is this the correct location?

yes

#

is there something im missing?

native root Oct 15, 2019, 11:29 AM

#

Well, e.target is the event's target

#

$(e.target) is the events target element

#

it seems that it's data is empty

fathom sapphire Oct 15, 2019, 11:29 AM

#

it made the right amount of {} as the value is though

native root Oct 15, 2019, 11:29 AM

#

since the data is empty, .table becomes undefined

#

since table is undefined, if(table_body) does not run

#

Since e.target never changes throughout the loop, the if statement never runs

#

and add_row is never called

#

Right, so the loop is working, but the logic to fetch the row to add is not

fathom sapphire Oct 15, 2019, 11:32 AM

#

so what causes my button with exact same code work?

or is that logging the table?

That's logging the table

You can expand it to look deeper, too

Django question.

So, I followed Corey Schafers' Django tutorial on youtube, in which he builds a basic blog. I have completed it and it's ready for deployment, but it's not what I'm looking to build (although I like that I have that app ready to modify and deploy if I want).

There's a tutorial for building a polling website on the official Django docs found here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/intro/tutorial01/
I would like to do both of these projects as different apps within the same overall project, which is currently called webhub.

The reasoning behind that is because my end goal is to have my own website that, when navigated to, forces a login before you can go to ANY page. I plan to be the only one who can access this website, basically. I want it accessible anywhere, but only by me via login. So, the plan is to have it log in, then bring me to a landing page with links to the apps within that landing. Sort of like how google chrome has that default landing page when you first open a tab.

With that in mind, I want to build this polling app from Django and try to tie both apps together, then create a landing that can navigate between them. Is this something that would work, or should I just not do that, and isolate each of these projects, then start work on my whole plan some other time?

#

Sorry, /novel lol...

how do i simply add a script to a button with flask and python
all i need to do is connect a return redirect to a button

vagrant adder Oct 16, 2019, 4:52 AM

#

<a href="{{ url_for('funcname') }}">

#

And you can style that

hot yarrow Oct 16, 2019, 9:34 AM

#

is anyone here experienced with flask and would be able to offer me some design advice?

native root Oct 16, 2019, 9:35 AM

#

Can't try if you don't give any details

hot yarrow Oct 16, 2019, 9:36 AM

#

ye, sorry just didn't want to spam if no one was available!

native root Oct 16, 2019, 9:36 AM

#

No worries, feel free to post anytime, it ain't spam

hot yarrow Oct 16, 2019, 9:36 AM

#

So, I'm making my own flask dashboard, so far it's been smooth but I'm a bit stumped about how to design my configuration page. The python backend also is connected to a gateway class which has a lot of configurations and one of the frontend pages is going to be handling those configuratoins, allowing people to see them and change them

#

📎 unknown.png

#

What I'm unsure how to approach is how to get/save those values

#

the menus shown there are javascript/css right now

native root Oct 16, 2019, 9:39 AM

#

Well, first decision is if you want them to save-on-selection a la webapp style, or on a submit event

hot yarrow Oct 16, 2019, 9:39 AM

#

submit event for sure

#

since those immediately go to the hardware side of things

native root Oct 16, 2019, 9:39 AM

#

right, and they've got much clearer UX

#

I'd suggest just a regular post request

#

post new settings to a controlling endpoint, and have the endpoint send back a redirect to a "done" page

hot yarrow Oct 16, 2019, 9:42 AM

#

sweet, ill find a tutorial on that then

#

the url already switches to http://localhost:5000/config#lora1 for each module, would that then just require a app.route('/config#lora1', methods = ['GET', 'POST'])?

native root Oct 16, 2019, 9:44 AM

#

yes

#

It'd be very similar to a standard form submission, I would think

hot yarrow Oct 16, 2019, 9:45 AM

#

This’ll make me stress less about deadlines then

native root Oct 16, 2019, 9:45 AM

#

You can also separate the methods

hot yarrow Oct 16, 2019, 9:45 AM

#

Thanks!

#

Each with its own route?

native root Oct 16, 2019, 9:45 AM

#

app.route("/", methods=["GET"])


and 


app.route("/", methods=["POST"])

#

I believe

#

So, ex:

#


@app.route("/config", methods=["GET"])
def config():
    return render_template("config.html")

@app.route("/config", methods=["POST"])
def save_config():
    print(request.form)

hot yarrow Oct 16, 2019, 9:53 AM

#

@app.route("/config#lora1")
def func():
    print("WOW LORA1?")

I tried to run this as a quick test and it doesn't seem to be reached

#

<a href="#lora1" class="list-group-item" id="lora1" onclick="sidebarfunction(1)">Lora Module 1</a> this is how it's being called

native root Oct 16, 2019, 9:54 AM

#

Two things there, I think

#

onclick= might suppress the navigation event

#

and an href to a # causes the browser to jump to the element with that as its id/name

hot yarrow Oct 16, 2019, 9:54 AM

#

even if the url in chrome changes?

