@drowsy stratus Can you share your code?
sly canyon
You should share your ajax call
I'm not used to Django, but if you can share code within your your python application that receives the ajax call, it'd be nice too
drowsy stratus
im really dumb how do i attach a file in discord
lavish prismBOT
Hey @drowsy stratus!

@drowsy stratus try using the character below 3 times between the first and lass line of your code, also add the language of the code on the first line after the triple
`
` (grave accent) not " or '
and the language name ( javascript ) should come just after the triple `
drowsy stratus
thx :>
sly canyon
Delete your code andj ust edit it, not to flood the channel :)
Try inserting "javascript" in the first line, without any whitespaces between the triple grave accent and the name of the language
drowsy stratus
wait is that incorrect too
$(window).bind("mousedown", function() {
$.ajax(
{
type:"POST",
url: '{% url 'clickPage' %}',
dataType: 'json',
data:
{
csrfmiddlewaretoken: '{{ csrf_token }}'
},
success: function(data) {
console.log("Success.");
}
});
});```cool, much better
Here's an implementation of an request on my current working personal project, it may help you on that:
$(function() {
$('#mark_all_as_read').bind('click', function() {
// reaload notifications menu
$.post("/notifications/mark_all_as_read").done(function(data) {
$("#notifications-viewer").load(" #notifications-viewer");
$("#pending-notifications-counter").load(" #pending-notifications-counter");
});
return false;
});
});
Your success function is only printing Sucess in the console log, it doesn't seem to be interacting with your application
drowsy stratus
how do i get it to run the correct view from there
sly canyon
what's the route that should receive that post request?
drowsy stratus
I am really new to django, or any web developement, so I thought I gave it a url, the url module would see it and direct it to the correct view
is that what the route is?
or do I not have a correct understanding of django
sly canyon
I really don't know anything about Django 😅
drowsy stratus
What is exactly happening in your code
sly canyon
But I know that: You have to explicitly tell what's the endpoint that will receive that post request
My code only triggers a function in my App that marks all notifications from users as read, so it doesn't really need arguments.
I just need to point to the route
As soon it triggers that route, all notification as marked as read
drowsy stratus
which function triggers the code
sly canyon
This is my routes.py route that receives that POST request
@app.route('/notifications/mark_all_as_read', methods=['POST'])
@login_required
def mark_all_as_read():
for notification in current_user.notifications:
notification.pending = False
db.session.commit()
return(render_template('index.html'))
The javascript function I posted above,
It's bound to an event listener on the element which id = #mark_all_as_read, as soon the user clicks on it it triggers the post request
drowsy stratus
wait so does that post request run the method
sly canyon
Yes, exactly
drowsy stratus
wait, so you need to give the location of the method, and then that post method would run it?
sly canyon
Yup!
drowsy stratus
ok
sly canyon
@drowsy stratus Apparently I'm not completely right. Your code should be working from what I'm currently reading
drowsy stratus
both do not work
sly canyon
Tell me something
Can you hardcode url: '{% url 'clickPage' %}',for me please?
What's the expected out put of this?
drowsy stratus
i was expection to pull out cp
i made it so that if the url was "cp" the page would be redirected to the same template but it would run some script along with that
sly canyon
cp meaning current page?
drowsy stratus
yes the url of the current page
sly canyon
Let me check JInja documentation to check that out
drowsy stratus
what is JInja?
sly canyon
'Jinja is a modern and designer-friendly templating language for Python, modelled after Django’s templates. It is fast, widely used and secure with the optional sandboxed template execution environment'
drowsy stratus
oh so it is the python in html
sly canyon
It's what allows you to build stuff with {{ and { within your templates
drowsy stratus
ok 🙂
actully, in the python terminal, it tells me
[30/Nov/2019 20:08:54] "POST /clickPage HTTP/1.1" 200 669
or the post request
clickPage was the name of the URL i gave in the urls module
sly canyon
@drowsy stratus try {{ request.path }} if you want to point to the current page
Anyways, I forgot to ask you
What's the purpose of your function?
How should the website respond to mousedown
drowsy stratus
so I wanted to make a simple test app for learning django that every time i clicked the page, it will tell me how many times i clicked it. I made a model that would store that value, and every time I clicked i wanted it to add to a value in the model. This was just for me to test if my javascript could interact with the python
also i changed it and it did the same thing
it keeps on loading the default view again and again as well, as i put print() in that method and it writes to the terminal every time i click.
sly canyon
You want to update the number of clicks in your back-end, right?
drowsy stratus
yup :>
sly canyon
Cool
drowsy stratus
i just want to see if i can do a simple task
sly canyon
But "who" is in charge of storing the number of clicks?
drowsy stratus
a model called "pageClicks"
sly canyon
Can you paste it?
drowsy stratus
i gave it one value called "quantity"
and the "quantity" I will add one to, every request that view that i call from the javascript
sly canyon
As I said before, I don't know anything about django. But your Route for that View should somehow be able to capture that event, or should be updated by another source, which should interact with your object pageClicks, if I'm understanding it correctly
drowsy stratus
yah, I want the javascript to run some python
i guess if i can get it to run another way it would be fine
i just want to have a way to know that I know how to communicate the frontend and the backend, so i can work on other projects
sly canyon
Can you draw your process and what's involved with it?
It may help you and me
Somethign like that
drowsy stratus
ok
sly canyon
What interacts with what, in which file, which functions, etc.
sly canyon
Do you want to store it in a database of somekind?
drowsy stratus
oh i should of drawn that
sly canyon
The number of clicks
drowsy stratus
yes that is in a database
that could be referenced and edited by the views
i just cannot get the javascript to run the clickPage method
I cannot get the javascript to respond back to any python
sly canyon
BRB, I'm playing a match

