Find a list of overridable functions for view and form classes and their mixins

Using Django Getting Started
1

Hello,
I’ve been using Django for a couple weeks now and I keep struggling with finding the right method to override for the view and form classes and their mixins, and their member variables. Is there a handy dandy sheet or something similar that lists all these with a brief description of each? Would be nice to have a compact list of classes for each module too.

Thanks,
Scott

For the Django-provided Class-Based Views, I recommend the Classy Class-Based View site along with the CBV diagrams page.

Forms are a more complex issue since they’re frequently a composite of fields and widgets along with the forms themselves. Forms themselves are documented at The Forms API | Django documentation | Django. Fields can be found at Form fields | Django documentation | Django.

In general, you’ll find those lists of attributes and methods to be in the doc pages identified as API pages.

Perfect! Thanks Ken, the first site is just what I was looking for! Definitely going to bookmark that page.

Best Regards,
