In my recent project there was a lot of data business logic, so I had to organize this code somehow. In this article I'll describe a few hints on how to it.
Mixins
Simple business logic functions should in models or managers. When there's a lot of them, the can be split in mixins.
# logic.py
class EventLogic(object):
def start(self):
if self.condition():
# ...
# models.py
class Event(models.Model, EventLogic):
name = models.CharField()
# ...Custom exceptions
For business logic errors you should declare custom exception classes. It's not fun to understand what this specific IntegrityError means.
Generic views
When all logic is in model and can throw, say, BusinessLogicException, we can write views like this:
from django.contrib import messages
def event_action(requets, event_id, action):
# event = get_object_or_404(...)
try:
getattr(event, action)(request.user)
except BusinessLogicException, e:
messages.warning(request, e.message)
return redirect(request.POST.get('next') or event)Subscribe for the news and updates
Promise is a powerful tool in asynchronous programming that allows developers to call a time-consuming function and proceed with program execution without waiting for the function result.
Tired of boring programming courses where you're forced to read thick textbooks and write code that's never used? Need a platform that makes learning fun and exciting? Then you're in the right place!
Earlier in our previous article "Improve efficiency of your SELECT queries" we discussed ways to profile and optimize the performance of SELECT queries. However, to write complex yet efficient SQL queries, there is a thing to remember about.
This article is aimed for beginners, who are trying to choose between Ruby on Rails and Django. Let’s see which is fastest and why.
In this article, we will describe some useful scripts and directives we use with angular form validation in our projects.
When we use css-sprites it's important to make browser cache them for longest period possible. On other hand, we need to refresh them when they are updated. This is especially visible when all icons are stored in single sprite. When it's outdated - entire site becomes ugly.