#

ah

native root Oct 16, 2019, 9:55 AM

#

You can change the url in the navbar separately from navigation without using #'s,

hot yarrow Oct 16, 2019, 9:55 AM

#

wouldnt i need seperate .html files then?

native root Oct 16, 2019, 9:56 AM

#

Not necessarily

#

window.history.replaceState() is a non-loading navigation event, but more importantly, the html files returned by flask are specified by you

#

Say you're on /config#laura1, and you have the following html:

#

<form action="/config-submit/laura1">
    <input>
    <input>
    <input type="submit" value="Save Changes">
</form>

#

Clicking the "save changes" button will trigger a POST request to /config-submit/laura1

#

if you name your route "/config-submit/<config_name>", and take in config_name

#

then the last element of the url is passed into your function

#

Your function could then return a redirect back to /config#laura1, for example, to go back to the original page

#

However, considering that you've already got javascript hooked up

#

an ajax request to /config-submit with the relevant parameters might just be simpler

hot yarrow Oct 16, 2019, 10:00 AM

#

ah

native root Oct 16, 2019, 10:07 AM

#

Here's a simple jquery example:

#

$.post( "/save-config", { name: "Bast", time: "2pm" } );

#

The flask side, request.form['name'] would be "Bast"

hot yarrow Oct 16, 2019, 10:12 AM

#

I just threw that in

#

@app.route("/save-config", methods=["POST"])
def prase_request():
    print(request.json)

#

get a name error for request, undefined

#

oh im missing a import, my bad

#

that did the trick

native root Oct 16, 2019, 10:15 AM

#

👍

hot yarrow Oct 16, 2019, 10:58 AM

#

Hey @native root, took a break and got back onto it, right now I'm trying this:

@app.route("/get-config", methods=["POST"])
def return_config():
    return_value = None
    if request.form['module'] == "lora1":
        return_value = {
            "tx_power": 23,
            "bandwidth": 100
        }

    return_value = make_response(jsonify(return_value), 200)
    return return_value

and on the javascript side I got:
var lora_stuff = $.post( "/get-config", {module: "lora1"} );

#

when I look at lora_stuff, I get [Object object], tried json.parse() but that didn't help either

native root Oct 16, 2019, 10:59 AM

#

lora_stuff.tx_power ought to be 23, there

hot yarrow Oct 16, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

#

        } 
        function sendMessage(message){
            socket.send(message)
        }

the server:

server = open_socket()
        while True:
            sock, addr = server.accept()
            thread = threading.Thread(target=client_thread, args=(sock,), daemon=True)
            thread.start()

How are you running the command

native tide Oct 16, 2019, 12:08 PM

#

hmn with ctrl+alt+n in vs-code

#

maybe it's the problem

#

i should use the manage.py shell

#

the fact it that that create_news should be indipendent from django shell

native root Oct 16, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

yes

#

That is the problem

#

django sets up its installed_apps imports when you call the django manage.py commands

#

This allows you to easily import and access other modules

#

if you simply run the script separately, the namespace is not initialized, and you get errors like the one you were experiencing

#

If you wish to have access to your django models, then it's pretty much given that your command should be run through the django commands interface

#

Here is a relevant guide, if it's not what you're doing

#

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/howto/custom-management-commands/

#

They are callable via python manage.py custom_command_name for custom_command_name.py

I have a problem with my website, it's on Django.

Core of the problem is that I have no clue how to debug this particular bug.

#

If I fill a form from my main PC, I can see new objects in admin panel.

But doing the same thing from a new IP (my phone for example) doesn't show me any errors, yet objects don't appear in admin panel.

if I run anything on the container it works
but if I try to use local manage.py or django console, I get an error
django.db.utils.OperationalError: could not translate host name "db" to address: Unknown host
I'm assuming this is because in my django DATABASE setting I put 'db' as the HOST
If I change it to localhost, it'll work in manage.py locally
but then break on the container

How do I output an error in Flask, so that Apache picks it up and throws it into the apache error log?

#

just write it to std::err?

native root Oct 18, 2019, 4:05 AM

#

I believe you would need to return an error status code

tired root Oct 18, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

Thanks. Do you know which one is suitable so that Apache still serves the content, but logs the error?

#

and how do I pass the message?

native root Oct 18, 2019, 4:07 AM

#

I mixed two things up. If you want your stacktrace to appear in the apache error log, then printing to sys.stderr should suffice

#

If you want apache to log an erroring page without displaying "Recovery" content--like on a 404, for example, you'd want to return the template with the appropriate status code

#

You can do that in a flask route via return template_rendered, status_code

tired root Oct 18, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

I tried to raise an exception, Apache shows a 500, but the log is empty. I am going to try to write std err

native root Oct 18, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

This might be helpful: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/api/#flask.Flask.errorhandler

tired root Oct 18, 2019, 4:16 AM

#

Printing to stderr does not work. Error Handlers are just custom error pages, aren't they? Apparently getting apache to pick up your output is harder than anticipated.

