Question

I have this code

class PbsObjectUpdate(UpdateView):
    def get_template_names(self):
        model_name = self.model.__name__

I can get the model inside any function by using

self.model.__name__

But how can get that outside the function and just below the class i.e

class PbsObjectUpdate(UpdateView):
      model_name = model.__name__

because i don’t ahve self in that part

Answer 1

You can make a getter:

class PbsObjectUpdate(UpdateView):
    @property
    def model_name(self):
        return self.model.__name__

Now you can use PbsObjectUpdate().model_name
