Splitting a django model using property and setters












0















In trying to split a model in an already working application, I used property and setters to prevent making potentially hundreds of updates within the code base.



Model setup:



class A(models.Model):
name = models.CharField()
type = models.CharField()
spec = models.SmallIntergerField()

@property
def salary(self):
self.b.salary

@salary.setter
def salary(self, value):
self.b.salary = value
self.b.save()

class B(models.Model):
a = models.OneToOneField(A)
salary = model.IntergerField()
height = model.IntergerField()


Model usage



model_a = A(salary=129980, height=6.00, type="several types")
model_a.save()


Again I"m using property and setters to avoid changing queries in old migration files and several other places where the query occur in the code.




Question:




  1. Does using property / setters in this way trigger inadvertently lot of queries when model A properties are called? i.e. are there cons to this?


  2. Is there a better way this could be done?





Using:
Django 1.11