#

I am stupid, printing to stderr does work. Was looking in the wrong log 😄

#

forgot that I had 2 separate logs for frontend and backend vhost

#

@admin_app.route('/myerr')
def testerror():
    print("Custom Error", file=sys.stderr)
    return "Hello World"

Output:

root@host1:/var/log/apache2 # cat admin.error.log
[Fri Oct 18 06:17:36.115208 2019] [wsgi:error] [pid 8367] [client 10.10.10.1:49505] Custom Error

native root Oct 18, 2019, 4:18 AM

#

I was about to mention it :P

#

Generally practice is to return a "Internal Server Error", 500

#

5xx error codes indicate that the server had an error, and is useful for callers to get

#

But it's up to you and your needs honestly

tired root Oct 18, 2019, 4:19 AM

#

Unless you want the app to continue operations. I want to silently log the error but keep going

#

Right

@rare oar
That happens because it cannot find the database since it's in your container that is shut down

rare oar Oct 18, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

the container is running

#

its like it doesn't transfer to my local host

To fix I set a environment variable POSTGRES_HOST in the container

and in my code did something like:

#

Generally you use a local_settings.py file

#

Which is only present in your development environment, and is imported at the end of settings.py (which should have been done for you). This would allow you to override the DATABASES setting with the localhost one

Hey guys, I have a quote model and I want to create a foreign key link to one of many different product type models. Is there a recommended way to achieve this? One idea I had was to create a base Product model, then have one to one links from instances of these to the various different product model instances. Finally linking my quote model instances to the parent Product model instances. I look forward to any thoughts or insight, it would be much appreciated

Hi guys!
I'm currently trying to convert my Flask application to an executable file.
When I run the normal .py file it works, but when I run the exe I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "testfile.py", line 4, in <module>
  File "app\__init__.py", line 14, in create_app

  File "site-packages\engineio\server.py", line 130, in __init__
ValueError: Invalid async_mode specified

I've google around but could not find anything helpful.
Maybe it's something with hidden imports?
Thanks In advance python !

this is my init.py

socketio = SocketIO()

@ashen anchor Django supports model inheritance

#


class MyModel(models.Model):
    some_shared_fields

class MyOtherModel(MyModel):
    some_unique_fields

#

MyOtherModel.my_model would give the parent class instance

unborn terrace Oct 18, 2019, 8:59 AM

#

@native root why would inheritance be needed here ?

native root Oct 18, 2019, 9:00 AM

#

Gatt was describing a situation involving inheritance, as far as I could tell, with multiple model types that are all kinds of another model

#

Eg, a set of "products" specific to different vendors

#

each linking back to a parent "shared product" model

unborn terrace Oct 18, 2019, 9:01 AM

#

@ashen anchor why would you need inheritance as well ? 🤔

@native root if I understand correctly, these “products” would be prone to be dynamically created. Hence not suitable to model inheritance. More like having VendorProduct objects linked (by foreign key for instance) to a Product object

dense hound Oct 18, 2019, 9:03 AM

#

@native root yeah I'm reading trough it atm but don't think it will help me out

#

such an annoying error

native root Oct 18, 2019, 9:05 AM

#

Why do you not think so, its your exact problem?

ashen anchor Oct 18, 2019, 9:05 AM

#

Yeah, essentially the product types are very different but a known quantity so I've opted to create different models for each product type

#

The quote model however just needs to contain costs/prices per unit (among other things)

#

But I need it to link to a specific product instance, but obviously there's different product types so a standard foreign key won't work and it seems GenericForeignKeys aren't recommended

native root Oct 18, 2019, 9:07 AM

#

Inheritance is exactly what you need

unborn terrace Oct 18, 2019, 9:08 AM

#

@ashen anchor why make your different product types different models ?

ashen anchor Oct 18, 2019, 9:09 AM

#

Because each product type has completely different attributes/methods attached to them

unborn terrace Oct 18, 2019, 9:09 AM

#

How many different types do you have to work with ?

ashen anchor Oct 18, 2019, 9:09 AM

#

Around 6

native root Oct 18, 2019, 9:10 AM

#

class Quote:
    product = ForeignKey(Product)

class Product:
    stuff

class BobsProduct(Product):
    stuff

#

BobsProduct.product gets you the product

#

and you can reverse it as well to go from quotes to individual vendors

ashen anchor Oct 18, 2019, 9:11 AM

#

@native root makes sense to me, what is happening in the background whilst doing this?

#

Is it essentially the onetoone link I was planning?

native root Oct 18, 2019, 9:12 AM

#

Django sets up a foreign key from BobsProduct to Product, and uses that when it loads BobsProduct for all the inherited fields as well

#

Yep

ashen anchor Oct 18, 2019, 9:12 AM

#

Excellent, any downsides I need to be concerned with?

#

Aside from the performance hit with joins (which won't be a concern in this case)

native root Oct 18, 2019, 9:13 AM

#

There's some interesting inheritance details with the metaclass, but if you specify everything normally it ought to simply make sense

#

The docs for that gotcha are here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/db/models/#be-careful-with-related-name-and-related-query-name

pyinstaller goes and looks in all your files for imports to know what to include, but since engineio doesn't have a normal import threading inside it, it's missed and not included by default

Hi, this is not strictly python related but is still very conceptual, so I feel like your input will be valid.