never mind, i figured it out. i just saved it into a json inside one of the flask functions so that when that site is accessed, the json is updated

Has anyone here implemented Flask-GraphQL views?
I'm getting ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'graphql.error.base' and indeed when I check the dir here's the result:

I’m trying to find a third party tool that can help me create a live chat app with flask. Can anyone recommend any? I would prefer to be less on the js side but if it is that’s fine.
sly canyon
@fair wraith Never done, but I think flask-SocketIO is what you're searching for
That may help
winged island
ok never mind, my solution didn't work
i still need help with it
how do i save flask.session into a JSON permanently?
is this even possible?
fair wraith
@sly canyon ya ik about SocketIO but I use python anywhere for hosting and they don’t support it. So I have to use a third party tool 😦
winged island
@fair wraith switch to https://repl.it it's way better
fair wraith
I’ll check it out. But is there any well known third party services that provide for a live chat in flask
sly canyon
Which kind of session are you talking about @winged island ?
A Session from Flask-Session?
winged island
@sly canyon no, just whatever comes when i do flask.session
idk how it all works, really
sly canyon
What kinds of information do you want to store?
winged island
im using youtube data api
so credentials and state
it's already in a dictionary form, i just have to save it before it goes away
sly canyon
@winged island
import json
#....
with open('data.json', 'w') as file:
json.dump(data, file)
right, i know HOW to do it. but wherever i put that code, it either runs AFTER the session has ended OR it just doesn't do anything.
i need to find a place to put that code where it'll actually be properly saved
sly canyon
Where's your request?
sly canyon
You're probably running some javascript request to retrieve data from the API
Is session1 storing anything at all?
sly canyon
@winged island check what's the output of google.oauth2.credentials.Credentials(ytAuthJson['credentials'])
and googleapiclient.discovery.build(API_SERVICE_NAME, API_VERSION, credentials=credentials), because I'm really not sure what is.
I think you should do something like
flask.session['credentials'] = credentials
Or maybe
flask.session['token'] = credentials.token
if it's a class object with some attributes
winged island
hm
yeah
but that's not my problem
i just want to be able to access what WAS in flask.session before i ended the session, and be able to access it AFTER the session has ended
most preferably in JSON format
@sly canyon
sly canyon
But where exactly in your code is there the varible that stores the information that you want to save?
Because I feel really lazy to try reading it all and understand
winged island
flask.session is what i want to save
everything in there
wait, you want to know how the stuff gets INTO flask.session?
that happens in lines 87 and 103
@sly canyon
sly canyon
@winged island but what's the purpose of line 45 then?
winged island
i just wanted to see if i could jsonify it myself
but it hasn't worked
that's why lines 52 and 53 exist
sly canyon
@winged island right, but does dict(flask.session) really returns a dict with the session information?
winged island
yup
it 100% does
i've checked
i don't want to send its output here because it's got credentials inside, which i don't want to reveal
sly canyon
Have you tried
with open("config/ytAuth.json", "w") as f:
json.dump(dict(flask.session, f, indent=4)
?
winged island
yup
sly canyon
What happens?
winged island
it depends on where i put it.
if i put it inside /app it works sometimes
if i put it inside __main__ it doesn't work
if i put it right at the top, it doesn't work because the session hasn't started yet
wait a second
i could just take credentials and state DIRECTLY instead of from the session and just put THAT in a json
right?
sly canyon
Yes
Try saving your state on line 88 and your credentials on line 102
just after you receive it
winged island
@sly canyon it worked! thank you so very much!

