Django 3 Web Development Cookbook - Fourth Edition

Composing class-based views

Django views are callables that take requests and return responses. In addition to function-based views, Django provides an alternative way to define views as classes. This approach is useful when you want to create reusable modular views or combine views of the generic mixins. In this recipe, we will convert the previously shown function-based idea_list view into a class-based IdeaListView view.