Hi, for my senior design project my team is going to be implementing a webapp that uses a kahoot.it - like room system to group users into a session together by a code, but I had some questions on technologies for implementing this.

We will have access to a webserver and webhost, and our backend will be Rails. What technologies or libraries can I look into for implementing this type of system. Right now, I am imagining running one application on the domain that handles all users up until the point they enter a code or create a room, at which point docker will spin up an instance of a different application to handle the rest of the app. All other users with the same code will be routed to this instance.

Note: I have not used docker, and am mostly wondering if this is overkill and there is a simpler application or technology that can handle this sort of room or session-based connection grouping?

native root Oct 19, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

@still talon That's heavily overkill, you can easily manage messages from multiple users within a single execution context. Those apps often work via socket.io, which has a rooms system that you might want to look at

still talon Oct 19, 2019, 4:08 PM

#

Thanks, is there a name for this sort of technology? Just don't know what keywords to use for research (beyond socket.io now)

#

Looks like messaging, maybe?

native root Oct 19, 2019, 4:10 PM

#

I'm not sure. I know Websockets, and general chat howtos are quite helpful for this, at least for me. https://flask-socketio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ is a good prototyping framework for python, for this, and might serve as a source for keyword fodder

I have a user model that has a ManyToMany for "DayOfWeek" where you choose any one or more of the days of the week.

When I query the DB against other users, how can I display any users that match? Like, all the users that match Monday, or Monday and Tuesday, etc.

If it's just one value, I can handle it, but what do you do in the case of multiple values?

you mean in plain text?

if you're using HTTPS it should be enough

the server should just do the hashing part

hash the password client side before sending, apply salt and pepper on the server

an extra layer of security, I guess

never heard of it before, do you have some paper or video about it?

not among browsers*, I worded it poorly

#

but in the browser

I guess I did understood but didn't find it that useful

#

but that wouldn't help if someone took control in the middle of the HTTPS connection, wouldn't it
this still doesn't click to me, if I'm the bad guy I can just tell the client to not encrypt the password at all

#

it's only useful if something happens to the server itself

#

(which I admit is not a totally pointless idea, but for most cases it wouldn't do much)

Do you know any good Rich Text Editors for the Django? CKeditor is good, but when I asked about the license they said, that for order us to help you, you must first puchase the commercial lisence.

#

There is TinyMCE, which is available under the LGPL, and CKEditor 4, which is available under GPL3, LGPL, or MPL, or commercial, and CKeditor 5, which is available under GLP3 and commercial

I suspect there's a few others that I'm not familiar with

#

LGPL permits commercial usage

https://djangopackages.org/packages/p/django-ckeditor/ in there it says Ckeditor is under BSD.

I can't use the lastest version of the CKeditor, I need to put in the requirements django-ckeditor 4.9.0 or something. Right?

#

The lastest version of ckeditor is 5.7.1 So I can't use that one under the LGPL

native root Oct 20, 2019, 10:55 AM

#

django ckeditor is the python package that adapts ckeditor 4.9, automatically including it within django-ckeditor 5.7.1

#

CKEditor 5 does not have a stable, clearly installable django package at this moment

#

This is due to it's large changes: removal of LGPL, and a distancing from the html backend

elder nebula Oct 20, 2019, 10:57 AM

Hmm... So If I modify the source code of ckeditor then it must be made public?

Hi. Does anyone have experience with the development of a multi tenant platform with Django ?

vagrant adder Oct 22, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

take a look at blueprints @supple loom

#

they are usually used to organize app a little bit

#

and for the frontend, you might take a look at vue or react, depends on what your website would do

supple loom Oct 23, 2019, 1:42 AM

#

@vagrant adder i am sorry but blueprints for which problem ?

vagrant adder Oct 23, 2019, 4:20 AM

#

You asked about a workflow in flask apps

pliant hound Oct 23, 2019, 5:28 AM

#

Anyone know why I wouldn't be able to call init_app() on a flask extension?

#

scss = Scss()

def create_app(config_class=Config):
    app = Flask(__name__)
    app.config.from_object(Config)
    scss.init_app(app)