Hey, I built an web app using django+react+postgresql that I intend to run it locally. Should I deploy it to an web server like Apache or run it with runserver --insecure ? An max of 5 people will be using it at the same time. It will not be used online, only on local network. If I should deploy it, which web server do you recommend?
Or should I use debug=True, since it will be used only by people on my company
and it will be easier to debug if something happens

So i am using django-oauth-toolkit in order to provide oauth2 authentication for my android application. Now i have to implement social(facebook, google) authentication. And my workflow should be like when user hits signup with facebook button it does authorize successfully thanks to python social auth. So as it is supposed to be, python social auth does create user and it is fine. Now, this case works fine on side of web user. Problem is how can i handle android user tries to login with facebook?, Do i have to pass facebook authorization token to oauth toolkit?

Hello ! I'm coming from desktop (pyside) application development for CGI softwares (maya, modo, nuke, mari), so my knowledge in programming is very specific to that area. Although I'll need soon to develop a web application for managing our film productions data, so with a quite rich UI. Knowing nothing about web development workflow, I'm a bit overwhelmed by my researches so far. I won't ask which tool I should use, I'm only asking if there is somewhere a simple article that you'd recommend that explain the world of web development ? I read about react/vue/angular flask/django, I see about quite scary stacks, but I don't know nor understand who does what. So if you have a nice article explaining the basics for a slow-learning beginner like me, I'd be thankful 🙂

@devout quiver what's your question?
@manic tree I don't know any specific articles sorry, but maybe you could begin with looking up what the diff between front-end and back-end is, if you don't already know the difference

Django / Git question: What is the typical "flow" if you need to make a migration and then commit? Do you 'makemigrations' then 'migrate' then add/commit? Or is the add/commit before migrating? Thanks
proper hinge
Doesn't migrate just apply migrations to the database
and the database of course does not get checked into vcs
so it doesn't really matter
but I suppose it's good to know your migrations successfully get applied before you go ahead and commit them
final fractal
hey guys, I just picked up Flask (we use Django at work and it's a bit of a black box for me, plus it was overkill for what I have in mind). For the Python backend, I use esper (an Entity-Component System). two questions: would you use the database for communicating between the back and the front, or just JSON encoding/decoding? and second, for a text-based game, sort of what is known as MUD or MUSH, would you use DOM or some sort of a canvas-based solution?
I already have a barebones skeleton that uses JSON for communicating and just displays JSON content on the website, but just showing JSON obviously won't scale - I intend to take it at least as far as the Python roguelike tutorial does (Esper example here: https://github.com/abesto/pyrl - so a map, some enemies, player inventory, some usable items, extremely basic combat engine, field of vision and save/load)
I know that technically what I'm thinking is possible, as we have Evennia (https://github.com/evennia/evennia/wiki/Getting-Started) - a full fledged Django-based MU* engine

Hey, i've been searching for a bit for this. Does anyone have a solid tutorial that shows how to set up Vagrant to run a python 3-based web server so I can develop locally?
I'm a C++ dev, not a web or python dev, if that matters.
I was using puphpet for a while, but that was over a year ago, and I'm not familiar enough with configuring that stuff with python (it's puPHPet, after all...) to pick the right settings.
quasi ridge
@odd locust last I checked, vagrant was supsrisingly easy. The tricky bit is choosing a distro.
probably best to choose one you're familiar with
once it's booted and you can ssh in, then it's just linux; and the fact that it's vagrant is irrelevant
odd locust
Yeah I've used it before with php. But not with python.
odd locust
I'm mostly on OS X, never on linux.
Does anyone here have a preferred vagrant config they use when running a VM for developing web apps built with python?
@quasi ridge any thoughts or suggestions?
quasi ridge
I've never done it seriously but I think I just slap in ... uh ... Debian? Lemme look to see if I have some notes about what I last used
I think centos7, mostly because it's vaguely similar to Amazon Linux, which is what I use IRL
odd locust
ok
I'm trying to set it up now, but have no idea what i actually need. I know i'm gonna eventually do some database interaction, so probably gonna need SQLite, but no idea on the CRON jobs or Mongo or whatever other options they allow
quasi ridge
those are all legitimate worries, but your choice of distro, nor how you configure vagrant, probably doesn't matter much; what really matters is what stuff you install with your package manager after you've got vagrant going
quasi ridge
personally I'd make sure I have python3 -- from the package manager, if the provided version is reasonably new -- and pip from the package manager. From then on I'd use pip (or pipenv) to install whatever else you need
you might need to install some libraries like ssl or what-have-you, in case you want to install python modules that have C components

yes it means u should update because the recuirments aren't meth
quasi ridge
@odd locust try pip install --upgrade pip -- that is, use two dashes before "upgrade"
also, in order to get python 3.6, you might need to tell apt to use a repository with newer stuff, or even build python from source
pretty sure there are alternative apt repos that will have python 3.6
debian stable includes python3.7 (https://packages.debian.org/stable/python/) so I think you're using an out of date distro

