Django ConfirmationMixin for CreateView and UpdateView

The ConfirmationMixins makes it simply easy to show a confirmation page before actually doing the create/update with the class based view. Django already provides a confirmation page for the DeleteView. This project provides this functionality for the CreateView and the UpdateView.

Install

pip install django-confirmation-mixin

Usage

Just use the ConfirmationMixin as a normal django mixin.

from django.views.generic import UpdateView
from django_confirmation_mixin import UpdateConfirmationMixin


class ExampleUpdateView(UpdateConfirmationMixin, UpdateView):
    model = ExampleModel
    form_class = ExamleModelForm
    success_url = '/thanks/'

The mixin automatically uses the _form suffix for the usual update template and the _confirm_form suffix for the confirmation template. This behavious is derived from the DeleteView.

In this default case for example:

• 'exampleapp/examplemodel_form.html' is the update template
• 'exampleapp/examplemodel_confirm_form.html' is the confirmation template

The suffixes can also be changed by using the template_name_suffix and the confirm_template_suffix.

from django.views.generic import CreateView
from django_confirmation_mixin import CreateConfirmationMixin


class ExampleCreateView(CreateConfirmationMixin, CreateView):
    model = ExampleModel
    form_class = ExamleModelForm
    success_url = '/thanks/'
    template_name_suffix = '_form'  # Set the create template suffix
    confirm_template_suffix = '_confirm_form'  # Set the confirmation template suffix
