  1. Accelerating Information Technology Innovation http://aiti.mit.edu Ghana Summer 2013 Django Lecture 5 - Models

  2. How Django works localhost:8000/blog/detail/4 Templates urls.py Models Title Views Blog Comment Date Body Give me blog post # 4 and all its comments and put it in the detail template Comment author Comment Comment author Comment

  3. Today: Views and urls.py localhost:8000/blog/detail/4 Templates urls.py Models Title Views Blog Comment Date Body Give me blog post # 4 and all its comments and put it in the detail template Comment author Comment Comment author Comment

  4. Today’s lab: search your blog localhost:8000/search/<term> Template: search.html urls.py Models Views Term: term Matching blog posts: Some blog post Some other blog post Blog Give me blog posts that match the search term and put them in the search.html template

  5. Views • Get data from Model • Choose a template to display • Return template and data

  6. Views: list.html • Get list of all blogs • Put it in the list.html template defblog_list(request): blog_list = Blog.objects.all() t = loader.get_template('blog/list.html') c = Context({'blog_list':blog_list}) return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

  7. Data from Model defblog_list(request): blog_list = Blog.objects.all() t = loader.get_template('blog/list.html') c = Context({'blog_list':blog_list}) return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

  8. Choose template defblog_list(request): blog_list = Blog.objects.all() t = loader.get_template('blog/list.html') c = Context({'blog_list':blog_list}) return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

  9. Name variables to be used in template defblog_list(request): blog_list = Blog.objects.all() t = loader.get_template('blog/list.html') c = Context({'blog_list':blog_list}) return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

  10. Return template with data defblog_list(request): blog_list = Blog.objects.all() t = loader.get_template('blog/list.html') c = Context({'blog_list':blog_list}) return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

  11. Getting data from Models • Always start with Blog.objects • Get all blogs Blog.objects.all() • Get a specific blog Blog.objects.get(id=4)

  12. Filters • Get only specific data • contains: find if a match is contained inside a field • Blog.objects.filter(body__contains='cool') • icontains: case insensitive contains • Blog.objects.filter(author__icontains='smith’)

  13. Filter syntax • Blog.objects.filter(body__contains='cool’) • which field you’re searching (body, title, author) • 2 underscores • filter: contains/icontains • = • text of search term

  14. View to get blogs containing the word AITI defget_blogs_about_AITI(request): blog_list = Blog.objects.filter(body__contains=“AITI”) t = loader.get_template('blog/list.html') c = Context({'blog_list':blog_list}) return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

  15. Ordering • Blog.objects.order_by(‘pub_date’)

  16. Getting data from model • detail.html needs a specific blog, and all comments from that blog • view for detail.html: defblog_detail(request, id): blog = Blog.objects.get(id=id) comments = Comment.objects.filter(post=blog)

  17. Name variables to be used in templates defblog_detail(request, id): blog = Blog.objects.get(id=id) comments = Comment.objects.filter(post=blog) c = Context({'blog':blog, 'comments':comments})

  18. Lab: view for blog_search • Select all blogs containing the search term • Choose template to load it into • Name variables to be used in template defblog_search(request, search_term):

  19. Regular Expression • Patterns that text strings can match BALL BACK BA _ _ TALL BABOON

  20. Regular Expression • Patterns that text strings can match 123 “Any number of digits” 314589203 123abc BABOON

  21. How to define these patterns? • Special characters

  22. Start and end of line • ^ means start of line • $ means end of line hello ^hello$ hello world

  23. Characters • . matches anything! 8 1 . a z

  24. Characters • . matches anything! 812 193 ^ . . . $ a abcd

  25. Characters • \d matches digits 8 1 \d a z

  26. Characters • \w matches letters and numbers 8 A \w a %

  27. BALL BACK BA _ _ TALL BABOON

  28. Repetition • * means zero or more times a a* aaaaaa

  29. Repetition • + means one or more times a a+ aaaaaa

  30. Repetition • ? means exactly 0 or 1 times a a? aaaaaa

  31. Practice: which ones match the regex? a \d+ 1 123

  32. Practice: which ones match the regex? a \d+ 1 123

  33. Practice: which ones match the regex? a 1 .* 123abc

  34. Practice: which ones match the regex? a 1 .* 123abc

  35. | means “or” hello (hello|bye) bye potato

  36. ( ) means grouping hello (hello)+ hellohello hellothere

  37. urls.py • urls.py uses regular expressions to describe urls • All start with localhost:8000/blog/ url(r'^$', 'blog.views.home’)

  38. urls.py • urls.py uses regular expressions to describe urls • All urls start with localhost:8000/blog/ • Format: url(r'regex', ’view’) • Example: url(r'^$', 'blog.views.home’)

  39. urls.py url(r'^$', 'blog.views.home’) url(r'^list/$', 'blog.views.blog_list'), url(r'^(detail|info)/(\d+)$', 'blog.views.blog_detail'), Things in parentheses are passed into the views function!

  40. url(r'^$', 'blog.views.home’) ^$ 1 hello localhost:8000/blog/

  41. url(r'^list/$', 'blog.views.home’) list/ ^list/$ 1 hello localhost:8000/blog/list

  42. url(r'^(detail|info)/(\d+)$', 'blog.views.home’) detail/123 info/1 ^(detail|info)/(\d+)$ detail/ list localhost:8000/blog/detail/123

  43. url(r'^search/(happy)$', 'blog.views.blog_search') search/happy ^search/(happy)$ search/aiti hello localhost:8000/search/happy

  44. url(r'^search/(happy)$', 'blog.views.blog_search') Lab: change this regex to match any search term, not just “happy”

  45. Today’s lab: search your blog localhost:8000/search/<term> Template: search.html urls.py Models Views Term: term Matching blog posts: Some blog post Some other blog post Blog Give me blog posts that match the search term and put them in the search.html template