I mean the fact that the previous version was "none"

lofty matrix
In Django or other web frameworks, say someone uploads a video, the server handles resizing the video, then allows the user to download the processed video (made up example). Should that somehow be transfered back to the user through the static file system? (NGINX transfering the file instead of Django/gunicorn), or is it OK to transfer it straight from Django?
If the former, how does that work in practice?
cerulean vapor
@lofty matrix It sounds like you could just have Nginx handle that part, perhaps by having those kinds of requests fulfilled by a separate subdomain that does nothing but that.
Basically, you do the resize job, place it on a file system according to some naming scheme, send the person a download link, and then route it through some Nginx mapping that does nothing but read from that particular file system, etc.
lofty matrix
That makes sense, thanks. What if I wanted permission to download that file associated with their account, which exists within django? (so if you sent someone else the link, they could not use it) Could django establish the NGINX connection somehow?
cerulean vapor
Are these files things you want downloaded within a particular stretch of time, like a link that expires?
lofty matrix
In this example, yea, they would probably need to be deleted after a few days/hours, but in a different one I could see the link being semi-permanant
Take google drive for example if you're familiar with it. I can send a link to a file, and when someone visits it, it makes sure that they are authorized to view it, maybe they're authorized to edit it. Then the download happens, and the permissions are a part of that somehow
cerulean vapor
As far as permissions go, I think there may be programmability in Nginx that might help with this. I would not be inclined to burden Django with multi-megabyte file transfers all the time (although I suspect the burden would be more about number of connections than amount of data transferred, but I say let Nginx handle what it's best at)
I am not as familiar with Nginx as I need to be to give a good answer, I'm afraid, but I do think it would be best to see how you could have Django configure Nginx, maybe even on a URL-by-URL basis, to check for credentials (maybe by way of an API call)
meager anchor
problem with having django handle that is that one worker won't be able to do anything else while it's streaming a big file. if you have a slow client, that's awful, and nginx can handle that with ease
cerulean vapor
Exactly my thought as well. Django 3.0 now supports async, but I suspect that's not the answer you want to hear :D
native root
There is the potential of passing a "key url" that is unguessable, which wouldn't require manually configuring nginx
cerulean vapor
I think what he wants is for a user's Django credentials to be the key.
lofty matrix
It doesn't necesarily have to be credentials. Maybe it would increment a counter of how many times the file has been accessed. Some sort of processing occurs within django before the file is served. I'm thinking that utlimately it might end up being a unique, unguessable URL that is served by your web server at some level
cerulean vapor
So that's the basic answer, I guess :D But yeah, you don't want to tie up Django with serving large files if you can help it.
At least not until their async story gets a little more robust.
native tide
How do I prevent a logged in user (server/profile/user) from accessing another user's page in Flask. For example if the 'user' user changes the path to 'server/profile/user2' he will be able to see user2's profile. How do I prevent that from happening?
I'm using Flask
Nevermind, solved!

I want to make a Flask project that lets people upload a file and then run Markov Chain text generator on it, and return some amount of generated text. Thats pretty easy to write the code for - but I want to do as much of it as I can to a professional standard - as such I have no idea how to structure the project, are there any good resources which can point me towards a sensible project structure?

this is somewhat a cry for help and also just general whining: does anyone else find the flask infrastructure extremely confusing? It looks like it's in a state of flux where most of the docs (and plugins, and extensions, etc) still reference the old, non-factory style architecture ... but the tutorials and quickstart insist you use the factory method. Makes it sorta hard to transition from the quickstart to doing anything useful, or I am ... really just very stupid
I followed along and implemented the "flaskr" tutorial in the docs using the 'flask run' development server for testing, and I want to test deploying with uWSGI but I'm not actually sure how to bridge that gap right now and can't quite find info in the docs that gets me cooking there
it looks like uwsgi probably does not understand the magic method create_app in the same way that flask run does, so I need some glue code there, but I'm not sure what sort of glue to write, exactly
if anyone has some good reading links or some help to throw my way, I would be really appreciative!

