In UNIX way, each view should solve single task. This is good idea, but sometimes we need to mix logic of different views on same page. Filter, sort, paginate, or, for example, add comment on product page. In this article I'll show how we can mix such multiple views.
Idea
We can write views as decorators.
Example
Simplified filtration can look like this:
from django.views.generic.list_detail import object_list
def filtered_list(request, filterset_class, queryset, *args, **kwargs):
filterset = filterset_class(request.GET)
queryset = filterset.filter(queryset)
kwargs['extra_context']['filterset'] = filterset
return object_list(request, queryset, *args, **kwargs)This is simple and straightforward, but in order to add some tricky pagination, we have to copy entire view and add more code to it.
Instead, we can create decorator like this:
def filtered(view):
def wrapped(request, filterset_class, queryset, *args, **kwargs):
filterset = filterset_class(request.GET)
queryset = filterset.filter(queryset)
kwargs['extra_context']['filterset'] = filterset
return view(request, queryset, *args, **kwargs)
return wrappedResult
Assuming, that we have similar decorators, sorted и paginated, we can easily combine them:
@filtered
@paginated
def technic_list(*args, **kwargs):
# ...Or even like this, in lisp style:
url(r'^technic/$', filtered(sorted(paginated(object_list))), {
'filterset_class': FilterSet,
# ...
}, name='technic_list'),Subscribe for the news and updates
SQL is a fairly complicated language with a steep learning curve. For a large number of people who make use of SQL, learning to apply it efficiently takes lots of trials and errors.

Welcome all who are reading this article. I was given a task of creating a parser (spider) with the Scrapy library and parsing FTP server with data. The parser had to find lists of files on the server and handle each file separately depending on the requirement to the parser.
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.
