My intention wasn't to stop discussion about this feature, just to say that it is unlikely to get into Django until there is a proven way to implement this feature. And by proven I mean there is a 3rd party app that has enough users. It might be that there isn't a single approach to this, and in that case multiple different implementations outside core is the way to go. If there is something common between most implementations, then core/ contrib is the right place for those shared bits. Looking at the discussion history maybe finding those shared bits was all you were trying to do... So, what I want is: - To use self of the view collection class to bind data to templates (that is, one instance per request). - To use self to call shared functionality between views. That is, I want to implement both history_view() and the update_view() in the same class, so that both of them can call shared methods. If I understand this pattern correctly class HistoryView(View): [do something…] class CustomModelViewSet(ModelViewSet): excluded_views = ('create_view', 'update_view', 'delete_view') def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): self.views['history_view'] = { 'view': HistoryView, 'pattern': r'history', 'name': 'history', 'kwargs': { custom view attributes and methods here }, } super(self, CustomViewSet).__init__(*args, **kwargs) here HistoryView and UpdateView can't share functionality? I think we are aiming for different use cases, the viewset pattern seems to be about tying together multiple existing views, while the MultiViews pattern is about creating the views in a single class. - Anssi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