@north perch Flask is one of the simplest frameworks for python IMO. Different frameworks work better with different people depending on their preferred workflow. Many people swear Django is a breeze and very streamlined, yet for me it is one of the most confusing web frameworks across any language I've developed web apps in. I prefer a very barebones DIY starting point that I can build upon, and tweak to my liking. So i tend to use express for node.js apps, and flask for python apps.
For your specific issue
For Linux, Mac, Linux Subsystem for Windows, Git Bash on Windows, etc.:
export FLASK_APP=myapp
export FLASK_ENV=production
flask run
For Windows CMD, use set instead of export:
set FLASK_ENV=production
For PowerShell, use $env:
$env:FLASK_ENV = "production
Then you can wrap your flask app in something liek gevent, flask-socket.io, etc for testing
north perch
specifically I'm trying to figure out what the "right" way to deploy an app with uwsgi is when flask uses the app factory method
I got uwsgi -w flaskr:create_app() to work but am not sure if this method has any drawbacks that I might not be aware of
most of the tutorials do not assume you are using the app factory method

Many do, they have a setup similar to what's found here https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/patterns/appfactories/

And to reiterate, this code runs perfectly fine locally
native root
Are you starting it locally via the same gunicorn command?
Because that won't work-- gunicorn must be passed the flask app, not the socketio adapter
In your case, that's web_app @native tide
native tide
locally, I was just using the flask development server, not gunicorn. but changing it to web_app now makes it run, I think all thats left is for me to add socketio config data into nginx so this is a huge leap forward in progress. I thought I'd have to send socketio and not my flask app because it is "wrapped" with socketio
but thank you very much for your answer

I even tried to override by css but no result have anybody face this issue before ?

@unique willow try using the dev tools in your browser and inspect the navbar element in order to see what's causing it to behave like that. That way you can see the Styles applied to it and the source files containing those. You can then delete or alter the code to know what to do in order to fix it.
You may be using class = d-flex flex-column as a wrapper and it's causing it to be a vertical container

I have a webpage where my Django backend is creating a bunch of <a href> links via a Jinja template. Based on whichever link the user clicks on, I want to make a jQuery AJAX call to a specific URL, but I need to differentiate which <a href> link the user clicked on. In Javascript, you'd do something like onClick="myFunc(x,y)", where x and y are unique per <a href> - how do you do this in jQuery? I get that I can figure out what they clicked on by the $this - would I just store a couple of variables in the <a href var1="x" var2="y"> and access it that way?

If you have a custom tag on the href, $("[my_custom_tag]").click()

A rather simple question that I can't seem to find the answer to. How can I access the body of a POST request within python when executed as cgi under apache?

@mossy maple use the cgi module
if you're not doing that, post request body is in stdin though
rigid laurel
Does apache/whatever really just feed requests to stdin?
That's probably the kind of thing I should know
polar wasp
that's how CGI works
bunch of stuff goes in environment variables, request body goes in stdin
rigid laurel
Oh sure. I didn't realise that, definitely the kind of thing I sold have known
polar wasp
Data input to the CGI script
As there may be a data entity attached to the request, there must be
a system defined method for the script to read this data. Unless
defined otherwise, this will be via the `standard input' file
descriptor.There will be at least CONTENT_LENGTH bytes available for the script
to read. The script is not obliged to read the data, but it must not
attempt to read more than CONTENT_LENGTH bytes, even if more data is
available.

django has a ton of features, particularly database stuff; afaik, flask is leaner. I personally have only used flask for routing
vestal estuary
From experimenting with each, I have noticed that with flask you basically have to build a lot of the functionality that Django has by default. With Django you basically have to play by its rules, often by overriding it. However, it saves a ton of work compared to flask because that stuff is already coded. It is just a matter of learning it.
That said... One thing that royally irritates me about django is that I feel like it violates the DRY principle. You want to make a form? Well you'll need to create a models.py (and also used in migrations file) and state every field with their types. Then you make the forms.py which you again have to refer to the model and specify each field. Then, in the view, if there are any special cases you have to specify them once again. It's a pain. And it makes me feel dirty when I do it.
native tide
What's the DRY principle?

