Django - Redirect Unauthenticated User trying to access UpdateView to DetailView


This is my last brain cell speaking.
I have a model called Post with title, body, author, logo and pub_date fields.
There is a page in my app that the user can Update/Edit the post. I want the user to be redirected to the Post's Detail page if they tried to access it without being logged in.
The problem is that I can't reference the Post's pk to redirect the user to the related page, If I want to put it simply:
the user trying to access .../2/edit/ will be redirected to .../2/ if they aren't logged in

I Tried using LoginRequiredMixin to block the user but I can't redirect the user to the relative details page.

urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    path('', PostListView.as_view(), name='index'),
    path('<int:pk>/', PostDetailView.as_view(), name='details'),
    path('new/', PostCreateView.as_view(), name='new_post'),
    path('<int:pk>/edit', PostUpdateView.as_view(), name='update_post'),
]

views.py:

class PostUpdateView(LoginRequiredMixin, UpdateView):
    model = Post
    login_url = reverse_lazy('details', args=[self.object.pk,]) 
    form_class = PostUpdateForm
    template_name = "posts/update_post.html"

I also tried:

class PostUpdateView(LoginRequiredMixin, UpdateView):
    def get_login_url(self) -> str:
        super().get_login_url()
        UpdateView.get(self, self.request)
        self.login_url = reverse_lazy('details', args=[self.object.pk,])
    model = Post
    form_class = PostUpdateForm
    template_name = "posts/update_post.html"

But it returns an empty/none value

Is LoginRequiredMixin even the right way to do this?
I know this can easily be achieved without GenericViews/UpdateView just by getting the request and handling it ourselves, But isn't GenericViews supposted to get the job done easier?


Solution

  • class PostUpdateView(LoginRequiredMixin, UpdateView):
        model = Post
        form_class = PostUpdateForm
        template_name = "posts/update_post.html"
        redirect_field_name = None
        def get_login_url(self) -> str:
             object = self.get_object()
             return reverse_lazy('details', args=[object.pk,])
    

    U need return URL