    return app
``` Doesn't work

#

Sorry- Scss() comes from the flask-scss package

#

I keep getting the error:

    scss = Scss()
TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'app'

vagrant adder Oct 23, 2019, 5:43 AM

#

Take a look at docs, i think you need to specify the flask app as the argument

#

Never worked with scss but that is my assumption

pliant hound Oct 23, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

Yeah, it was working before I tried throwing it in a factory function 😦

#

Not sure what the fix is now, though

vagrant adder Oct 23, 2019, 6:47 AM

#

Well, you should look if scss supports factory style

#

It doesn't look like it supports factory

pliant hound Oct 23, 2019, 6:53 AM

#

Yeah the docs say no dice

#

It also hasn’t been worked on since 2015 haha

hey, i've been trying to setup a website run by flask, and i was wondering how i'd be able to make it publicly available

#

i know of stuff like localtunnel and ngrok, but ngrok has caps on the amount of users that can be on the site at once and localtunnel is extremely inconsistent (it goes down often)

#

i've considered setting up my own localtunnel server that runs on the same VPS that my flask site would be running on in order to make it public but there's no documentation or tutorials and the stuff that's available is just hard for me to understand since i'm a novice at all of this web development stuff

#

if anyone could help me out, i'd really appreciate it. just ping me so that i don't miss your message 🙂

vague seal Oct 23, 2019, 11:37 PM

Do you mean public that you can asscess externally or public to the entire web @digital depot

public to the entire web

#

my bad, should've made that clearer

#

@vague seal

vague seal Oct 23, 2019, 11:39 PM

#

on your host makesure the ports are open (80 or 443)

#

then pick and setup a webserver for flask (nginx or apache or ...)

#

then set your domain's A tag to the servers IP address

#

if you just open the ports you should be able to access the flask site as is going to the browser and typing in the ip address

digital depot Oct 23, 2019, 11:42 PM

i tried using the 5000 port and idk if i've been doing it wrong but it wasn't working

in django how would you get a field that lists all fonts

#

eg. a post model, and one of the fields is a field where the user can select a font for the post

#

i'm thinking of using tkFont

#

🤔

gentle lark Oct 24, 2019, 5:06 AM

#

i would for loop through all the fonts i want to show taken from the context in the view and then put an id on each font when rendering

#

then grab the id from the backend

native tide Oct 24, 2019, 5:08 AM

#

hmm i don't think i would put an id on each font

#

since you can just use the font name itself

#

eg. <font face={{ post.font_name }} color="green">This is some text!</font>

#

in template

gentle lark Oct 24, 2019, 5:22 AM

#

you basically need to show all the fonts that user wants and then see which ones they wanted in the backend

#

so for loop to show all of them on template and then grab them by value or id or anything you want from the backend

#

as long as you know what they wanted in the backedn youre set

#

would you say that a flask project more secure than nodejs express project by default?

native tide Oct 24, 2019, 6:05 AM

#

i don't know much about nodejs

#

how are you supposed to create a for loop, that iterates through the fonts and also lists them in the dropdown menu?

#

i want it to be a field

#

font = models.OnetoOne(fonts, other_fields)

gentle lark Oct 24, 2019, 7:25 AM

#

def fontview(request):
    return render(request, template, context=font)

#template

{% for font in fonts %}
    <div id="font"> font </div>
{% endfor %}

#

something like that

#

@native tide

native tide Oct 24, 2019, 7:26 AM

#

ok

gentle lark Oct 24, 2019, 7:27 AM

#

do you get what i mean?

native tide Oct 24, 2019, 7:28 AM

#

yeah

#

but when the user creates a post i want them to have the option to select the font of the post via a drop down menu

#

and when it displays the post (in _post.html, the html file for a post) it will display the font the user also chose

gentle lark Oct 24, 2019, 7:31 AM

#

{% for font in fonts %}
     <select>
          <option value="font">font</option>
          <option value="font">font</option>
          <option value="font">font</option>
          <option value="font">font</option>
    </select> 
% endfor %}

I was wondering if I could get some input on this.
I've got an API and a Worker that I've just configured with Docker compose to run separately.
The issue I'm having is that when they run locally on my machine there is no problem using Django's file storage and the default_storage class to perform uploads and downloads.
However when they're deployed separately in docker they don't work
I made a post on this here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58531963/how-to-use-django-file-storage-to-share-files-between-an-api-and-a-worker
I'm confused why I can't retrieve files from the storage file system using the default_storage
What is the idiomatic way for a worker to retrieve something from Django's file storage that does not involve retrieving from the database?

@last lily it depends, in django you can apply CRUD functions quite easily but you'd probably need to take a course to understand django and CRUD. There are a lot of courses for django on udemy and i'm sure there are a lot of tutorial series on youtube. For me, Django projects are very comprehensible even for a person unfamiliar with it.

i have a stupid flask question: what's the difference between server side session variables and just storing something in a global dict? i know global is normally a byword for 'terrible idea' but in this case it fits, if the user id's are unique, right?

native root Oct 25, 2019, 6:28 AM

#

Unless you're using something like flask-sessions, as far as I'm aware flask does not have server side session variables

#

Since flask applications are often single-namespace applications, then yes a global dict with unique user id's would function as a server side session manager

#

The session you get from flask is a client-side session stored inside a regular cookie passed back and forth between the browser and your flask application

