Django-vanilla-views Alternatives

django-vanilla-views reviews and mentions

• Django REST framework: 3.15.0 Release (Django 5.0 support)

  I don't think http://django-vanilla-views.org/ ever really caught on, but it does show that ccbv.co.uk shouldn't have to exist. The DRF class tree is small enough to keep in your head once you've spent some time with it.

• Composite Class-Based View for non DRF views

• how to learn CBV?

  now, if you were to say that django's views implementation chart is pretty weird, you would have a an unassailable point. Tom christie made django-vanilla-views as a reaction and continued that structure with DRF's view structure. But it also means that I just needed to learn that once, not 100 different times for NIH-oriented projects :)

• FBV Request Method Handling

  I still don’t like using the generic class-based views. Mixins were never really my coding style. There’s a package for an alternate take on CBVs that use less inheritance named vanilla views.

• Are class based views better then functional views?

  The generic class-based views seem to be where the majority of opinion gets involved. Django implements them in a very modular way via lots of mixins. The multiple inheritance hides a lot of the inner workings that are obvious in function-based views, and do so in order to simplify the exposed interface of writing a class with a handful of attributes and maybe a method override. I avoided them for a long time. Luke Plant wrote a series on FBV vs CBV. There's another class-based view implementation that simplifies the inheritance, published under Django Vanilla Views. There's great discussions to be had here between the different approaches and design choices.
