I would like to list out the comments on my Post Detail page and wanted to see how I can connect a view to the specific comments for a given post?
Models.py
class Post(models.Model):
owner = models.ForeignKey(
Profile, null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
body = models.TextField()
Post_image = models.ImageField(
null=True, blank=True, default='default.jpeg')
create_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.title
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('post', kwargs={'pk': self.pk})
class Meta:
ordering = ['-create_date']
class Comment(models.Model):
owner = models.ForeignKey(Profile, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True)
post = models.ForeignKey(Post, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
text = models.TextField()
create_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
Views.py
class PostDetailView(DetailView):
model = Post
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['comment_list'] = Post.comment_set.all()
return context
You can access the detail object of the DetailView with self.object:
class PostDetailView(DetailView):
model = Post
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['comment_list'] = self.object.comment_set.order_by('create_date')
return context
