How to Pass Values Between Functions in Django: A Guide to Importing Data in my_func()

When developing applications using Django, it's common to encounter situations where you need to pass data between functions. A common problem developers face is how to import a value from a request function to another function. In this guide, we'll tackle this issue using a practical example.

The Problem Statement

In the following example, we have a Django project structured in a certain way, with a view (stato_patrimoniale) that needs to pass a variable, last_account_year, to a utility function (my_func) located in a different module. Here’s a simplified overview of the code structure:

The function in the views.py file is designed to process data received from the user and needs to send the variable last_account_year to my_func in utility.py.

The Initial Code Structure

Here’s what the initial code looks like:

The challenge is to find a way to modify my_func() so it can accept and work with the last_account_year variable.

The Solution: Pass the Value as a Parameter

The best approach to import the last_account_year into my_func() is to pass it as a parameter. This not only maintains clarity but also enhances the modularity of your code.

Step-by-Step Solution

Modify the Function Call in stato_patrimoniale to include the last_account_year as an argument in my_func.

Update your code in views.py:

Update the Utility Function in utility.py to accept the parameter.

Change the definition of my_func() like this:

Conclusion

By passing last_account_year as a parameter to my_func, you can effectively import and utilize data across different functions within your Django application. This approach keeps your code clean, organized, and easy to manage.
