Hi,
I've some rails experience before with several projects and I wonder
how can I accomplish same behavior in django and if it's a good way to
proceed.
When I started using django I create sth like this in my views:
Somemodel.objects.filter(user = request.user)
But I don't like that scheme, I just want to create something similar
to rails like:
"current_user.somemodel.find_by_name('x')"
so that query will automatically know user context.
I noticed that I can extend UserProfile class to sth like this:
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)
def _get_messages(self):
from delivery.models import Messages
return Messages.objects.filter(user=self.user)
messages = property(_get_messages)
del _get_messages
and then use request.user.get_profile().messages to fetch messages
that belongs to currently logged user and that works fine, however
that code already calls filter method.
And now what about custom managers, how then can I call them so they
will be aware of current user context ?
Eg. I've a custom manager with method executing custom sql and I want
add support for user context there, how can I do that ?
Is that a good approach or should I done it using another way ?
