# Date-based mixins

Nota

All the date formatting attributes in these mixins use `strftime()` format characters. Do not try to use the format characters from the `now` template tag as they are not compatible.

## `YearMixin`

class YearMixin

  A mixin that can be used to retrieve and provide parsing information for a year component of a date.

  Methods and Attributes

  year_format

    The `strftime()` format to use when parsing the year. By default, this is `'%Y'`.

  year

    Optional The value for the year, as a string. By default, set to `None`, which means the year will be determined using other means.

  get_year_format()

    Returns the `strftime()` format to use when parsing the year. Returns `year_format` by default.

  get_year()

    Returns the year for which this view will display data, as a string. Tries the following sources, in order:

    - The value of the `YearMixin.year` attribute.

    - The value of the `year` argument captured in the URL pattern.

    - The value of the `year` `GET` query argument.

    Raises a 404 if no valid year specification can be found.

  get_next_year(date)

    Returns a date object containing the first day of the year after the date provided. This function can also return `None` or raise an `Http404` exception, depending on the values of `allow_empty` and `allow_future`.

  get_previous_year(date)

    Returns a date object containing the first day of the year before the date provided. This function can also return `None` or raise an `Http404` exception, depending on the values of `allow_empty` and `allow_future`.

## `MonthMixin`

class MonthMixin

  A mixin that can be used to retrieve and provide parsing information for a month component of a date.

  Methods and Attributes

  month_format

    The `strftime()` format to use when parsing the month. By default, this is `'%b'`.

  month

    Optional The value for the month, as a string. By default, set to `None`, which means the month will be determined using other means.

  get_month_format()

    Returns the `strftime()` format to use when parsing the month. Returns `month_format` by default.

  Methods and Attributes

  day_format

    The `strftime()` format to use when parsing the day. By default, this is `'%d'`.

  day

    Optional The value for the day, as a string. By default, set to `None`, which means the day will be determined using other means.

  get_day_format()

## `WeekMixin`

class WeekMixin

  A mixin that can be used to retrieve and provide parsing information for a week component of a date.

  Methods and Attributes

  week_format

    The `strftime()` format to use when parsing the week. By default, this is `'%U'`, which means the week starts on Sunday. Set it to `'%W'` or `'%V'` (ISO 8601 week) if your week starts on Monday.

  week

    Optional The value for the week, as a string. By default, set to `None`, which means the week will be determined using other means.

  get_week_format()

    Returns the `strftime()` format to use when parsing the week. Returns `week_format` by default.

  get_week()

    Returns the week for which this view will display data, as a string. Tries the following sources, in order:

    - The value of the `WeekMixin.week` attribute.

    - The value of the `week` argument captured in the URL pattern

    - The value of the `week` `GET` query argument.

## `DateMixin`

class DateMixin

  A mixin class providing common behavior for all date-based views.

  Methods and Attributes

  date_field

    The name of the `DateField` or `DateTimeField` in the `QuerySet`’s model that the date-based archive should use to determine the list of objects to display on the page.

    When time zone support is enabled and `date_field` is a `DateTimeField`, dates are assumed to be in the current time zone. Otherwise, the queryset could include objects from the previous or the next day in the end user’s time zone.

    Advertencia

    In this situation, if you have implemented per-user time zone selection, the same URL may show a different set of objects, depending on the end user’s time zone. To avoid this, you should use a `DateField` as the `date_field` attribute.

  allow_future

    A boolean specifying whether to include «future» objects on this page, where «future» means objects in which the field specified in `date_field` is greater than the current date/time. By default, this is `False`.

  get_date_field()

    Returns the name of the field that contains the date data that this view will operate on. Returns `date_field` by default.

  get_allow_future()

    Determine whether to include «future» objects on this page, where «future» means objects in which the field specified in `date_field` is greater than the current date/time. Returns `allow_future` by default.

## `BaseDateListView`

class BaseDateListView

  A base class that provides common behavior for all date-based views. There won’t normally be a reason to instantiate `BaseDateListView`; instantiate one of the subclasses instead.

  While this view (and its subclasses) are executing, `self.object_list` will contain the list of objects that the view is operating upon, and `self.date_list` will contain the list of dates for which data is available.

  Mixins

  - `DateMixin`

  - `MultipleObjectMixin`

  Methods and Attributes

  allow_empty

    A boolean specifying whether to display the page if no objects are available. If this is `True` and no objects are available, the view will display an empty page instead of raising a 404.

    This is identical to `django.views.generic.list.MultipleObjectMixin.allow_empty`, except for the default value, which is `False`.

  date_list_period

    Optional A string defining the aggregation period for `date_list`. It must be one of `'year'` (default), `'month'`, or `'day'`.

  get_dated_items()

    Returns a 3-tuple containing (`date_list`, `object_list`, `extra_context`).

    `date_list` is the list of dates for which data is available. `object_list` is the list of objects. `extra_context` is a dictionary of context data that will be added to any context data provided by the `MultipleObjectMixin`.

  get_dated_queryset(**lookup)

    Returns a queryset, filtered using the query arguments defined by `lookup`. Enforces any restrictions on the queryset, such as `allow_empty` and `allow_future`.

  get_date_list_period()

    Returns the aggregation period for `date_list`. Returns `date_list_period` by default.

  get_date_list(queryset, date_type=None, ordering='ASC')

    Returns the list of dates of type `date_type` for which `queryset` contains entries. For example, `get_date_list(qs, 'year')` will return the list of years for which `qs` has entries. If `date_type` isn’t provided, the result of `get_date_list_period()` is used. `date_type` and `ordering` are passed to `QuerySet.dates()`.
