django - How to make a detail view with fields that are toggled by the button?

Question

So far my best guess is to make an UpdateView and toggle the editable attribute when user presses the button. Is it a good approach to this problem?

Answer 1

If all you are doing to the objects in question is toggling the value of that one field, I would suggest that there's no need to have an UpdateView. You can just add a simple POST form within your DetailView, including a toggle button, whose 'action' is a URL that toggles the 'editable' field.

In the DetailView definition, add a post() method, to handle the form submissions and actually change the value of the 'editable' field.
