8 a] For students enrolment create a generic class view which displays list of students and detail view that displays student details for any selected student in the list.
To create a generic class-based view in Django that handles student enrollment, we’ll create two views:
StudentListView: Displays a list of all students.StudentDetailView: Displays the details of a selected student.
Step 1: Define the Model
First, ensure that you have a Student model defined in your models.py file. Here’s a basic example:
# models.py
from django.db import models
class Student(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
enrollment_number = models.CharField(max_length=20, unique=True)
date_of_birth = models.DateField()
email = models.EmailField(unique=True)
enrolled_date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
def __str__(self):
return f"{self.first_name} {self.last_name}"
def get_absolute_url(self):
from django.urls import reverse
return reverse('student_detail', kwargs={'pk': self.pk})Step 2: Create the Views
Next, create the generic views in your views.py file:
# views.py
from django.views.generic import ListView, DetailView
from .models import Student
class StudentListView(ListView):
model = Student
template_name = "student_list.html"
context_object_name = "students"
class StudentDetailView(DetailView):
model = Student
template_name = "student_detail.html"
context_object_name = "student"Step 3: Define the URLs
Add the URLs for the list and detail views in your urls.py file:
# urls.py
from django.urls import path
from .views import StudentListView, StudentDetailView
urlpatterns = [
path('students/', StudentListView.as_view(), name='student_list'),
path('students/<int:pk>/', StudentDetailView.as_view(), name='student_detail'),
]Step 4: Create the Templates
Create the templates to display the list of students and the details of a selected student.
a. Template for Student List (student_list.html)
<!-- student_list.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Student List</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Student List</h1>
<ul>
{% for student in students %}
<li>
<a href="{% url 'student_detail' student.pk %}">
{{ student.first_name }} {{ student.last_name }} ({{ student.enrollment_number }})
</a>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</body>
</html>b. Template for Student Detail (student_detail.html)
<!-- student_detail.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Student Detail</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>{{ student.first_name }} {{ student.last_name }}</h1>
<p><strong>Enrollment Number:</strong> {{ student.enrollment_number }}</p>
<p><strong>Date of Birth:</strong> {{ student.date_of_birth }}</p>
<p><strong>Email:</strong> {{ student.email }}</p>
<p><strong>Enrolled Date:</strong> {{ student.enrolled_date }}</p>
<a href="{% url 'student_list' %}">Back to Student List</a>
</body>
</html>Step 5: Run the Server
Finally, make sure everything is set up correctly:
- Run migrations if you haven’t done so already:
python manage.py makemigrations python manage.py migrate
- Start the Django development server:
python manage.py runserver