Don't Repeat Yourself
Generally, it means that you should not be writing the same thing in two places, but more abstractly it can mean "If I want to change a distinct detail, that detail should be specified in only one place"

@cyan wolf reboot your running process
cyan wolf
Will do
sly canyon
You probably have debug mode on and have re-done some stuffi n your code
And you're probably using flask-user
sly canyon
I think you can list running processes with pgrep -f python on bash
Then just kill -9 [id]
and try flask run again
If for some reason there's still a flask task running in the background

Cool, GL

with inputs, what's the difference between Name and ID?
like something like this:<input type="email" name="Email" id="Email" />
native root
id is the HTML id you can access via javascript and css
name is the name that it will be submitted as
You are not permitted to have duplicate id's, but you may have duplicate name's
Radio buttons, for example, use the name attribute to link to each other, and the Razor Pages C# web framework merges elements with the same name into a list of values on the backend side
I believe flask's WTForms does it similarly
fast quartz
it needs to have a name to be added to the URL/GET method right?

So... I have a CRAZY idea but I'm having trouble installing everything to make it work.

Hey, I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but can someone help me on this? I have some software I'll be coding with Django, and I want to host that software on a server and rent it out to people on a month-by-month subscription. So software as a service basically. What I'm wondering is what e-commerce platform I should use for this. I know there's platforms like WagTail, but it seems like a huge waste of time to re-invent the wheel and build a website from scratch using wagtail. It seems easier to just build a site to handle the account registration/subscriptions with something like Wix/Shopify, and then use an API in Python to authenticate through those services and confirm the subscription is valid.
I've been googling this for weeks and am stumped. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

I'd be surprised if AWS didn't have something to help with that, but a) it might be pretty complex, and aimed for larger businesses; b) I have no idea which of the eleventy bazillion of their products it would be

@patent cobalt How do you guys manage the api tokens, like where do you store them. text files seems unreliable
patent cobalt
I'm not intimately familiar with the devops part of our set-up, but we use salt to expose our secrets to just the places where those type of configurations need to be known
ashen trench
i have a refresh token that expires each 24 hours and an access token that expires each 5 minutes
confused what to do with it.
Problem could be solved if i use a separate database to store both of them , but some says then what's the point of api
patent cobalt
So, the tokens give access to your own api?
ashen trench
the trick part is i need to keep updating them at regular intervals, if i use .env or store with in the running instance there is a chance for the bot failing all together if the code by chance restarts
yeah
patent cobalt
Okay, we use a way of authenticating the bot to the API that has a longer lifetime
more similar to how Discord lets bots authenticate
ashen trench
the website exposes the api , it deals with my main database.
i use rest. so i can set the refresh token to never expire ?
patent cobalt
How you can do that probably depends on the back-end you're using. We're using Django REST Framwork for our API.

I am too

Is it a bad idea to nest functions in your route to make the code cleaner?
Or is there a betteer way to make your routes function cleaner?
Using flask btw
hollow glacier
It's not really a question for how to
So I don't have any code for it right now
But if I do. Do I still separate stuff with functions and if so where do I put the functions?
@vagrant adder
vagrant adder
it depends what kind of functions we are talking
hollow glacier
Let's say I want to do something with one set of users. DO I put the code part in a function?

@main.route("/")

return render_template("main.html", data=data, posts=posts)
this is accepted

I was thinking something like:
@app.route("/")
def index():
def do_somthing(user):
user.status = new_status
user.mood = new_mood
return render_template("main.html", data=data, posts=posts)
If that makes any sense

Hi
I am currently learning Django
Can anybody suggest me any Django projects for beginner or to get started
random kiln
Hi. I am learning flask (and still quite new to programming and to python).
I added a feature to one of my projects: a admin can upload a file, the file will be validated and cleaned, then sent to be processed. This process take quite a long time (from a few minutes to a couple of hours). I would like to 1/ let the function run in the background 2/ make it possible for the user to follow the progress of the function.
When I google around, most people suggest using Celery (or Redis). I don't want to use that for this particular project, as it's only for a specific function, that only the admin can start, and that should be used only like once a month. It looks to me that opening a new thread should be the best option, but I can't find good guide or example. Could anyone point me to a direction?
I was thinking maybe using asyncio, but my head hurts
(to be more specific, the file will contain a large list of items (json, xml, csv), and the process will fetch additional data using various api or scraping. It takes a lot of time, but shouldn't be a problem to follow the progress.... like "now fetching infos for item 1 on 780", etc.)

