pass data from one view to another django - html

Question

I have two views in my app
Views.py
def selectwarehouse(request):
z = Warehouse.objects.all()
return render(request, 'packsapp/employee/selectwarehouse.html', {'z': z})
def warehouse_details(request):
queryset = AllotmentDocket.objects.filter(send_from_warehouse = #dynamic(from the selectwarehouse.html))
return render(request, 'packsapp/employee/allotwarehousedetails.html', {'query': queryset})
selectwarehouse.html
{% block content %}
<label>Select Warehouse<label>
<select id="the-id">
{% for i in z %}
<option value="{{ i }}">{{ i }}</option>
{% endfor %}
<form method="post" novalidate>
{% csrf_token %}
Proceed
Nevermind
</form>
</select>
{% endblock %}
URLS.py
path('select-warehouse/', selectwarehouse, name='select_warehouse'),
path('warehouse-details/', warehouse_details, name='warehouse_details'),
I want that when a person selects the "Warehouse" from the dropdown and clicks on Proceed, it should pass that value to def warehouse_details and pass the value to Allotment queryset. How Can I do that ?

Answer 1

MAKE Proceed as a hidden input
Template
{% block content %}
<label>Select Warehouse<label>
<select id="the-id">
{% for i in z %}
<option value="{{ i }}">{{ i }}</option>
<form method="post" novalidate>
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="hidden" name="object_id" value="{{ i.id }}">
<input class="btn btn-outline-secondary" name="Proceed" type="submit"
value="Proceed">
<a href="{% url 'employee:products_table' %}" class="btn btn-outline-
secondary" role="button">Nevermind</a>
</form>
{% endfor %}
</select>
{% endblock %}
views.py
def selectwarehouse(request):
z = Warehouse.objects.all()
return render(request, 'packsapp/employee/selectwarehouse.html', {'z': z})
def warehouse_details(request):
queryset = AllotmentDocket.objects.get(id=request.POST.get('object_id'))
//Now to access the element in queryset write (queryset.'attribute name')
return render(request, 'packsapp/employee/allotwarehousedetails.html', {'query':
queryset}
Check if this works
Try printing the queryset and see what is the output.
