RedirectActionMixin

RedirectActionMixin

djadmin.actions.base.RedirectActionMixin

Mixin for actions that redirect to a URL.

When combined with RedirectViewActionMixin, creates a Django RedirectView that redirects immediately without displaying content. The redirect URL is determined via the RedirectViewMixin using method dispatch.

The ViewFactory automatically: 1. Sets RedirectView as the base class (via RedirectViewActionMixin) 2. Adds RedirectViewMixin which implements get_redirect_url() dispatch 3. Creates a view that redirects based on action configuration

Redirect URL can be specified via: - redirect_url = 'some/url' (simple static URL) - def get_redirect_url(self, args, *kwargs) (dynamic method)

Examples

Static redirect URL

class StaticRedirectAction(GeneralActionMixin, RedirectViewActionMixin, BaseAction):
    label = 'Go to Dashboard'
    redirect_url = '/dashboard/'

# Dynamic redirect URL using method
class ExternalLinkAction(RecordActionMixin, RedirectViewActionMixin, BaseAction):
    label = 'View External'

    def get_redirect_url(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # self is the VIEW instance, not the action
        pk = self.kwargs.get('pk')
        return f'https://example.com/items/{pk}'

Note: When implementing get_redirect_url(), remember that it will be called with the view as self (not the action). Access view attributes like self.request, self.kwargs, self.action, etc.

Methods

get_redirect_url(self, *args, **kwargs) -> str

Defined in: <class 'djadmin.actions.base.RedirectActionMixin'>

Get URL to redirect to (will be called via RedirectViewMixin dispatch).

This method is called by RedirectViewMixin with the view instance as self.

The view instance (self) has: - self.action: The action instance - self.request: The current request - self.kwargs: URL kwargs (e.g., {'pk': 1}) - self.args: URL args - self.model: The model class - self.model_admin: The ModelAdmin instance - self.admin_site: The AdminSite instance

Args: args: URL args from Django's RedirectView *kwargs: URL kwargs from Django's RedirectView

Returns: URL string (absolute or relative)

Raises: NotImplementedError: If not overridden and no redirect_url attribute set
