# Single object mixins

## `SingleObjectMixin`

class `django.views.generic.detail.``SingleObjectMixin`

  Provides a mechanism for looking up an object associated with the current HTTP request.

  Methods and Attributes

  `model`

    The model that this view will display data for. Specifying `model = Foo` is effectively the same as specifying `queryset = Foo.objects.all()`, where `objects` stands for `Foo`’s default manager.

  `queryset`

    A `QuerySet` that represents the objects. If provided, the value of `queryset` supersedes the value provided for `model`.

    경고

    `queryset` is a class attribute with a mutable value so care must be taken when using it directly. Before using it, either call its `all()` method or retrieve it with `get_queryset()` which takes care of the cloning behind the scenes.

  `slug_field`

    The name of the field on the model that contains the slug. By default, `slug_field` is `'slug'`.

  `slug_url_kwarg`

    The name of the URLConf keyword argument that contains the slug. By default, `slug_url_kwarg` is `'slug'`.

  `pk_url_kwarg`

    The name of the URLConf keyword argument that contains the primary key. By default, `pk_url_kwarg` is `'pk'`.

  `context_object_name`

    Designates the name of the variable to use in the context.

  `query_pk_and_slug`

    If `True`, causes `get_object()` to perform its lookup using both the primary key and the slug. Defaults to `False`.

    This attribute can help mitigate insecure direct object reference attacks. When applications allow access to individual objects by a sequential primary key, an attacker could brute-force guess all URLs; thereby obtaining a list of all objects in the application. If users with access to individual objects should be prevented from obtaining this list, setting `query_pk_and_slug` to `True` will help prevent the guessing of URLs as each URL will require two correct, non-sequential arguments. Simply using a unique slug may serve the same purpose, but this scheme allows you to have non-unique slugs.

  `get_object`(queryset=None)

    Returns the single object that this view will display. If `queryset` is provided, that queryset will be used as the source of objects; otherwise, `get_queryset()` will be used. `get_object()` looks for a `pk_url_kwarg` argument in the arguments to the view; if this argument is found, this method performs a primary-key based lookup using that value. If this argument is not found, it looks for a `slug_url_kwarg` argument, and performs a slug lookup using the `slug_field`.

    When `query_pk_and_slug` is `True`, `get_object()` will perform its lookup using both the primary key and the slug.

  `get_queryset`()

    Returns the queryset that will be used to retrieve the object that this view will display. By default, `get_queryset()` returns the value of the `queryset` attribute if it is set, otherwise it constructs a `QuerySet` by calling the `all()` method on the `model` attribute's default manager.

  `get_context_object_name`(obj)

    Return the context variable name that will be used to contain the data that this view is manipulating. If `context_object_name` is not set, the context name will be constructed from the `model_name` of the model that the queryset is composed from. For example, the model `Article` would have context object named `'article'`.

  `get_context_data`(**kwargs)

    Returns context data for displaying the object.

    The base implementation of this method requires that the `self.object` attribute be set by the view (even if `None`). Be sure to do this if you are using this mixin without one of the built-in views that does so.

    It returns a dictionary with these contents:

    - `object`: The object that this view is displaying (`self.object`).
    - `context_object_name`: `self.object` will also be stored under the name returned by `get_context_object_name()`, which defaults to the lowercased version of the model name.

    Context variables override values from template context processors

    Any variables from `get_context_data()` take precedence over context variables from context processors. For example, if your view sets the `model` attribute to `User`, the default context object name of `user` would override the `user` variable from the `django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth()` context processor. Use `get_context_object_name()` to avoid a clash.

  `get_slug_field`()

    Returns the name of a slug field to be used to look up by slug. By default this simply returns the value of `slug_field`.

## `SingleObjectTemplateResponseMixin`

class `django.views.generic.detail.``SingleObjectTemplateResponseMixin`

  A mixin class that performs template-based response rendering for views that operate upon a single object instance. Requires that the view it is mixed with provides `self.object`, the object instance that the view is operating on. `self.object` will usually be, but is not required to be, an instance of a Django model. It may be `None` if the view is in the process of constructing a new instance.

  Extends

  - `TemplateResponseMixin`

  Methods and Attributes

  `template_name_field`

    The field on the current object instance that can be used to determine the name of a candidate template. If either `template_name_field` itself or the value of the `template_name_field` on the current object instance is `None`, the object will not be used for a candidate template name.

  `template_name_suffix`

    The suffix to append to the auto-generated candidate template name. Default suffix is `_detail`.

  `get_template_names`()

    Returns a list of candidate template names. Returns the following list:

    - the value of `template_name` on the view (if provided)
    - the contents of the `template_name_field` field on the object instance that the view is operating upon (if available)
    - `<app_label>/<model_name><template_name_suffix>.html`
