Returning a filter result in a different page - Django

Question

I've searched up but nothing seams to do the trick or be on point.

Let's say i have two websites on page A.html I have a filter (djnago_filter) and B.html is empty. If the user submits the search form he is redirected from page A.html to page B.html where the results are displayed with for loop.

How do I to that?

I was thinking about passing the data from query set to another view but there must be better solution to this.

Answer 1

There are several ways to store and display information on the different views(pages):

1. You could use the Sessions:

    #views.py

    #set the session key in the view A:
    request.session['info'] = {'key', 'value'}
    
    #get the session key in the view B:
    info = request.session['info']
    del request.session['info']

2. You could use Models with JSONField:

    #app/models.py

    #model to store information from page A
    from django.contrib.auth.models import User
    class MyModel(models.Model):
        user = models.ForeignKey(User,
            on_delete=models.DELETE,
            related_name="info")
        info = models.JSONField()

    #views.py
    #store data in the view A:
    from app.models import MyModel
    MyModel.objects.create(user=request.user, info={'key', 'value'})
    
    #retrieve data in the view B:
    info = MyModel.objects.get(user=request.user)

But actually, all depends on the logic that you intent to achieve. There are actually other methods like using async Ajax, React, WebSockets...
