How can I use advanced generic views in Django?

Advanced generic views in Django allow you to create complex views with minimal code. You can customize them using mixins and override methods.

Can you give me an example of a custom mixin?

Sure! A custom mixin can be created to add extra context to your views. For example, you can create a mixin that adds user-specific data to the context.

How do I implement that mixin in a class-based view?

You can implement the mixin by inheriting it in your class-based view. Just add it to the class definition before the view class you're extending.

What are some common pitfalls when using generic views?

Common pitfalls include not understanding the order of method resolution, misusing context data, and not properly handling permissions.
