> I've seen two methods of implementing class-based views, `__call__`
based and `__init__` based. The attached patch uses the `__call__`
approach. Here's a quick example of an `__init__` based class-view:
Hi mmalone,
This is getting a major re-thing/re-write by Jacob, taking an approach
much more like Model classes, if I remember correctly, the thing was
something like:
{{{
#!python
from django.views.generic import ListView
class MyListView(ListView):
# Base view for views that list objects
queryset = MyModel.objects.all()
paginate_by = 30
# You may override some methods here.
}}}
Then you'd pass the MyListView class to the URL patterns. __init__() would
get URL parameters, while view configuration (what the current code here
passes to __init__() would be on the class definition.
It's much more like Model classes, the only drawback is that you need to
define you view class even for really simple stuff. But complex things get
much nicer ;)
Hope Jacob can push current code sometime soon for everyone to see.
Thanks for commenting!