@vagrant adder do you need nginx if you're already using gunicorn? 🤔 I mean are those 2 not solving the same problems?

guys, having a little problem with html and css
my elements are not positioning right, i guess i'm putting it wrong in html setting divs
hey guys, i'm new at html + css and i'm having a little problem on positioning blocks on my page, i mean, i end up achieving, but the margins are all unequal
i create a div called box, then i set width and height. this would be the main frame, holding everything inside it, but when i create another div, let's name box-left and another named box right, they both should be side to side, i put it inside like :
< div class="box">
<div class="box-left">
</div>
<div class="box-right">
</div>
</div>
consider that the box right have a float to be at right
when i continue adding elements, they start to be crazy

@wild thunder use flex for layouts. And divs are display block so it'll be vertically aligned. You need to use span or display inline for having elements aligned horizontally. But really, if you do not have IE requirement, use flex for everything. (Kinda)

hey guys
i'm having a little problem with flex
could someone give me a hint
please check those 2 blocks with 01 and 02 content
i'm using flex in the white frame behind them
to put them both side to side
but they keep going one over another
native root
They can't go over each other unless you're using a transform: translate, negative margins, or position: to make them do so. But if you haven't specified margins they could be just shoved right against each other
wild thunder
<div class="structure">
<section id="estrutura">
<article class="main-info"> 01 </article> <!-- the bigger block should be left -->
<article class="user-on"> 02 </article> <!-- the bigger block should be right -->
</section>
</div>
If you have a third element in the flexbox it could conceivably look like that
wild thunder
this is the html

lavish prismBOT
native root
position: absolute;
That's on both main-info and user-on
And as far as I can tell, doesn't need to be on anything here
wild thunder
but if i put relative, they become a line
native root
Isn't that what you're going for?
wild thunder
no, i want them to ocupate 12%
it's not accepting percentage as height
i want these 2 blocks to be 2 containers
the idea is ok
native root
% height is relative to the height of the parent element, or the nearest one without height: auto
But here, you've not specified height on anything
so it goes all the way up to the body tag, and that also has height auto
so it doesn't set the height
If you're aiming for something that's not going to scroll, you can set the body+html tags to height: 100%, and that would work. Or, you could use vh as your unit, which means "percent of height of browser window"
wild thunder
.main-info { /* Inside Structure */
width: 78%;
height: 13%;
margin: 1%;
background-color: rgb(197, 197, 197);
border: 1px solid black;
order: 1;
}
.user-on { /* Inside Structure */
width: 21%;
height: 13%;
margin: 1%;
margin-left: 0%;
background-color: rgb(197, 197, 197);
border: 1px solid black;
order: 2;
}
they have heigth, based on the ".structure"
native root
Which has an auto height, so it keeps looking upwards
native root
which then makes it 13%, of 96%, of the body? Which is still auto
wild thunder
stills the same
how can i make these 2 boxes become 13% of structure?
that is the white frame
?
native root
<section id="estrutura"> needs a height: 100%

i'm studying html + css to make some relation with python
i was trying to study django
but it was not making any sense to me
the views + urls
i was not getting
native root
Well, I work with django, so I'm sure I can answer any of your questions related to that :P
views + urls are separate concepts/details
a view is a python function that constructs a response to send to the browser, a url is a route or path, for example, "https://mysite.com/asdf/123/blog-post"
the asdf/{id for post}/blog-post-title is the route/url--anything that comes in and matches it will be sent to a specific view function, which then does the responding
wild thunder
okay
it's making more sense now, even why i'm in html, the urls section is "equivalent" to put an "href" in a page?
native root
Yes, pretty much

Is it a good idea to use model methods or whatever they're called with flask-sqlalchemy?
(like this)

name = db.Column(db.String(30), nullable=False)
created_at = db.Column(db.DateTime, nullable=False, server_default=db.text("CURRENT_TIMESTAMP"))
updated_at = db.Column(db.DateTime, nullable=False, server_default=db.text("CURRENT_TIMESTAMP"))
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
@classmethod
def create(cls, **kw):
obj = cls(**kw)
db.session.add(obj)
db.session.commit()```I currently have the following code to hold static images: @app.route('/avatars/<path:filename>') def get_avatar(filename): return send_file("static\\img\\" + filename, mimetype='image')
I want to try and add a way for the size to be changeable for example like this: {{ url_for('get_avatar', filename='d.jpg', width=100, height=100) }} So something like /avatars/d.jpg?width=100,height=100 (Example)
Is there any way I can accomplish this? Help is appreciated! Thanks!
vagrant adder
@hollow glacier don't do that
delete __init__ and create function
that init method is already done under the hood
and create() way of instancing is not preferred for flask-sqlalchemy
just do
user = User()
db.session.add(user)
db.session.commit()
if you do print(use.name) you get its name

