Django Unleashed

17.4 Building Generic Object Create Pages

In this section, we transform ObjectCreateMixin into a GCBV.

The ObjectCreateMixin class already provides get() and post() methods, which TagCreate, StartupCreate, and NewslinkCreate all inherit in tandem with View to be full-fledged CBVs. To turn ObjectCreateMixin into it’s own CBV, we can first rename it to CreateView and then make it inherit View, as shown in Example 17.22.

Example 17.22: Project Code

organizer/utils.py in 6b1f610347

7   class CreateView(View):

We must thus inherit the new GCBV in the relevant create views, as shown in Example 17.23.

Example 17.23: Project Code

organizer/views.py in 6b1f610347
