Beginner, Adding a feature in a Django based website

[Sourav Singh]

Hi,

I require some help in the issue given here.We wish to implement a closing account feature in a Django Website.So far, I know that the corresponding database entry for the user must be deleted from the database.But I require some help in making it possible.

Any kind of help would be very much appreciated!

With Regards,
Sourav

Can you tell us what exactly is giving you trouble?

Some general hints:

- To delete an object from the database, you can call something like
``MyModel.objects.get(username=theusername).delete()``

- There also is a generic class-based view (CBV) for deleting objects:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/class-based-views/generic-editing/#deleteview

- Of course, you must protect the feature, such that users cannot delete
other users' accounts.

Have fun!
