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?


当前回答

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

其他回答

从Django 1.8开始,就有了from_db方法,Serge提到过。事实上,Django文档中包含了这样一个特定的用例:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/instances/#customizing-model-loading

下面是一个示例,展示如何记录从数据库加载的字段的初始值

我使用以下mixin:

from django.forms.models import model_to_dict


class ModelDiffMixin(object):
    """
    A model mixin that tracks model fields' values and provide some useful api
    to know what fields have been changed.
    """

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(ModelDiffMixin, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.__initial = self._dict

    @property
    def diff(self):
        d1 = self.__initial
        d2 = self._dict
        diffs = [(k, (v, d2[k])) for k, v in d1.items() if v != d2[k]]
        return dict(diffs)

    @property
    def has_changed(self):
        return bool(self.diff)

    @property
    def changed_fields(self):
        return self.diff.keys()

    def get_field_diff(self, field_name):
        """
        Returns a diff for field if it's changed and None otherwise.
        """
        return self.diff.get(field_name, None)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        """
        Saves model and set initial state.
        """
        super(ModelDiffMixin, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
        self.__initial = self._dict

    @property
    def _dict(self):
        return model_to_dict(self, fields=[field.name for field in
                             self._meta.fields])

用法:

>>> p = Place()
>>> p.has_changed
False
>>> p.changed_fields
[]
>>> p.rank = 42
>>> p.has_changed
True
>>> p.changed_fields
['rank']
>>> p.diff
{'rank': (0, 42)}
>>> p.categories = [1, 3, 5]
>>> p.diff
{'categories': (None, [1, 3, 5]), 'rank': (0, 42)}
>>> p.get_field_diff('categories')
(None, [1, 3, 5])
>>> p.get_field_diff('rank')
(0, 42)
>>>

Note

请注意,此解决方案仅在当前请求的上下文中工作良好。因此,它主要适用于简单的情况。在并发环境中,多个请求可以同时操作同一个模型实例,您肯定需要一种不同的方法。

有一个属性__dict__,它将所有字段作为键,并将值作为字段值。所以我们可以比较其中两个

只需将模型的save函数更改为下面的函数即可

def save(self, force_insert=False, force_update=False, using=None, update_fields=None):
    if self.pk is not None:
        initial = A.objects.get(pk=self.pk)
        initial_json, final_json = initial.__dict__.copy(), self.__dict__.copy()
        initial_json.pop('_state'), final_json.pop('_state')
        only_changed_fields = {k: {'final_value': final_json[k], 'initial_value': initial_json[k]} for k in initial_json if final_json[k] != initial_json[k]}
        print(only_changed_fields)
    super(A, self).save(force_insert=False, force_update=False, using=None, update_fields=None)

使用示例:

class A(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)
    senior = models.CharField(choices=choices, max_length=3)
    timestamp = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True)

    def save(self, force_insert=False, force_update=False, using=None, update_fields=None):
        if self.pk is not None:
            initial = A.objects.get(pk=self.pk)
            initial_json, final_json = initial.__dict__.copy(), self.__dict__.copy()
            initial_json.pop('_state'), final_json.pop('_state')
            only_changed_fields = {k: {'final_value': final_json[k], 'initial_value': initial_json[k]} for k in initial_json if final_json[k] != initial_json[k]}
            print(only_changed_fields)
        super(A, self).save(force_insert=False, force_update=False, using=None, update_fields=None)

产生只包含已更改字段的输出

{'name': {'initial_value': '1234515', 'final_value': 'nim'}, 'senior': {'initial_value': 'no', 'final_value': 'yes'}}

用David Cramer的解决方案怎么样:

http://cramer.io/2010/12/06/tracking-changes-to-fields-in-django/

我曾经这样成功地使用过:

@track_data('name')
class Mode(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=5)
    mode = models.CharField(max_length=5)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        if self.has_changed('name'):
            print 'name changed'

    # OR #

    @classmethod
    def post_save(cls, sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
        if instance.has_changed('name'):
            print "Hooray!"

另一个迟来的答案,但如果你只是想看看一个新文件是否已经上传到一个文件字段,试试这个:(改编自Christopher Adams对链接http://zmsmith.com/2010/05/django-check-if-a-field-has-changed/的评论在zach的评论这里)

def save(self, *args, **kw):
    from django.core.files.uploadedfile import UploadedFile
    if hasattr(self.image, 'file') and isinstance(self.image.file, UploadedFile) :
        # Handle FileFields as special cases, because the uploaded filename could be
        # the same as the filename that's already there even though there may
