in wtforms with a selectmultiplefield and want to make sure the user is selecting at least n options from the available choices. is that something that would require a custom validator?

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 8:33 AM

#

Can you elaborate?

weary arrow Jan 20, 2020, 9:08 AM

#

a selectmultiplefield like this. I'd like to make sure at least 2 options are selected

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

Can you show what you've done in terms of code?

weary arrow Jan 20, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

forms.py

class PairForm(FlaskForm):
    origin = SelectField(u'Origin', choices=symbols,coerce=str)
    destination = SelectField(u'Destination', choices=symbols, coerce=str)
    languages = SelectMultipleField(u'Languages', choices=languages, coerce=str )
    distance = FloatField('Distance')


class PairsForm(FlaskForm):
    pairs = FieldList(FormField(PairForm), min_entries=len(config_file))
    submit = SubmitField('Save')

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 9:35 AM

I think you are gonna have to write custom validator

hi guys, i'm all new to python, i am a beginner in c#, know some html/css etc. i want to make a small website based on python. I installed the Python add-ins to VisualStudio, now i see that almost all Python Web Projects use Bootstrap, is there a "beginner friendly" web framework? I can choose between these frameworks: Web Project (only Python), Django, Flask, Bottle & Flask/Jade. Could you help me decide? Thanks in advance! 🙂

native tide Jan 20, 2020, 11:12 AM

#

Get into Flask or Django, they are mostly used and have a bunch of tutorials online

#

also I recommend using some kind of a text editor since you will mostly be running instances of local servers

#

as for frontend you can do fine with just bootstrap, but I'd recommend getting into Javascript and a framework if you want to do web development

round kraken Jan 20, 2020, 12:32 PM

#

Thanks for the answer @native tide. I just wanna get this project up and running for now, but thanks, if i really want to get into web-dev, i'll look into js more! 🙂

marsh canyon Jan 20, 2020, 12:37 PM

#

id say dont worry much about the frontend, concentrate on the backend first, html and css should be satisfactory while learning backend @round kraken

tranquil robin Jan 20, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

I have a different opinion, I am currently working on a project, and because I dont know enough css and html my front-end development is very slow, cause I cant get things to work properly

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

@round kraken flask is very beginner friendly and corey schafer has very good tutorial series

#

And i see you are another fellow croatian in this server :))

round kraken Jan 20, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

@vagrant adder not croatian, but fellow european 🙂 how did you get to that conclusion? ^^

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

Because croatian is literally same

#

I can translate that for ya if you want

round kraken Jan 20, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

@marsh canyon Will do, thanks!

#

damn.. i've always created websites by hand (that's how we learned html/css), flask makes everything 100% more intuitive, it makes html fun again 🙂 so glad i found this.

cloud path Jan 20, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

guys, I was using a database for testing, while developing a web application with flask and sql-alchemy, now i need to replace that database with another database (always sql), can you tell me an online tutorial for how to replace a database with another?

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

So you are changing from let's say, mysql to postgres?

cloud path Jan 20, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

no i'm changing from sqlite to mysql

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

Alright

#

It's usually just chainging the database uri thingy in config

cloud path Jan 20, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

but now I have to use a database that has given me a friend of mine who works with me and i don't know where to put this .sql file

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

Just put it in the same folder as your sqlite db

#

And delete sqlite and change uri in the config

cloud path Jan 20, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

yes.. but a little complicated, I created it at the command line with flask, and I don't find it lol

#

📎 unknown.png

#

this is the config

#

for the old database

#

sqlite

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

Alright

#

Can you find app.db database file in file explorer

cloud path Jan 20, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

ah cool! it found it, in the project's main folder

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

Can i see that .sql file you got?

cloud path Jan 20, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

yes, I send it to you in dm?

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

Sure

#

Okay, so thet file is a sql script that creates the table

cloud path Jan 20, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

mm yes i think

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

And db.create_all() creates the same exact thing

#

You said you want to migrate to mysql

cloud path Jan 20, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

mm so do I only need to take the names of the tables? shouldn't I put the file anywhere?

