Doc Name Update

Frappe Framework Customization
1

Hi everyone,

I am building a new Contact Doctype from scratch called “contacts” with the help of the “contact” doctype.
I have not found out where in the contact.py file the update was being launched.

It seems the autoname(self) does not do that job.

Here is my own contacts.py:

import frappe
from frappe import _
from frappe.contacts.address_and_contact import set_link_title
from frappe.core.doctype.dynamic_link.dynamic_link import deduplicate_dynamic_links
from frappe.model.document import Document
from frappe.model.naming import append_number_if_name_exists
from frappe.utils import cstr


class Contacts(Document):

	from typing import TYPE_CHECKING

	if TYPE_CHECKING:
		from frappe.types import DF

		first_name: DF.Data | None
		full_name: DF.Data | None
		last_name: DF.Data | None


	def autoname(self):
		self.name = self._get_full_name()

		if frappe.db.exists("Contacts", self.name):
			self.name = append_number_if_name_exists("Contacts", self.name)

	def validate(self):
		self.full_name = self._get_full_name()


	def _get_full_name(self) -> str:
		return get_full_name(self.first_name, self.last_name)



def get_full_name(
	first: str | None = None,
	last: str | None = None,
) -> str:
	full_name = " ".join(filter(None, [cstr(f).strip() for f in [first, last]]))
	return full_name

Many thanks for your input !
