixin]加载基本信息出错")

        return context


class IndexView(BaseMixin,ListView):
    template_name = "blog/index.html"
    context_object_name = "article_list"
    paginate_by = PAGE_NUM #分页--每页的数目
    
    def get_context_data(self,**kwargs):
        #轮播
        kwargs["carousel_page_list"] = Carousel.objects.all()
        return super(IndexView,self).get_context_data(**kwargs)

    def get_queryset(self):
        article_list = Article.objects.filter(status=0)
        return article_list

这是项目原来的地址

如果你之前只写过method的view，你可能会觉得很诡异，为毛这段代码定义了几个属性，重写了几个方法就实现了我之前写的那么一大坨长长的代码？这种时候就必须看源码了，比文档来的直观。

OK先贴一波源码，django的generic view有很多，就讲下最常见的list。

这是 base.py里面的东东

    dispatch-by-method and simple sanity checking.

        context = self.get_context_data(object_list=self.object_list)
        return self.render_to_response(context)

首先是为什么不需要写if else判断，而在子类里面定义get post即可，可以看到是下面的dispatch方法做了通用的处理。

    def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        # Try to dispatch to the right method; if a method doesn"t exist,
        # defer to the error handler. Also defer to the error handler if the
        # request method isn"t on the approved list.
        if request.method.lower() in self.http_method_names:
            handler = getattr(self, request.method.lower(), self.http_method_not_allowed)
        else:
            handler = self.http_method_not_allowed
        self.request = request
        self.args = args
        self.kwargs = kwargs
        return handler(request, *args, **kwargs)

而通用的listview实际上就是一个父类实现了get方法，其中的MultipleObjectMixin实现了超多的方法供你重写，基本上大部分时间我们重写MultipleObjectMixin里面的对应方法以及设置合适的属性就可以完成大部分的业务逻辑。

BaseListView首先通过 self.get_queryset() 方法拿到了你需要list的对象，中间一坨是分页的东东，下面的context则是最后需要render_to_response时传的参数，这样看就跟以前自己通过method view写的东西一一对应了。而我们只需要根据不同的业务逻辑实现里面的覆盖实现里面的方法即可，有些连覆盖都不需要是要在设置合适的属性，到这里我就不需要根据具体的方法具体讲解了，大家自己看。

class BaseListView(MultipleObjectMixin, View):
    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        self.object_list = self.get_queryset()
        allow_empty = self.get_allow_empty()
        if not allow_empty and len(self.object_list) == 0:
            raise Http404(_(u"Empty list and "%(class_name)s.allow_empty" is False.")
                          % {"class_name": self.__class__.__name__})
        context = self.get_context_data(object_list=self.object_list)
        return self.render_to_response(context)

上面仅仅是如何使用django默认的各种generic view，但是有时候默认的机制并不能实现你的需求，例如现在在移动端的大潮下，html配饰移动端一般有两种方案：1.响应式；2.两套页面完全分开。两种方案各有利弊，如果我们需要根据根据user agent来做不同终端的页面渲染，甚至是不同的逻辑（web和移动端逻辑不同这很正常），这种时候很容易想到重写dispatch方法，来做到一种通用的处理方式。
