Benefits of class-based views
Posted | archive
suppose you have url like this:
/api/<method>
In function based view it's like:
def myview(req, method=''):
if method=='callA':
return ""
elif method=='callB':
return ""
else:
return ""
The problem is you can't enumerate every callA and callB.
But for class based view it's trivial to write more elegant code like:
class myview(ViewRouter):
def callA(req):
return ''
def callB(req):
return ''
def default(req):
return ''
Just want to put up an example of what class-based views are useful in Web development. The powerful object introspection allows you to map URL behaviors to a well defined class.
