- \n
- Develop a user-friendly interface for managing vehicle records.<\/li>\n
- Implement functionality for adding, updating, and deleting vehicle information.<\/li>\n
- Ensure accurate and secure handling of vehicle data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Project Setup<\/h3>\n

Technology Stack<\/h4>\n
- \n
- Python<\/li>\n
- Django<\/li>\n
- SQLite (default database)<\/li>\n
- HTML\/CSS<\/li>\n
- Bootstrap<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Prerequisites for Django Vehicle Identification System<\/h4>\n
- \n
- Basic understanding of Python programming.<\/li>\n
- Familiarity with the Django framework.<\/li>\n
- Knowledge of HTML\/CSS for template design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Download the Python Django Vehicle Identification System Project<\/h3>\n
Please download the source code of the Python\u00a0Django Vehicle Identification System Project: Python Django Vehicle Identification System Project Code.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
Step-by-Step Code Implementation of the Django Vehicle Identification System<\/h3>\n
1. Project Initialization<\/h4>\n
- \n
- The first command initializes a new Django project named vehicle_identification_system.<\/strong><\/li>\n
- The second command changes the directory to the project folder.<\/li>\n
- The third command initializes a new Django app named vehicles<\/strong> in the same directory. It sets up the basic structure for the project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
django-admin startproject vehicle_identification_system\r\ncd vehicle_identification_system\r\npython manage.py startapp vehicles\r\n<\/pre>\n
2. Setting Up Models<\/h4>\n
- \n
- The vehicle<\/strong> model extends the models\u00a0to define vehicle attributes in a database.<\/li>\n
- It includes plate_number, make, model, year, color, and owner_name to store information about each vehicle.<\/li>\n
- The __str__<\/strong> method provides a readable string format for the vehicle, showing its make, model, and plate number.<\/li>\n
- The plate_number<\/strong> field is unique, ensuring no two vehicles can have the same license plate in the database.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
from django.db import models\r\n\r\n\r\nclass Vehicle(models.Model):\r\n plate_number = models.CharField(max_length=20, unique=True)\r\n make = models.CharField(max_length=50)\r\n model = models.CharField(max_length=50)\r\n year = models.PositiveIntegerField()\r\n color = models.CharField(max_length=30)\r\n owner_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)\r\n\r\n\r\n def __str__(self):\r\n return f\"{self.make} {self.model} ({self.plate_number})\"\r\n<\/pre>\n3. Making Migrations<\/h4>\n
- \n
- makemigrations<\/strong>: Makes migrations based on the changes detected in the models. Migrations are how Django stores changes to the models.<\/li>\n
- migrate<\/strong>: This command applies the migrations to the database, creating the tables and columns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
python3 manage.py makemigrations vehicles\r\npython3 manage.py migrate\r\n<\/pre>\n
4. Defining Views<\/h4>\n
- \n
- vehicle_list<\/strong> retrieves all vehicle entries and renders them.<\/li>\n
- vehicle_detail<\/strong> fetches a specific vehicle by plate_number and displays it.<\/li>\n
- vehicle_create<\/strong> handles POST requests to create a new vehicle entry using VehicleForm. If valid, it saves the form and redirects to the vehicle list.<\/li>\n
- vehicle_update<\/strong> updates an existing vehicle entry, while vehicle_delete<\/strong> handles deletion of a vehicle, with confirmation before deletion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404, redirect\r\nfrom .models import Vehicle\r\nfrom .forms import VehicleForm\r\n\r\n\r\ndef vehicle_list(request):\r\n vehicles = Vehicle.objects.all()\r\n return render(request, 'vehicles\/vehicle_list.html', {'vehicles': vehicles})\r\n\r\n\r\ndef vehicle_detail(request, plate_number):\r\n vehicle = get_object_or_404(Vehicle, plate_number=plate_number)\r\n return render(request, 'vehicles\/vehicle_detail.html', {'vehicle': vehicle})\r\n\r\n\r\ndef vehicle_create(request):\r\n if request.method == 'POST':\r\n form = VehicleForm(request.POST)\r\n if form.is_valid():\r\n form.save()\r\n return redirect('vehicle_list')\r\n else:\r\n form = VehicleForm()\r\n return render(request, 'vehicles\/vehicle_form.html', {'form': form})\r\n\r\n\r\ndef