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

Proper way to do that is to setup a mysql server, create a user and database manually

#

The file you got isn't really needed

cloud path Jan 20, 2020, 2:44 PM

#

ah ok but I can also stay in sqlite, but i have to make sure that my web app makes changes to its database when it will be on its vps

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

What vps you are using

frigid egret Jan 20, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

Hi all. I have a problem with creating nested objects in DRF. I have described it in #help-coconut . Should I post it again here?

cloud path Jan 20, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

I still don't know very well but it is based on linux, but it is already in the tutorial that I am following the guide to migrate on linux, but one thing:

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

I mean, what vps provider are you using

#

Heroku, digital ocean, linode, pythonanywhere

cloud path Jan 20, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

ah sorry, it's a private server

#

but if I change the names of the attributes that I am using in the web app with those of the sql database, when the web app is on the vps connected to my friend's database, should it work?

#

and the code of my "models.py" will no longer be needed?

#

like this:

#

📎 unknown.png

#

the server is not from a provider, another friend owns it

#

at his home

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

Yes you would still need models

#

So sqlalchemy knows what the hell to query under the hood

#

Every time after you change attributes in models.py you need to db.drop_all() and db.create_all()

#

So the point of sqlalchemy is to remove raw sql in any shape or form

#

That's what ORMs usually do

cloud path Jan 20, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

mmm do I need to make my models the same as my friend's database?

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 3:06 PM

#

So the thing is, when you enter the database uri in your SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI and do drop_all() snd create_all(), you are effectively changing database definition to match it to your models

#

There isn't any need and point in changing anything except SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI in config

cloud path Jan 20, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

ah, perfect, but one thing: I did not understand how the ORM knows that my password_hash in my model corresponds to acc_password of the database connected later

#

for example

#

or 'username' to 'acc_username'

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

So, in your file your friend defined some tables blah blah

#

Once you do.db.drop_all();db.create_all() will override those with ones defined in your models

#

Don't worry about the file, it isn't relevant

I have a 404 page, and I want to modify the contents of the html (to include {% extent ... %} and {% include %} ) but only if a user is logged in / authenticated.
the 404 page is an errorhandler , and I am currently using Flask

#

is there a way to do that?

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

yes there is an errorhandler in flask, mind explaining what you want in bit more detail?

tranquil robin Jan 20, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

the error page is basically an a small <div> with text in the center of a page

#

I want to load the navbar.html and layout.html only if the user is logged in

#

i usually load these htmls into any other using {% extend layout.html %} and {% include navbar.html%}

native tide Jan 20, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

I'm gonna try to finish a "my first django app" thing today. The file structure is so ugly. I wish therere didnt hvae to be a project with folder of the same name in it and then an app in that. I dont see why its so much folders.

#

it's like... at least two inwards paths into what ive created so far

#

I can look at the absolute path

#

and see the same folder name inside of each other

#

that is never sensibler lol

#

maybe it will make sense as i keep doing it

#

But I wouldnt be surprised if i alwasy thinks this file strucuture is a mess

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

the whole django is a structured mess

native tide Jan 20, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

I can see very early on but thats ok. So am i

#

The guy I have teaching me right nos is not the guy I need.

#

He doesnt explain why he does things often enough.

#

But it happens

#

is render() a django thing only?

tranquil robin Jan 20, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

does the Flask WTForms StringField() not allow special inputs? when I try to search with "the" or "for" I get the value of form.search.data = None instead of form.search.data = for

#

this seems to happen for anything shorter than 4 characters

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

so form.search.data is None if user enters something than 4 characters?

tranquil robin Jan 20, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

something less than 4 yes

vagrant adder Jan 20, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

https://wtforms.readthedocs.io/en/stable/validators.html

take a look at validators.Length

tranquil robin Jan 20, 2020, 7:53 PM

👋

native tide Jan 20, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

I'm having troble figuring out why my bootstrap and css are getting 404s in local host when I view the source and click them it appears.

#

But there are things different about this

#

this templating language and loading static

#

and obviously with this many folders everywhre

#

you're going to struggle with this

#

So why its that way i dont know

#

📎 unknown.png

#

weird

trail thunder Jan 20, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

i'm sorry, i didn't understand any of that well. what's the issue and what are you trying?

native tide Jan 20, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

So I'm using Django for the first time and there is this templating language of like

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static './todo/bs/css/flatly.min.css' %}" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static './todo/styles.css' %}" />

I dont really know if that is the source of the problem. Im literally just copying an example first projerct but something isngt right and its not getting the paths right to these css files.

#

it might have to do with running it localhost

trail thunder Jan 20, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

it's called Jinja yes, but i've never seen css used like that. i only have experience with flask and it's a pretty straightforward bootstrap implementation, sorry

native tide Jan 20, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

Its okay. YEah, Im familiar with that Jinja exists but not enough to know how to get it to work when it doesnt.

