How do I check for Existence of a Record in GAE
- by VDev
I am trying to create a simple view in Django & GAE, which will check if the user has a profile entity and prints a different message for each case. I have the program below, but somehow GAE always seem to return a object. My program is below
import datetime
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect
from google.appengine.api import users
from google.appengine.ext import db
from models import Profile
import logging
#from accounts.views import profile
# Create your views here.
def login_view(request):
user = users.get_current_user()
profile = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Profile WHERE account = :1",
users.get_current_user())
logging.info(profile)
logging.info(user)
if profile:
return HttpResponse("Congratulations Your profile is already created.")
else:
return HttpResponse("Sorry Your profile is NOT created.")
My model object is Profile defined as follows:
class Profile(db.Model):
first_name = db.StringProperty()
last_name = db.StringProperty()
gender = db.StringProperty(choices=set(["Male", "Female"]))
account = db.UserProperty(required = True)
friends = db.ListProperty(item_type=users.User)
last_login = db.DateTimeProperty(required=True)
Thanks for the help.
