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

It appears that not everyone knows that in python you can create classes dynamically without metaclasses. I'll show an example of how to do it.So we've learned how to use custom QuerySet to chain requests:Article.objects.old().public()Now we need to make it work for related objects:user.articles.old().public()This is done using use_for_related_fields, but it needs a little trick.