#

Its weird

#

Because if I view source on my unstyled html

#

and click the link to the stylesheets

#

they go to where they would go to you would think

#

in otherwords they load the file in the browser

#

📎 unknown.png

#

Okay so this bloody wild

#

view-source:http://127.0.0.1:8000/bs/css/flatly.min.css --- this will load the text for the file

#

http://127.0.0.1:8000/bs/css/flatly.min.css this will 404

#

📎 unknown.png

#

any ideas?

#

It seems to definitely hav something to do with a configuration i have somewhere that im new to

#

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('todo.urls'))

#

the weird thing here though

#

is it calls that file project.urls

#

bit its not

#

its urls.py inside of project

#

project is a dir

#

is that wrong?

#

📎 unknown.png

#

Maybe I need a better instructor...

#

Maybe I should do flask lol

#

wait there is no way that / after admin can be right

#

is it?

#

regarless of what it is

#

the problem is 100% this instructor who just shows us what he is doing and not why he is doing it or what it affects

#

tranquil robin Jan 20, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

@native tide I don't know if Jinja in django works exactly the same as Jinja2 in Flask, but when I put in the css using jinja2 i did it this way

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='styles/base.css') }}">

#

but i dont know if the jinja for django is a different version or has different syntax or not

native tide Jan 20, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

I definitely remember when I looked at Flask... that is how I did it as well I think because that looks familiar from when I looked at it. But... yeah, the problem is that Im copying an example of a guy who is not bothering to explain it.

#

So I have to try another example

#

like its my first one

#

i have to assume it will work

tranquil robin Jan 20, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

🙂

native tide Jan 20, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

I could be wrong about this

#

But I believe that {{ }} in jinja means

#

get this value

#

and {% %} means do this logic

#

am i wrong?

tranquil robin Jan 20, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

yes thats correct

native tide Jan 20, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

well the logic is correctly sending what I think would be the url

tranquil robin Jan 20, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

then maybe jinja in django is different than that of Flask 🙂

trail thunder Jan 20, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

should be the exact same. unless they're using different versions of jinja, jinja is jinja

native tide Jan 20, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

its def more or less the same jinja. jinja is just powerful and can do a lot of things in different ways

#

GET /bs/js/bootstrap.min.js

#

This was in my console

#

if thats all its trying to get obviously its a 404

#

But like...

#

Its just weird. And I cant really make sense of it because this is my first example of this and i dont know what anything means. But im gonna do thorough reading i guess and just chill today im too tired to start a new thing unfortunately

#

I wish that when you got into more advanced topics that there were still people writing all these books to teach you lol

tranquil robin Jan 20, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

hmm, well I think that if you learn the basics correctly, you should be able to handle the more difficult stuff cause you should now understand what your doing and what you want

#

the problem is at the beginning when you dont know what your doing and you dont know what your allowed to and not allowed to do

native tide Jan 20, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

yeah, I am capable of figuring it out. But.. I will say

#

That this framework thing is way different than anything else in Python I have done

#

So it is a new thing

#

Buit ill get it

#

TBH

#

one of my worst flaws is that I dont allow myself to be aware when i am too tired to be trying to do something new still. Like Ill go from rested and productive to...

#

"Oh right... I bett my mind will work better later."

Hey guys, actually I have two questions regarding single topic:
I have following application: Scrapy(scheduled scraping + data processing) + Django(simple visualization of scraped data), the questions are:

how would you separate those architectural components? Former developer simply put all of it (django+scrapy+mysql) on single 5$ server and runs scraping via cron - it was understandable in the beginning(low cost). But it's not ok from scalability perspective of course. I thought about adding Celery beat and celery worker, but it can be an overkill for simple scheduled scraping. I think that also scraping + data processing on web server is also not acceptable(maybe Im wrong). Do you have some ideas?
Which hosting for such application would you recommend? It's docker based and low cost is important factor here

Thanks

teal comet Jan 21, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

@lucid night how big is your scale really?