#

the docs state

#

If you have set Flask.secret_key (or configured it from SECRET_KEY) you can use sessions in Flask applications. A session makes it possible to remember information from one request to another. The way Flask does this is by using a signed cookie. The user can look at the session contents, but can’t modify it unless they know the secret key, so make sure to set that to something complex and unguessable.

#

The key also by default includes a timestamp, preventing reusage of the cookie after (default 31 days) from that date

Hey guys, im just starting out with webdevelopment and have worked a bit with .NET Core for my backend and angular/ts for the frontend stuff. i also did some python before and rly liked the language so i thought maybe python would be a good alternative for my webdevelopment stuff.
i understand that there are a few popular frameworks like django and flask among others in python for this matter, but before i research every single one of them i thought i might as well ask you for recommendations and resources for beginners on that matter. maybe some of you worked with .NET Core and angular before and know of frameworks that would be easier to get into for ppl with that background.

vagrant adder Oct 25, 2019, 7:10 AM

#

I have worked a bit with .net

#

I liked flask because it feels like legos, you have a lot of extensions that do something, but you can write apps without much extensions

#

And django is like a big bag with every single wrench you'll ever(probably) need

#

Orm, forms, api-like tools etc

#

Try both then decide i'd say

urban laurel Oct 25, 2019, 7:14 AM

#

so that is the "batteries included" thing with django then and flask does not subscribe to that philosophy?

#

and did one feel more familiar to how things are done in .net to you or are both about the same?

vagrant adder Oct 25, 2019, 7:17 AM

#

I think django has that .net feel but i really loved flask

You can write a server under 6 lines

The only thing you may decide based on is if you want batteries included or want to build/collect/attach everything yourself.

vagrant adder Oct 25, 2019, 7:32 AM

#

And my last company used it for their admin panel :p

#

You'll really get far using django but you might give flask a try

#

And see what fits your needs

urban laurel Oct 25, 2019, 7:33 AM

#

but if i understand correctly they are both backend frameworks, not fullstack

#

right?

soft chasm Oct 25, 2019, 7:34 AM

#

they both do templating i think

candid basalt Oct 25, 2019, 7:34 AM

#

Flask doesn't deal with templates afaik. You'll have to use jinja or something for that.

#

Django does have it's templating system included yes.

vagrant adder Oct 25, 2019, 7:35 AM

#

Backend only, but they have templating engine

#

Like twig for js

soft chasm Oct 25, 2019, 7:35 AM

#

oh right, yeah it's through jinja2 but it works well

vagrant adder Oct 25, 2019, 7:35 AM

#

Oh yeah

#

@candid basalt
Flask has jinja2 and has ability to render html

soft chasm Oct 25, 2019, 7:36 AM

#

i mean, i don't feel like jinja was an extra thing i had to go out and 'get' to make flask sites work

candid basalt Oct 25, 2019, 7:37 AM

#

Flaks and Jinja are 2 tools working well together. Django and it's templates is the same tool thats works well with itself... xD

vagrant adder Oct 25, 2019, 7:37 AM

#

Yes

candid basalt Oct 25, 2019, 7:38 AM

#

Both are very viable, but I would go for Django if you want something moderately complex working well fast. Go for Flask if you need something very simple or something very complex (that complex so that even Django's customization doesn't cut it).

urban laurel Oct 25, 2019, 7:38 AM

#

that is good advice, thank you

candid basalt Oct 25, 2019, 7:39 AM

#

Also there are edge cases you may want to take into account.

#

Pretty often whatever module you use for Flask pretty often can be used with Django too.

#

On the other hand Django's ORM does not like to deal with document-based DBs like mongodb.

#

For obvious reasons.

#

So it very much depends on your particular use case.

soft chasm Oct 25, 2019, 7:42 AM

#

i actually have a question about flask, i often see people say never use it in production, use a proper server, does that mean re-doing it in something totally different, or is it just i need to fiddle stuff to get the flask backend to use a different server framework?

im currently using ms management studio to manage my ms sql server if that is relevant @candid basalt

candid basalt Oct 25, 2019, 7:43 AM

#

They probably mean don't use flask's development server.

#

And use some kind of wsgi-capable frontend like gunicorn instead.

#

Flask itself is more then ok in production.

soft chasm Oct 25, 2019, 7:44 AM

#

ah okay

#

is the dev server just if i have debug on or that's different?

#

ah just looking at it now i guess not...

candid basalt Oct 25, 2019, 7:46 AM

#

https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/server/

#

This is what i'm referring to. flask run - don't do it in production.

soft chasm Oct 25, 2019, 7:47 AM

#

got it

#

ty

#

so this is the same as just app.run() in python right?

candid basalt Oct 25, 2019, 7:48 AM

#

I believe so, yes.

#

The alternative way to start the application is through the Flask.run() method. This will immediately launch a local server exactly the same way the flask script does.

vagrant adder Oct 25, 2019, 8:14 AM

#

@soft chasm
When you do flask run, flask's own dev server starts and that webserver sucks and should never been used in production

#

You can use gunicorn to server that same exact app by gunicorn run:app

#

run -> run.py -> file name where there is Flask instance

#

And app is Flask instance

I should learn to use django tests, do you know any good tutorials for that?

candid basalt Oct 25, 2019, 9:37 AM

Django official documentation should be a good start if you know what testing is.

Otherwise you may want to study testing overall first.

is there an up to date official roadmap for django? i found this one here but it is from 2015 and outdated

nvm, found it on their site under /downloads .. did not anticipate it there

