Django-How to do the visit counts?

Question

there is a question that makes me feel annoyed,what i want to do is when i request the detail.html then the views of Post model will add 1 as the visit counts ,how to do it?thanks.

blog/models.py

class Post(models.Model):
   views = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0)

blog/views.py

def detail(request):
    return render(request, 'blog/detail.html')

You could increment the views count this way:

def detail(request, post_id):
    post = Post.objects.get(id=post_id)
    post.views += 1
    post.save()
    return render(request, 'blog/detail.html', context={'post': post})

I assumed that since it is a detail view, you would receive an unique key to identify which post will be rendered (that can be done on urls.py)

post.views +=1 has race condition problem .. you should use `djanfo.models.F` – Eike Rabetian Oct 07 '20 at 19:28