Django on the other hand is a batteries included web framework which already implements most of the stuff that you could need out of box (authentication etc.).
ooh nice. So the website i build with Flask, I can build with Node JS too? replacing Flask with Node JS
You can replace a node api with a flask api
You could built a react frontend and connect to any of those two
I see you're already going with Django, just stick to it, it's great for learning and can built solid products
nah i'll stick with Flask

Hi everyone
I'm new to the python world
I'd like to create a rest API, and vue as the front end
I'm a bit lost on the options... should I go with Flask or FastAPI ?
There seems to be minimal amount of info regarding a rest api with Flask, the first google hit is an article from 2013
Coming from the PHP world with Laravel, the python web dev world seems much smaller or difficult to find good resources 🤔
vagrant adder
i would say take a look at flask, docs and community forums are great
it's extremely easy to piece an api with both of them
i have been fiddling with flask about a year now and i can say i am glad i took flask
iirc @gleaming herald did some fastapi stuff, i think he can help you out if you get stuck with fastapi
native tide
Cool
What resources did you use to build a rest api with just flask ?
because the flask mega tutorial shows a lot more than just a rest api
And isn't very tailored towards making a rest api, more like a backend-heavy app
vagrant adder
mega flask is a good tutorial if you are building a corporate website
its huge lol
i followed corey schafer's flask tutorial series to get to know flask
after that it just comes to a lot of googling
native tide
The problem with FastAPI is that one guy has like 600 commits and then the others have like 10 commits
Same thing with Starlette
So I'm like ok.... if that guy isnt interested anymore I acquired all this knowledge for a dead framework
vagrant adder
not sure about that
also forgot to mention
there are 2/3 ways to build a rest api with flask
- old school way
- fiddling with a lot of request arguments and
if request.method == "POST":stuff
- flask-restful
-make models and resources and let the flask-restful do the routing and other heavy lifting
3)flask-restless
- basically cheating but not a lot of customization available
native tide
And flask-restplus ?
vagrant adder
technically the same thing as restless
abstracting your models behind the Resource object
same thing done twice

with oauth just a tad
jwt is on my bucket list

What about django ?

My bad I'm a bit lost with all the options lol

@native tide Flask is very minimal, you gotta use plugins to get all the features that Django has built in. Flask is a easier to learn and bring up, Django has quite a learning curve. If you're looking for fine control, I would look more into flask, otherwise check out Django.
This is a good article on the topic, which is the author is pretty neutral on: https://testdriven.io/blog/django-vs-flask/
native tide
Thanks for the article
@lone cave, it cleared up a couple things for me
Do you think this is still a good starting point ?
Even if it was written in 2013
I just can't wrap my head around the fact that the most comprehensive thing I've found was written in 2013
How can python and flask be so popular yet so weird to find info for ?
lone cave
@native tide Haha yeah I hear ya. I think people tend to associate web development with JavaScript these days. Python is great for backend though, my team at work has Python running a server-less architecture on AWS (Lambda) right now. Yeah the author of the article you posted (Miguel) is great, he's pretty well known in the Python community.
I would take it a step further and use Gunicorn as the web server (super easy to bake in) . Also once you get through some basic projects, check out: https://github.com/zalando/connexion
Keep in mind, Python is almost 30 years old, don't worry too much if articles seem a little old. Medium is a good source for technical articles as well.
native tide
@lone cave you think people favor node over python ? I'm not a fan of the npm ecosystem
The number of dependencies for anything is staggering
Though I use Vue on the frontend
That I enjoy
I want to do a rest api with python as the backend and vue as the frontend
Thing is I'm 21 and I wanted to pick a new language, I've been using PHP for a while but a friend told me it could actually hurt my resume to know it lol
Because of the negative bias it has
I already know Vue
So my plan was to learn Python as my backend language, and then Typescript for the javascript side of things
Should be pretty set with those skills
lone cave
@native tide If you already know JavaScript pretty well, I would just use it for the whole stack (Ex: Node, Vue, Express and whatever DBs). If you're looking to learn a new language and you don't know a statically typed language, check out Golang!
lone cave
Ohh okay, cool. Then yeah, can't go wrong with Python!
last light
@native tide why Vue?
native tide
@last light shipped by default with Laravel and pleasant to work with
I'm open to learning react in the future if needed but for now I just want to move on as quickly as possible to Python and Typescript
And Vue 3 is coming out soon which will bring support for Typescript
In montreal there are quite a few typescript jobs
Apart from that
The reason I went with Laravel first is cause the tooling is so amazing
With Laravel Mix you don't have to learn webpack, you just pass it a couple options and it compiles the libraries you want, with postCSS (minify, remove unused css, etc.)
