Summary<\/strong>: in this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use the Django DetailView<\/code> class to display an object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tutorial begins where the Django ListView tutorial<\/a> left off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defining a DetailView #<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Django DetailView<\/code> allows you to define a class-based view that displays the details of an object. To use the DetailView<\/code> class, you define a class that inherits from the DetailView<\/code> class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the following defines the TaskDetail<\/code> class-based view that displays the detail of a task of the Todo app<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n

How it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, import the DetailView<\/code> from the django.views<\/code>.generic.detail<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n
from<\/span> django.views.generic.detail import<\/span> DetailView<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
Second, define a TaskDetail<\/code> class that inherits from the DetailView<\/code> class. In the TaskDetail<\/code> class, we define the following attributes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