This typically means that you attempted to use functionality that needed
an active HTTP request.  Consult the documentation on testing for
information about how to avoid this problem.```

how can I fix this error when I try to add a key:value session

in flask

native root Oct 25, 2019, 1:28 PM

Sessions are per-user, and as a result they apply to the current request by default

if you try to add to session outside of a request, which session should it apply to?

@native tide It does not work this way

not a client side one

Then you have to use Kotlin or Java

Maybe you should read up on how these things work

So that module

tired root Oct 26, 2019, 4:18 PM

I think that can do Python and transfer to Android

But tbh, those are all just wrappers and you give up a lot of control

basically yes

native tide Oct 26, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

interesting

tired root Oct 26, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

But if you want to put a game on Android, I really urge you to use Unity

#

There is a lot of things about Android you don't know about and Engines take these issues away from you

#

such as the metric fuckton of resolutions you have to care about

#

Unity abstracts this by working with relative units

#

https://joyofandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/1-1.jpg

native tide Oct 26, 2019, 4:20 PM

#

but using unity means learning C# right?

#

or Javascript

tired root Oct 26, 2019, 4:20 PM

C#

#

yes

#

If you want to do webstuff, there is no way around JS anyway

tired root Oct 26, 2019, 4:26 PM

it is, you just have to wrap it in requestAnimationFrame()

Okay, last try asking this..
This is my login code:

@admin_app.route('/admin-login', methods=['POST'])
def admin_login():
    uname = request.form['admin-name']
    pwd = request.form['admin-password']
    user = User
    if (db_get_admin_login(uname, pwd)):
        user.is_authenticated = True
        login_user(User(1))
        return redirect(url_for('overview'))
    else:
        return redirect(url_for('login', il=True))

In the flask login documentation, it says I need to validate the "next" parameter:
https://flask-login.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#login-example

However, such a param does not exist, if I try to print it, it returns None. I am also not using the DB schemas coming with flask or SQLAlchemy. Can I ignore it then? Can someone shed some light here please?

native root Oct 26, 2019, 4:29 PM

#

The docs are assuming that you pass a ?next=/next/url to your login form, which allows it to redirect to a new, user-specified destination

#

you are not doing this, so you can ignore it

#

The reason they discuss it is if you do that step improperly (since you're not doing it all it doesn't matter for you) ?next=https://google.com/ might work, which would not be a good decision.

@marsh canyon you need box-sizing

your padding is adding to your height, making it 100% + 150px

box-sizing: content-box makes the width not contain padding or border

box-sizing: border-box does

if i remove padding how to make the text come down

@native tide No, you CAN build your website with flask, but the actual game must be done in HTML5, which includes Javascript

The actual game is just within a <canvas></canvas> tag

@primal drift You need to set an anchor, like <a href="#section2">TEXT</a>

this is what i currently have:

now = datetime.now()
first_of_this_month = now-timedelta(days=now.day-1)
one_year_back = now- timedelta(days=365+now.day)
current_year_filter = currency_data.filter(formatted_date__range=[one_year_back, first_of_this_month])
past_year = []

# get past year data
for i in range(1, 13):
    if current_year_filter.filter(formatted_date__month=i).last():
            past_year.append(current_year_filter.filter(formatted_date__month=i).last())```

This gives me 12 data points, but it is ordered incorrectly, so here is an example of what i get.

Can't you do an order_by on the date column to fix that?

or will it not sort properly due to how the date is formatted?

(which would probably be a good reason not to store dates in such a format to begin with)

hollow root Oct 28, 2019, 7:52 AM

the formatted_date is a datetime object so the arrays are a list of datetime objects that i just made readable for the questiion. But i did try an order_by('formatted_date') now but it doesn't seem to work.

hello, I am trying to use this library https://github.com/nbubna/store and I am very confused as to why the code in "clear()" only works if i put it in "load()"
https://pastebin.com/qD5wGWf6

<script type="text/javascript">
  function load()
  {
    var cart = store.namespace('cart');
    var element = document.getElementById("ingall");
    console.log(store.cart.getAll());
    element.innerHTML = "Ingredients:".concat(store.cart.get("topping"),"\n\nAllergy Information:");
  }
  function clear()
  {
    var cart = store.namespace('cart');
    cart.set('topping', "");
    load()
  }
</script>```

The code should work in a onclick event as well

A question about CSS: if I set position: relative to the 1st image and position: absolute to the 2nd one, the 2nd image will use the 1st one as a reference, right?

native root Oct 30, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

No

#

Relative/absolute are relative/absolute to their closest non-static parent element

Hi there, I am trying to make a progress bar for my Flask App that is collecting tweets from the Twitter API (using Python). If a hashtag is entered and the user hits the submit button, I am hoping to have a progress bar while tweets are being collected. I have a cap to the amount of tweets being collected so my plan is to track the number of iterations for each tweet and divide that by the cap as my loading bar. I was just wondering how I would go about this, like is there a way to pass python variables into Javascript so that it could maybe update like every 10% or so (better yet continuously). For context, I'm very new to web stuff including Flask and have never touched Javascript. Thanks

Hello

#

I had a planned to go in Web Development.Do I need to learn the HTML,CSS,JS and OOP of python?

safe garden Oct 31, 2019, 8:38 AM

#

depends on whether you’d want to work with frontend or backend

