I'm creating a CMS using django-cms and some custom plugins. Everytime I do
this I get sick or writing the same views time and time again.
Quick example, I have a *Project* model that can have one or more *
Categories*, *Tags* and *Clients:*
*
*
class Project(...)
categories = models.ManyToManyField(Category)
tags = models.ManyToManyField(Tag)
clients = models.ManyToManyField(Client)
I want the user to be able to browse my projects by a certain category, or
tag or client. So my urls would be something like:
url(r'^projects/category/(?P<slug>[-w]+)/$', ...
url(r'^projects/partner/(?P<slug>[-w]+)/$', ...
url(r'^projects/client/(?P<slug>[-w]+)/$', ...
allowing me to see all projects for particular relationships, and maybe
url(r'^projects/category/$', ...
url(r'^projects/partner/$', ...
url(r'^projects/client/$', ...
to list all categories, partners and clients.
This seems totally anti-DRY (WET?) to me. I'd like to be able to
dynamically create the query based on what the URL path is, instead of
having to manually link the URL paths to the correct queries via views as
it stands at the moment. So retrieve the correct model based on what path
is supplied - somewhat like a REST API call. Does anyone have any thoughts
on this approach, or Is there anything out there that caters for this?
