How to restructure my Django code? - django

Question

I am new to Django.I want to create app that would enable selected users to login and then upload files that would latter be processed.
models.py
class Profile(models.Model):
username = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
password = models.TextField(max_length=80,blank=True)
company = models.TextField(max_length=80, blank=True)
#receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if created:
Profile.objects.create(user=instance)
#receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def save_user_profile(sender, instance, **kwargs):
instance.profile.save()
class Document(models.Model):
uploaded_by = models.ForeignKey(Profile,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
date_uploaded = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
forms.py
class LoginForm(forms.Form):
username = forms.CharField()
password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput)
company = forms.CharField()
class DocumentForm(forms.Form):
docfile = forms.FileField(label='Select a file')
malex.urls(application urls)
from malex.views import list
from malex.views import login
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^list/$', list, name='list'),
url(r'^login/$', login, name='login'),
]
project/urls
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^newp/', include('malex.urls')),
]
views.py
def login(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = LoginForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
cd = form.cleaned_data
user = authenticate(user=cd['user'],password=cd['password'],company=cd['company'])
if user is not None:
if user is active:
login(request,user)
return HttpResponse('Authenticated successfully')
else:
return HttpResponse('Disabled account')
else:
return HttpResponse('Invalid login')
else:
form=LoginForm()
return render(request,'account/login.html',{'form': form})
def list(request):
# Handle file upload
if request.method == 'POST':
form = DocumentForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
newdoc = Document(docfile=request.FILES['docfile'])
newdoc.save()
# Redirect to the document list after POST
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('list'))
Now the login and upload operations are separated.
How to change my views and urls to have login first and upload latter?
Do I need to use Class based views with decorators?

Answer 1

create a custom login form and view.
use your localhost:8000 address as login template
(app) urlpatterns = [path('',views.loginview,name = 'login')]
(project) urlpatterns = [path('', include('malex.urls')),)]
extend your login template using {% block content %}{% endblock %}
use pass restrictions {% if request.user.is_authenticated %} in template or view to let them access upload section.