#

html, css, and js are used in frontend web dev

#

so youd need to at least know the basics of those languages

#

all frontend python web dev uses some form of html/css

#

though python can be used in backend, along with js

lapis stratus Oct 31, 2019, 8:48 AM

#

Thanks @safe garden

junior cloak Oct 31, 2019, 12:24 PM

#

@lapis stratus If you want to make stuff on your own, in a small team, or are aiming for a full stack job, yeah, knowing them all helps. But these aren’t small things to learn. You can pick up the basics quickly but you aren’t going to be a wizard at them all in a hurry. If you’re aiming more for backend development or any sort of python-specific job at a place big enough to have separate people doing front end and backend, then focusing on the python part is fine, specifically building REST APIs and such and mostly only have to care about the JSON you’re outputting or whatever

Possibly being overwritten by something else. Devtools inspector will tell you. Also not sure what you are trying to do but you probably want to use margins and not just positioning

@gleaming herald you get it working? what's the error?

native tide Oct 31, 2019, 7:15 PM

#

Hi webdevs👍
What's the difference between id and class? When I'm using css they all look the same

#

like for example python div#menu { #stuff }
And python div.class_name { #stuff }

#

Forget the #stuff, I'm getting used to html5 comments :D

junior cloak Oct 31, 2019, 7:21 PM

#

@native tide class can and should be reused across many similar elements, id you only use on one element

#

these days in practicality you should almost never be using ids

#

for modern js frontends and stuff you may use an id on the root element and that's it

#

but don't use an id if you don't have a reason to. even if it's for an element that you think "oh i will only have one of these on the webpage". still do not use it

#

only use it if you absolutely need to be able to target that one specific element for some functionality reason and will never use the same element again somewhere else (there aren't as many situations these days where this is the case)

#

it also makes css more difficult because there is different specifity applied to ids versus classes and you can get unexpected results

#

basically just try not to use ids haha

native tide Oct 31, 2019, 7:28 PM

#

Thank you for the response, I'm gonna use classes now. The tutorial is from 2013 so I guess that's why he was using a lot of id's

junior cloak Oct 31, 2019, 7:34 PM

#

oh gosh

#

i dont know the tutorial you are using but having said that i would probably never look at it again

#

so much is different, and better

#

i cannot begin to describe how frequently when debugging with someone it's because they are using a tutorial from a few years ago and everything changed since then haha

#

at best, you may be learning things that are valid but not necessarily current practices at all (the class/ID thing became especially important after frameworks like React came out... which was probably after your tutorial)

#

at worst, you could be doing things that just dont work anymore

#

(for css and stuff, it will all work still. but many newer things have come out since then that will make your life easier)

#

for myself, i usually filter google searches on tech-related things to results from within the last couple years

I'm currently creating a flask tool. But I have tons of <input>'s that the user has to fill in. talking about 100+. And I need to save all those inputs in a database.
But is there a way to do this:
inputField= request.form['exampleInputField']
Much faster? Like instead of doing that for every single input?

native tide Nov 1, 2019, 5:48 AM

#

@hoary spruce idk about flask, I'm just a newbie, but why don't you create a class for these inputs and then do what you want to do with them? You only need to say what's going to happen with this specific class once.

#

I guess the concept of classes is the same in any language

you need a request parser

and then i call it like this inside my class:

native root Nov 1, 2019, 6:10 PM

Your 2FA code seems alright, although there are two issues from what I can see. First is that email is not the best--allowing attachment for something like lastpass authenticator or something might be better. The second is less opinionated, which is that you don't seem to have a reset/ratelimit. Someone can repeatedly try to guess the auth code without triggering a lockout or a code reset

hollow minnow Nov 1, 2019, 6:12 PM

this is for free passwordless accounts that aren't paying for any special services except storing pastes for longer than 1 day, so im not really trying to make it that robust for features for that side. im planning on adding a subscription based account tier eventually with much more capabilities and that will actually have a password and what not so i would have OAuth options there for login with.. type deals.

also keeps the space taken up on my free mongo instance low zoomeyes

@native tide I recommend doing a static blog. The issue with dynamic blogs is, that your attacker has a lot of angles to attack you. I myself use Jekyll for my blog and it serves me well. I have basically my own github pages at home, with a git server on my NAS and a post commit script that runs Jekyll on my Pi to generate the site and then uploads the changes to my webserver via SSH. The attacker has no angle to actually attack my blog, since it is all HTML only. Sure, he can attack the web server, but that is out of my hands. The issue you run then into, is the search, but I have written a REST api point for that and Jekyll generates a SQL file with the content and there is a database for that. But it is so tied down with read only access, an attacker cannot insert anything, even if he got control of the user, because it has no rights to insert anything. So he needs to hack the server, if he wants to do bad things.

#

Overall, using a static blog served me well and I cannot recommend it enough

#

https://jekyllrb.com/

#

There are also static blog generators in Python: https://getnikola.com/

This is my automation script, in case you are interested: https://hastebin.com/cohoguqiki.bash
