Question:

How to create a to-do list for users, with only incomplete tasks in Django?

Problem

I've been trying to make a to-do list app,

I'm trying to make each user their own to-do list, with only tasks that they didn't complete,

properly getcontextdata doesn't accept the filter function, cause there are no tasks displayed on the template

class TaskList(LoginRequiredMixin, ListView):

model = Task

context_object_name = "tasks"

def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):

context = super(TaskList, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)

context["tasks"] = context["tasks"].filter(user=self.request.user)

context["count"] = context["tasks"].filter(complete=False).count()

return context`

Solution

class TaskList(LoginRequiredMixin, ListView):

model = Task

context_object_name = 'tasks'

def get_queryset(self):

return super().get_queryset().filter(user=self.request.user)

def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):

context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)

context['count'] = self.object_list.filter(complete=False).count()

return context

you might also want to filter on complete=False in get_queryset.
