在我的模型中我有:
class Alias(MyBaseModel):
remote_image = models.URLField(
max_length=500, null=True,
help_text='''
A URL that is downloaded and cached for the image.
Only used when the alias is made
'''
)
image = models.ImageField(
upload_to='alias', default='alias-default.png',
help_text="An image representing the alias"
)
def save(self, *args, **kw):
if (not self.image or self.image.name == 'alias-default.png') and self.remote_image :
try :
data = utils.fetch(self.remote_image)
image = StringIO.StringIO(data)
image = Image.open(image)
buf = StringIO.StringIO()
image.save(buf, format='PNG')
self.image.save(
hashlib.md5(self.string_id).hexdigest() + ".png", ContentFile(buf.getvalue())
)
except IOError :
pass
这在remote_image第一次改变的时候工作得很好。
当有人修改了别名上的remote_image时，我如何获取一个新的图像?其次，是否有更好的方法来缓存远程映像?
最好的方法是使用pre_save信号。在09年这个问题被提出并回答的时候，可能还没有这个选项，但今天看到这个问题的人应该这样做:
@receiver(pre_save, sender=MyModel)
def do_something_if_changed(sender, instance, **kwargs):
try:
obj = sender.objects.get(pk=instance.pk)
except sender.DoesNotExist:
pass # Object is new, so field hasn't technically changed, but you may want to do something else here.
else:
if not obj.some_field == instance.some_field: # Field has changed
# do something
现在直接回答:检查字段的值是否已经改变的一种方法是在保存实例之前从数据库获取原始数据。想想这个例子:
class MyModel(models.Model):
f1 = models.CharField(max_length=1)
def save(self, *args, **kw):
if self.pk is not None:
orig = MyModel.objects.get(pk=self.pk)
if orig.f1 != self.f1:
print 'f1 changed'
super(MyModel, self).save(*args, **kw)
同样的事情也适用于处理表单。您可以在ModelForm的clean或save方法中检测到它:
class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
def clean(self):
cleaned_data = super(ProjectForm, self).clean()
#if self.has_changed(): # new instance or existing updated (form has data to save)
if self.instance.pk is not None: # new instance only
if self.instance.f1 != cleaned_data['f1']:
print 'f1 changed'
return cleaned_data
class Meta:
model = MyModel
exclude = []
这是Chris Pratt的答案的一个版本，通过使用事务块和select_for_update()来防止竞争条件，同时牺牲性能。
@receiver(pre_save, sender=MyModel)
@transaction.atomic
def do_something_if_changed(sender, instance, **kwargs):
try:
obj = sender.objects.select_for_update().get(pk=instance.pk)
except sender.DoesNotExist:
pass # Object is new, so field hasn't technically changed, but you may want to do something else here.
else:
if not obj.some_field == instance.some_field: # Field has changed
# do something
