Displaying the details and content of an expression
Expression detail page
Now let's add an expression detail page that shows the content of a single expression of a work.
Add a new view to your views.py:
from django.views.generic import ListView, DetailView
from .models import Work, Expression
class WorkListView(ListView):
model = Work
class ExpressionDetailView(DetailView):
model = Expression
slug_field = 'frbr_uri'
slug_url_kwarg = 'frbr_uri'Add the new view to your urls.py:
from django.urls import path
from reader.views import *
urlpatterns = [
path('', WorkListView.as_view(), name="home"),
# the FRBR URI starts with a /
path('expression<path:frbr_uri>', ExpressionDetailView.as_view(), name="expression"),
]Now create a template called templates/reader/expression_detail.html. We'll start with just the title and the expression content.
<html>
<head>
<title>{{ expression.title }}</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="{% url 'home' %}">Home</a>
<h1>{{ expression.title }}</h1>
<div>{{ expression.content|safe }}</div>
</body>If you visit an expression detail page, you'll see the title and some ugly content. In the next section we'll add formatting to the content.