#

if you're really handling massive data and think you won't be able to handle everything on a single server, consider using kubernetes

#

you will have to put each part of these components into different docker containers, which you will be able to launch whenever you want

#

it has a feature called cronjobs, allowing to schedule some regular tasks: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/cron-jobs/

CronJob

#

most major hosts (google cloud, aws, digital ocean, linode...) offer managed kubernetes nowadays

#

however, if you just struggle with a 5$ DO server, maybe just consider buying a larger server at the start before jumping to distributed architecture, kubernetes and all that

lucid night Jan 21, 2020, 12:52 PM

#

Thank you @teal comet for suggestion.
How would you handle such split(scrapy separated from Django models)?
In fact, going for bigger server could be ok but it was POC from former developer, soon traffic can grow to ~1000users per day and requirement was to prepare for that 🙂

teal comet Jan 21, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

There's no single answer to that, especially since I don't really know what you're doing
I would two docker containers

one running scrappy, controlled by a cronjob
one running django, controlled by a deployment
both would probably communicate by sharing a common database (either managed or in a third container)

#

also thoursands of users per day can be easily handled by running one or two large server, unless you're doing some extremely CPU intensive tasks idk

lucid night Jan 21, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

That's good idea, my question was not precise - would you redefine DB models in scrapy container - or is there any other way to reuse it?

teal comet Jan 21, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

both work actually, you can either redefine models in the scrapy container or share a common codebase between the two containers
having multiple repositories will bring you more flexibility and might be easier for large orgs
otoh being in a monorepo makes it easier to avoid code duplication and might allow you to get a faster time to market if you're a small org

Having a bit of trouble figuring out what exactly I'm looking for here. I've created a custom website with Flask, however, it's not exactly the ideal medium, as it's basically a static site that rarely changes. I was mostly using Flask to interface with the jinja2 templating engine, because I have a lot of individual pages that I'd rather not create by hand. I'm looking for a sort of program that can be executed once and it will generate a static site based off of templates and given data. I researched static site generators and they don't seem to be what I'm looking for - as they seem to be based around blogs, but this site isn't a blog. Static site generators also seemed to be geared towards creating a site off of a pre-existing theme. Rather than that, I'm looking for a program that is able to generate hundreds of pages off of an input so that I don't have to do it by hand, but also, take completely custom HTML and CSS. Does anyone have any advice?

vagrant adder Jan 22, 2020, 6:20 AM

#

So you wamt a boilerplate generator?

#

Something that will get you started?

cinder hatch Jan 22, 2020, 6:21 AM

#

Not exactly, if I'm understanding your correctly. Rather looking for something that will generate the entire site off of info I provide.

vagrant adder Jan 22, 2020, 6:23 AM

#

Oof, think that isn't possible

#

There are flask_cookiecutter and such but that is just a basic template for a project structure

native root Jan 22, 2020, 7:05 AM

#

I don't see why you couldn't implement something like this yourself

#

jinja2 itself is very easy to hook into, you simply create an environment, load your templates, and begin rendering and saving to files as you go. I've done hookups to various data services for this, and it works quite well for static sites like you describe

#

ultimately, the data format is almost always custom, and so you'll have to do the translation of data -> template variables yourself. If the data also encodes what pages to generate, really you should probably write a short script that simply formats the data into template variables and calls into jinjas render, then saves it to a file

#

Something of the format:

#

def generate_for_data(dest, data):
  return template.render(etc)

for page in pages_to_generate:
  with open(out, "w") as f:
    f.write(generate_for_data(page, data[page]))

#

works well enough. Jinja is fast enough that unless you've got some massive sites I would expect fraction-of-a-second render times, so there's really no reason to cache

I created a boilerplate generator, but that's only foundation for the app

please read up on how these things work, before you make something like that

#

I know you are a beginner and I am struggling not being dismissive here, but seriously, please read a book or a tutorial or something.

#

I suggest starting with flask, making simple web pages with templates, then logins

#

and learn about why javascript is unsafe and why credentials need to be validated by a server

#

in short: Javascript is something the user can change and block at any time

dapper sage Jan 23, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

I don't plan on using this for a large database, and do you know why it doesn't work, though?

tired root Jan 23, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

first thing I see is that login() is not within quotes

#

onClick="login()"

#

Also, validateCredentialsUsername is never set

#

Same as validateCredentialsPassword

dapper sage Jan 23, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

Hmm

tired root Jan 23, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

You don't really call that function anywhere

#

it would need to be something like javascript function login(){ inputUsername=prompt("Username") inputPassword=prompt("Password") validateCredentials(inputUsername,inputPassword) }

dapper sage Jan 23, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

Yeah, I was trying to figure out why the login function didn't work before I continued

#

So to invoke a function you need to put it in quotes, correct?

