This is a humble request, for beginners who are relatively new to Django (or GenericView), after reading the official Generic Editing Views <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/class-based-views/generic-editing>, it doesn't mention a word about how to override the get/post/update method, which I believe in real world project, developers need to do that usually, for example:
- When GET a resource, I want to do a counting job to record total hit on this specific resource - When a posted form is invalid, I want to perform some customised works other than just display error message on the client - When POST a resource, I want to invoke my back-end message server do do a async task - When PUT/PATCH a resource, I want to invoke a remote REST API to update a remote resource as well So IMHO it would be better if the official documentation: Generic Editing Views <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/class-based-views/generic-editing> can explain how to achieve that like following: ============================== class CreateView(generic.CreateView): model = MyModel form_class = MyModelForm object = None def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): form_class = self.get_form_class() form = self.get_form(form_class) if form.is_valid(): # Do my customised works return redirect(reverse("my_app:index")) else: return self.form_invalid(form) ============================== I am very open to discussion and listen any different opinions regarding above, if some fellow developers agree with me, I will submit a ticket and pull request as well, thank you!
