Properties defined on Models are not showing up via GeoJSONLayerView

[askpatrickw]

I have a @property defined on my Model that works fine in django shell, but when I attempt to use it with GeoJSONLayerView it does not come through in the data.

models.py

 @property
    def popupContent(self):
        return '<p>Name: {}</p><p>County: {}</p>'.format(
          self.name,
          self.county)

Works fine in Shell

>>> from wa.models import Water
>>> Water.objects.all()[0].popupContent
'<p>Name: Aberdeen Lake</p><p>County: Grays Harbor</p>'

In urls.py I have specified the property

 url(r'^data/$', GeoJSONLayerView.as_view(
        model=Water, 
        properties=('popupContent')
        ), name='data'),

but in my data its not coming through, only the geometry is. If I specify a field like 'name' in properties then those field values work.

Maybe this Is this a regression of #31

Thanks

@askpatrickw probably you have been solved it, but if it can be useful for someone, it should work passing the list of properties to be rendered, I mean:

 url(r'^data/$', GeoJSONLayerView.as_view(
        model=Water, 
        properties=['popupContent', 'anotherField', ...]
        ), name='data'),

Hi @XaviTorello, I see in your example you use "anotherField" as an additional example. My issue is with Methods that have the @property decorator, not a model field.

Have you tested this with a model method decorated with @property? As in the docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/db/models/#model-method

Yes, I've it working in some projects. Did you have the chance to test it with a recent version?

Something like:

urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    url(r'^data/location$',
        GeoJSONLayerView.as_view(
            model=models.Location,
            properties=['name', 'html']
        ),
        name='location-data',
    ),
    ...
]

models.py

class Location(models.Model):
    ...

    @property
    def html(self):
        return '<h1>{}</h1><p><{}</p>'.format(
            self.name,
            self.description
        )

will return:

{
    "type":"FeatureCollection",
    "features":[
        {
            "type":"Feature",
            "properties":{
                "name":"Coll d'Ordino",
                "html":"<h1>Coll d'Ordino</h1><p><Lorem ipsum...</p>",
                "model":"api.location"
            },
            "id":1,
            "geometry":{
                "type":"Point",
                "coordinates":[
                    1.5722207,
                    42.5549682
                ]
            }
        }
....
  ]
}

I'm not actively using this any longer so I'm going to close this as I won't be able to assist and the original issue was reported 3 years ago.
