A QuerySet of Book objects with price >= 20.00

What is wrong with this Django view function?

from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render

def my_view(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        name = request.POST['username']
        return HttpResponse(f"Hello {name}")
    return render(request, 'form.html')

Missing csrf_exempt decorator

Should use request.POST.get() to avoid KeyError

HttpResponse should not be used with render

The function name should start with uppercase

26 / 30

What does this Django template code display?

<!-- template.html -->
{% for item in items %}
    {% if forloop.counter0|divisibleby:2 %}
        <div class="even">{{ item.name }}</div>
    {% else %}
        <div class="odd">{{ item.name }}</div>
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Items with even indices get "even" class, odd indices get "odd" class

Items with odd indices get "even" class, even indices get "odd" class

All items get "even" class

All items get "odd" class

27 / 30

What is the issue with this Django model definition?

class User(models.Model):
    username = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    email = models.EmailField()
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    
    def save(self):
        self.username = self.username.lower()
        super().save()

EmailField doesn't exist in Django

auto_now_add should be auto_now

Missing *args, **kwargs in save method

created_at should be auto_now instead of auto_now_add

28 / 30

What will happen when this Django form is submitted?

# forms.py
from django import forms

class ContactForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
    email = forms.EmailField()
    message = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)

# views.py
def contact_view(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = ContactForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            name = form.cleaned_data['name']
            return HttpResponse("Thank you!")
    else:
        form = ContactForm()
    return render(request, 'contact.html', {'form': form})

Form data will be automatically saved to database

Form validation will occur and cleaned data will be accessible

An error will occur because no model is specified

The form will not display properly

29 / 30

What is the result of this Django queryset chain?

# models.py
class Product(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    category = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    in_stock = models.BooleanField(default=True)

# Query
result = Product.objects.filter(
    in_stock=True
).filter(
    price__lt=100
).exclude(
    category='electronics'
).order_by('-price')

Products in stock, under $100, not electronics, ordered by price ascending

Products in stock, under $100, not electronics, ordered by price descending

Products in stock, over $100, not electronics, ordered by price descending

An error because multiple filters cannot be chained

30 / 30

What's wrong with this Django URL configuration?

# urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('product/', views.product_list, name='products'),
    path('product/<int:id>/', views.product_detail, name='product_detail'),
    path('product/<str:category>/', views.product_category, name='category'),
    path('product/new/', views.create_product, name='new_product'),
]

Missing app_name variable

The 'product/new/' pattern will never be matched

String parameters should use slug:category instead

View functions should be imported differently
