| ryan | technology | From [Classy Class Based Views](http://ccbv.co.uk/projects/Django/2.2/django.views.generic.dates/ArchiveIndexView/) `ArchiveIndexView` > > Top-level archive of date-based items. ## Attributes There are 20 attributes that can be set for the `ArchiveIndexView` but most of them are based on ancestral Classes of the CBV so we won’t be going into them in Detail. ### DateMixin Attributes * allow_future: Defaults to False. If set to True you can show items that have dates that are in the future where the future is anything after the current date/time on the server. * date_field: the field that the view will use to filter the date on. If this is not set an error will be generated * uses_datetime_field: Convert a date into a datetime when the date field is a DateTimeField. When time zone support is enabled, `date` is assumed to be in the current time zone, so that displayed items are consistent with the URL. ### BaseDateListView Attributes * allow_empty: Defaults to `False`. This means that if there is no data a `404` error will be returned with the message > > `No __str__ Available` where ‘`__str__`’ is the display of your model * date_list_period: This attribute allows you to break down by a specific period of time (years, months, days, etc.) and group your date driven items by the period specified. See below for implementation For `year` views.py date_list_period='year' urls.py Nothing special needs to be done \<file_name_>.html {% block content %} <div> {% for date in date_list %} {{ date.year }} <ul> {% for p in person %} {% if date.year == p.post_date.year %} <li>{{ p.post_date }}: {{ p.first_name }} {{ p.last_name }}</li> {% endif %} {% endfor %} </ul> {% endfor %} </div> {% endblock %} Will render:  For `month` views.py date_list_period='month' urls.py Nothing special needs to be done \<file_name_>.html {% block content %} <div> {% for date in date_list %} {{ date.month }} <ul> {% for p in person %} {% if date.month == p.post_date.month %} <li>{{ p.post_date }}: {{ p.first_name }} {{ p.last_name }}</li> {% endif %} {% endfor %} </ul> {% endfor %} </div> {% endblock %} Will render:  ### BaseArchiveIndexView Attributes * context_object_name: Name the object used in the template. As stated before, you’re going to want to do this so you don’t hate yourself (or have other developers hate you). ## Other Attributes ### MultipleObjectMixin Attributes These attributes were all reviewed in the [ListView](/cbv-listview.html) post * model = None * ordering = None * page_kwarg = 'page' * paginate_by = None * paginate_orphans = 0 * paginator_class = \<class 'django.core.paginator.Paginator'> * queryset = None ### TemplateResponseMixin Attributes This attribute was reviewed in the [ListView](/cbv-listview.html) post * content_type = None ### ContextMixin Attributes This attribute was reviewed in the [ListView](/cbv-listview.html) post * extra_context = None ### View Attributes This attribute was reviewed in the [View](/cbv-view.html) post * http_method_names = ['get', 'post', 'put', 'patch', 'delete', 'head', 'options', 'trace'] ### TemplateResponseMixin Attributes These attributes were all reviewed in the [ListView](/cbv-listview.html) post * response_class = \<class 'django.template.response.TemplateResponse'> * template_engine = None * template_name = None ## Diagram A visual representation of how `ArchiveIndexView` is derived can be seen here:  ## Conclusion With date driven data (articles, blogs, etc.) The `ArchiveIndexView` is a great CBV and super easy to implement. | 2019-11-24 | cbv-archiveindexview | From [Classy Class Based Views](http://ccbv.co.uk/projects/Django/2.2/django.views.generic.dates/ArchiveIndexView/) `ArchiveIndexView` > > Top-level archive of date-based items. ## Attributes There are 20 attributes that can be set for the `ArchiveIndexView` but most of them are based on ancestral Classes of the CBV so we won’t be going into them in Detail. ### DateMixin Attributes * allow_future: Defaults to … | CBV - ArchiveIndexView | https://www.ryancheley.com/2019/11/24/cbv-archiveindexview/ |
