==================
Generic date views
==================
Date-based generic views (in the module :mod:`django.views.generic.dates`)
are views for displaying drilldown pages for date-based data.
.. class:: django.views.generic.dates.ArchiveIndexView
A top-level index page showing the "latest" objects, by date. Objects with
a date in the *future* are not included unless you set ``allow_future`` to
``True``.
**Ancestors (MRO)**
* :class:`django.views.generic.dates.ArchiveIndexView`
* :class:`django.views.generic.list.MultipleObjectTemplateResponseMixin`
* :class:`django.views.generic.base.TemplateResponseMixin`
* :class:`django.views.generic.dates.BaseArchiveIndexView`
* :class:`django.views.generic.dates.BaseDateListView`
* :class:`django.views.generic.list.MultipleObjectMixin`
* :class:`django.views.generic.dates.DateMixin`
* :class:`django.views.generic.base.View`
**Notes**
* Uses a default ``context_object_name`` of ``latest``.
* Uses a default ``template_name_suffix`` of ``_archive``.
.. class:: django.views.generic.dates.YearArchiveView
A yearly archive page showing all available months in a given year. Objects
with a date in the *future* are not displayed unless you set
``allow_future`` to ``True``.
**Ancestors (MRO)**
* :class:`django.views.generic.dates.YearArchiveView`
* :class:`django.views.generic.list.MultipleObjectTemplateResponseMixin`
* :class:`django.views.generic.base.TemplateResponseMixin`
* :class:`django.views.generic.dates.BaseYearArchiveView`
* :class:`django.views.generic.dates.YearMixin`
* :class:`django.views.generic.dates.BaseDateListView`
* :class:`django.views.generic.list.MultipleObjectMixin`
* :class:`django.views.generic.dates.DateMixin`
* :class:`django.views.generic.base.View`
.. attribute:: make_object_list
A boolean specifying whether to retrieve the full list of objects for
this year and pass those to the template. If ``True``, the list of
objects will be made available to the context. By default, this is
``False``.
.. method:: get_make_object_list()
Determine if an object list will be returned as part of the context. If
``False``, the ``None`` queryset will be used as the object list.
**Context**
In addition to the context provided by
:class:`django.views.generic.list.MultipleObjectMixin` (via
:class:`django.views.generic.dates.BaseDateListView`), the template's
context will be:
* ``date_list``: A
:meth:`DateQuerySet<django.db.models.query.QuerySet.dates>` object object
containing all months that have objects available according to
``queryset``, represented as
:class:`datetime.datetime<python:datetime.datetime>` objects, in
ascending order.
* ``year``: A :class:`datetime.date<python:datetime.date>` object
representing the given year.
* ``next_year``: A :class:`datetime.date<python:datetime.date>` object
representing the first day of the next year. If the next year is in the
future, this will be ``None``.
* ``previous_year``: A :class:`datetime.date<python:datetime.date>` object
representing the first day of the previous year. Unlike ``next_year``,
this will never be ``None``.
**Notes**
* Uses a default ``template_name_suffix`` of ``_archive_year``.
.. class:: django.views.generic.dates.MonthArchiveView
A monthly archive page showing all objects in a given month. Objects with a
date in the *future* are not displayed unless you set ``allow_future`` to
``True``.
**Ancestors (MRO)**
* :class:`django.views.generic.dates.MonthArchiveView`
* :class:`django.views.generic.list.MultipleObjectTemplateResponseMixin`
* :class:`django.views.generic.base.TemplateResponseMixin`
* :class:`django.views.generic.dates.BaseMonthArchiveView`
* :class:`django.views.generic.dates.YearMixin`
* :class:`django.views.generic.dates.MonthMixin`
* :class:`django.views.generic.dates.BaseDateListView`
* :class:`django.views.generic.list.MultipleObjectMixin`

**Context**
In addition to the context provided by
:class:`~django.views.generic.list.MultipleObjectMixin` (via
:class:`~django.views.generic.dates.BaseDateListView`), the template's

:meth:`DateQuerySet<django.db.models.query.QuerySet.dates>` object
containing all days that have objects available in the given month,
according to ``queryset``, represented as
:class:`datetime.datetime<python:datetime.datetime>` objects, in
ascending order.
* ``month``: A :class:`datetime.date<python:datetime.date>` object
representing the given month.
* ``next_month``: A :class:`datetime.date<python:datetime.date>` object
representing the first day of the next month. If the next month is in the
future, this will be ``None``.
* ``previous_month``: A :class:`datetime.date<python:datetime.date>` object
representing the first day of the previous month. Unlike ``next_month``,
this will never be ``None``.
**Notes**
* Uses a default ``template_name_suffix`` of ``_archive_month``.
.. class:: django.views.generic.dates.WeekArchiveView
