I have models: Group
and Member
s.
Group
s have many members, but when a Group
is created, currentUser
automatically becomes a Member
.
I'm doing everything in single request and I have problem with getting id createdGroup
.
My models:
class Group(models.Model):
groupName = models.CharField(max_length=100)
description = models.CharField(max_length=255)
inviteKey = models.UUIDField(default=uuid.uuid4,
unique=True,
editable=False)
class Members(models.Model):
userId = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
groupId = models.ForeignKey(Group, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
Form:
class GroupForm(forms.ModelForm):
groupName = forms.CharField(label='Name', max_length=100)
description = forms.CharField(label='Description', max_length=255)
inviteKey: forms.CharField(label='Invite Key')
class Meta:
model = Group
fields = ['groupName', 'description']
View:
def createGroup(request):
if request.method == "POST":
form = GroupForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
currentUser = request.user
print('group id', request.POST.get('id', ''))
#after group creation i would add current member
addMember(currentUser, True, True) # should be currentUser, createdGroup, True
messages.success(request, f'Group created')
return redirect('/')
else:
form = GroupForm()
return render(request, 'group/createGroup.html',{'form': form})
How can I get the newly created Group
's id?
I've tried something like this:
group = request.POST.get('id', '')
When I console.log(request.POST)
I'm getting only (name, description)
CodePudding user response:
try this:
new_group = form.save()
id = new_group.id
the id is created when you save the form triggert by the request... so it can't be in the request!
