How to make the inventory decrease by 1 book when I borrow from the library, and increase by 1 when-CodePudding

In the Book model, I made 2 methods to call them in the Borrowing field, but I haven't figured out how exactly to do it. And it is especially not clear how to connect the logic of returning the book. In the Borrowing model, there is only the actual_return_date field, when it is filled in, 1 should be added to the inventory, I think so. I tried to change the create method but it didn't work.

model Book:

from django.db import models


class Book(models.Model):
    COVER_CHOICES = [("HARD", "Hard cover"), ("SOFT", "Soft cover")]
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    authors = models.CharField(max_length=256)
    cover = models.CharField(max_length=15, choices=COVER_CHOICES)
    inventory = models.PositiveIntegerField()
    daily_fee = models.DecimalField(max_digits=7, decimal_places=2)

    class Meta:
        ordering = ["title"]

    def __str__(self):
        return (
            f"'{self.title}' by {self.authors}, "
            f"cover: {self.cover}, "
            f"daily fee: {self.daily_fee}, "
            f"inventory: {self.inventory}"
        )

    def reduce_inventory_book(self):
        self.inventory -= 1
        self.save()

    def increase_inventory_book(self):
        self.inventory  = 1
        self.save()

            "id",
            "borrow_date",
            "expected_return_date",
            "actual_return_date",
            "book",
        )

    def create(self, validated_data):
        borrowing = Borrowing.objects.create(**validated_data)
        borrowing.book.reduce_inventory_book()
        return borrowing

I think that I need to change the credit method for this, but I don’t know how.

CodePudding user response：

You can alter the save method of Borrowing so that when actual_return_date is filled to call the increase_inventory_book method