vehicle_update(request, plate_number):\r\n vehicle = get_object_or_404(Vehicle, plate_number=plate_number)\r\n if request.method == 'POST':\r\n form = VehicleForm(request.POST, instance=vehicle)\r\n if form.is_valid():\r\n form.save()\r\n return redirect('vehicle_detail', plate_number=vehicle.plate_number)\r\n else:\r\n form = VehicleForm(instance=vehicle)\r\n return render(request, 'vehicles\/vehicle_form.html', {'form': form})\r\n\r\n\r\ndef vehicle_delete(request, plate_number):\r\n vehicle = get_object_or_404(Vehicle, plate_number=plate_number)\r\n if request.method == 'POST':\r\n vehicle.delete()\r\n return redirect('vehicle_list')\r\n return render(request, 'vehicles\/vehicle_confirm_delete.html', {'vehicle': vehicle})\r\n<\/pre>\n5. Setting URLs<\/h4>\n
- \n
- The path (‘admin\/’, admin.site.urls)<\/strong> directs to Django’s admin interface for managing the application.<\/li>\n
- The path (‘ ‘)<\/strong> maps the root URL to the vehicle listing view.<\/li>\n
- The path (‘create\/’)<\/strong> links to the view for creating a new vehicle entry.<\/li>\n
- Other paths handle specific vehicle operations\u2014view details, update, and delete.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
from django.contrib import admin\r\nfrom django.urls import path\r\nfrom vehicles import views\r\n\r\n\r\nurlpatterns = [\r\n path('admin\/', admin.site.urls),\r\n path('', views.vehicle_list, name='vehicle_list'),\r\n path('create\/', views.vehicle_create, name='vehicle_create'),\r\n path('<str:plate_number>\/', views.vehicle_detail, name='vehicle_detail'),\r\n path('vehicles\/<str:plate_number>\/update\/', views.vehicle_update, name='vehicle_update'),\r\n path('<str:plate_number>\/delete\/', views.vehicle_delete, name='vehicle_delete'),\r\n]\r\n<\/pre>\n6. Creating Templates<\/h4>\n
base.html<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- The <meta><\/strong> tags set the character encoding and viewport for responsive design.<\/li>\n
- The <nav><\/strong> element includes links to the vehicle list and the form for adding a new vehicle, using {% url ‘vehicle_list’ %}<\/strong> and {% url ‘vehicle_create’ %}.<\/strong><\/li>\n
- The <div class=”container”> includes {% block content %}<\/strong>, which inherits page-specific content that will be inserted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<!DOCTYPE html>\r\n<html lang=\"en\">\r\n<head>\r\n <meta charset=\"UTF-8\">\r\n <meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\">\r\n <title>{% block title %}My Vehicle System{% endblock %}<\/title>\r\n {% load static %}\r\n <link href=\"{% static 'css\/style.css' %}\" rel=\"stylesheet\">\r\n <link href=\"https:\/\/stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com\/bootstrap\/4.5.2\/css\/bootstrap.min.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\">\r\n<\/head>\r\n<body>\r\n <nav class=\"navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light\">\r\n <a class=\"navbar-brand\" href=\"{% url 'vehicle_list' %}\">TechVidvan@Vehicle System<\/a>\r\n <div class=\"collapse navbar-collapse\">\r\n <ul class=\"navbar-nav mr-auto\">\r\n <li class=\"nav-item\">\r\n <a class=\"nav-link\" href=\"{% url 'vehicle_list' %}\">Vehicles<\/a>\r\n <\/li>\r\n <li class=\"nav-item\">\r\n <a class=\"nav-link\" href=\"{% url 'vehicle_create' %}\">Add Vehicle<\/a>\r\n <\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/nav>\r\n <div class=\"container\">\r\n {% block content %}\r\n {% endblock %}\r\n <\/div>\r\n <script src=\"https:\/\/code.jquery.com\/jquery-3.5.1.slim.min.js\"><\/script>\r\n <script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.jsdelivr.net\/npm\/@popperjs\/core@2.9.2\/dist\/umd\/popper.min.js\"><\/script>\r\n <script src=\"https:\/\/stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com\/bootstrap\/4.5.2\/js\/bootstrap.min.js\"><\/script>\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>\r\n<\/pre>\nvehicle_list.html<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- The table structure defines a table with headers for vehicle details like plate number, make, model, year, color, and owner name.<\/li>\n
- Table rows loop through the vehicles list to create rows displaying each vehicle’s details.<\/li>\n
- And action Links provides buttons for View, Edit,<\/strong> and Delete<\/strong> actions, linking to vehicle detail, update, and delete views.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
