使用通用视图后，Django请求处理过程(以ListView为例)：
在我们自定义的视图中：
class IndexView(ListView):
template_name = 'blog/index.html'
context_object_name = 'article_list'
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
kwargs['category_list'] = Category.objects.all()
return super(IndexView, self).get_context_data()
def get_queryset(self):
return Article.objects.filter(status=1)
ListView的定义：
class ListView(MultipleObjectTemplateResponseMixin, BaseListView):
"""
Render some list of objects, set by `self.model` or `self.queryset`.
`self.queryset` can actually be any iterable of items, not just a queryset.
"""
View中as_view方法：
class View(object):
@classonlymethod
def as_view(cls, **initkwargs):
"""
Main entry point for a request-response process.
"""
for key in initkwargs:
if key in cls.http_method_names:
raise TypeError("You tried to pass in the %s method name as a "
"keyword argument to %s(). Don't do that."
% (key, cls.__name__))
if not hasattr(cls, key):
raise TypeError("%s() received an invalid keyword %r. as_view "
"only accepts arguments that are already "
"attributes of the class." % (cls.__name__, key))
def view(request, *args, **kwargs):
self = cls(**initkwargs)
if hasattr(self, 'get') and not hasattr(self, 'head'):
self.head = self.get
self.request = request
self.args = args
self.kwargs = kwargs
return self.dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs)
dispatch方法：
def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
# Try to dispatch to the right method; if a method doesn't exist,
# defer to the error handler. Also defer to the error handler if the
# request method isn't on the approved list.
if request.method.lower() in self.http_method_names:
handler = getattr(self, request.method.lower(), self.http_method_not_allowed)
else:
handler = self.http_method_not_allowed
return handler(request, *args, **kwargs)
dispatch方法中根据http请求的method得到handler的值(get,post...),接着调用handler方法，如果是get请求，则调用的是get方法。get方法定义在BaseListView中：
class BaseListView(MultipleObjectMixin, View):
"""
A base view for displaying a list of objects.
"""
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
self.object_list = self.get_queryset()
allow_empty = self.get_allow_empty()
if not allow_empty:
# When pagination is enabled and object_list is a queryset,
# it's better to do a cheap query than to load the unpaginated
# queryset in memory.
if (self.get_paginate_by(self.object_list) is not None
and hasattr(self.object_list, 'exists')):
is_empty = not self.object_list.exists()
else:
is_empty = len(self.object_list) == 0
if is_empty:
raise Http404(_("Empty list and '%(class_name)s.allow_empty' is False.")
% {'class_name': self.__class__.__name__})
context = self.get_context_data()
return self.render_to_response(context)
get_queryset、get_context_data在父类中的定义：
class MultipleObjectMixin(ContextMixin):
"""
A mixin for views manipulating multiple objects.
"""
allow_empty = True
queryset = None
model = None
paginate_by = None
paginate_orphans = 0
context_object_name = None
paginator_class = Paginator
page_kwarg = 'page'
ordering = None
def get_queryset(self):
"""
Return the list of items for this view.
The return value must be an iterable and may be an instance of
`QuerySet` in which case `QuerySet` specific behavior will be enabled.
"""
if self.queryset is not None:
queryset = self.queryset
if isinstance(queryset, QuerySet):
queryset = queryset.all()
elif self.model is not None:
queryset = self.model._default_manager.all()
else:
raise ImproperlyConfigured(
"%(cls)s is missing a QuerySet. Define "
"%(cls)s.model, %(cls)s.queryset, or override "
"%(cls)s.get_queryset()." % {
'cls': self.__class__.__name__
}
)
ordering = self.get_ordering()
if ordering:
if isinstance(ordering, six.string_types):
ordering = (ordering,)
queryset = queryset.order_by(*ordering)
return queryset
def get_context_object_name(self, object_list):
"""
Get the name of the item to be used in the context.
"""
if self.context_object_name:
return self.context_object_name
elif hasattr(object_list, 'model'):
return '%s_list' % object_list.model._meta.model_name
else:
return None
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
"""
Get the context for this view.
"""
queryset = kwargs.pop('object_list', self.object_list)
page_size = self.get_paginate_by(queryset)
context_object_name = self.get_context_object_name(queryset)
if page_size:
paginator, page, queryset, is_paginated = self.paginate_queryset(queryset, page_size)
context = {
'paginator': paginator,
'page_obj': page,
'is_paginated': is_paginated,
'object_list': queryset
}
else:
context = {
'paginator': None,
'page_obj': None,
'is_paginated': False,
'object_list': queryset
}
if context_object_name is not None:
context[context_object_name] = queryset
context.update(kwargs)
return super(MultipleObjectMixin, self).get_context_data(**context)
当我们自定义的视图函数IndexView中重写get_context_data时，可将需传递到template的数据赋值给kwargs变量，最终数据会加入到context上下文中：
if context_object_name is not None:
context[context_object_name] = queryset
context.update(kwargs)
最后回到BaseListView类的get方法，调用了self.render_to_response(context)进行响应输出。