#

invoke/call

native tide Jan 23, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

what does "prompt" do

astral saddle Jan 24, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

prompt creates a dialog box on the window

#

it is a global variable, coming from the window object

#

also, you cannot return more than one value in JS from a function

#

return inputUsername,inputPassword

#

that line therefore is nonsensical

#

and then, even if you had login() in quotes, it would still be wrong

#

onClick="login()" will simply execute login on page load and so clicking the button will do nothing

#

you would want onclick="login" (no parens) or better yet, use .addEventListener

#

I also see that your if statements don't have parentheses. In JS, if, while, and for headers need parentheses

if validateCredentialsUsername=="correctUsername"{

#

you should instead do

if (validateCredentialsUsername == "correctUsername") {

#

validateCredentials is also never called. Therefore, the alert will never pop up

#

instead of returning from login, you may want to call validateCredentials

#

function login(){
  inputUsername=prompt("Username")
  inputPassword=prompt("Password")

  validateCredentials(inputUsername, inputPassword)
}

#

@dapper sage

#

You also may find better help in servers specifically for JS as the people here are less likely to know much about it

Scanned the documentation all the examples contained pre-defined json body but mine is not pre-defined

guys

#

if i log in into my website, it says this:

#

📎 unknown.png

#

but I logged in, and with an existing account in the database

#

this is the code:

#

def login():
    if current_user.is_authenticated:
        return redirect (url_for('index'))
    form = LoginForm()
    if form.validate_on_submit():
        user = db.session.query(accounts).filter_by(acc_username=form.username.data, acc_password=form.password.data).first()
        if user is None:
            flash('Username o password errati')
            return redirect(url_for('login'))
        login_user(user, remember=form.remember_me.data)
        next_page = request.args.get('next')
        if not next_page or url_parse(next_page).netloc !='':
            next_page = url_for('index')
        return redirect(next_page)
        return redirect(url_for('index'))
    return render_template('login.html', title='Login', form=form)```

#

this is models.py:

#


class accounts(UserMixin, Base):
    __tablename__ = "accounts"

    def __repr__(self):
        return "User {}".format(self.acc_username)

Base.prepare(db.engine, reflect=True)

characters = Base.classes.characters

@login.user_loader
def load_user(acc_id):
    return db.session.query(accounts).get(acc_id)```

tranquil robin Jan 25, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

i didn't use Flask a lot, but from my knowledge, you need to define the class properties under the __tablename__

#

so something like this.....

#

  class Flight(db.Model):
      __tablename__ = "flights"
      id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
      origin = db.Column(db.String, nullable=False)
      destination = db.Column(db.String, nullable=False)
      duration = db.Column(db.Integer, nullable=False)

cloud path Jan 25, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

yes I know, but I used the auto_map function that defines them automatically in case the database already exists, as in my case
I have already tried in the flask shell if it can both create users, and show them to me, and it works correctly

elder nebula Jan 25, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

What do I wanna do:
I wanna sort out those appointment times, that have already been taken and display only not unique times, so people don't have to trial and error all set appointments before finding one what isn't taken

<form method="POST">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form }}
    <button type="submit">Set appointment</button>
</form>

# Views.py
class AppointmentView(CreateView):
    # models = Appointment
    template_name = 'appointment.html'
    success_url = '/thanks/'

    models = Appointment

    fields = ['time', 'firstname', 'lastname', 'email', 'phone', 'message']

    def form_valid(self, form):
        form.instance.created_by = self.request.user
        return super().form_valid(form)

    def get_queryset(self):
        return Appointment.objects.order_by('time').distinct()```

```py
# Models.py

class Time(models.Model):
    date = models.DateField()
    time = models.TimeField()

class Appointment(models.Model):
    time = models.ForeignKey(Time, unique=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    firstname = models.CharField(max_length=150)
    lastname = models.CharField(max_length=150)
    email = models.EmailField()
    phone = models.IntegerField()
    message = models.TextField()```

```py
# urls.py
path('appointment/', AppointmentView.as_view()),```

#

Now it displays all Time objects, even those which are not unique

cloud path Jan 25, 2020, 10:39 PM

yes i've tried in the flask shell, if i print all accounts by query, it prints all the entity, with all the attributes, but if i specify only acc_id, or another attribute, it tells me that it is not defined with error

native tide Jan 25, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

I can just suggest yo to use etc alternative id

#

There is a bit of that in flask documentation user.query.filter_by(altenrative_id = user_id).first()

#

also change load_user(user_id)

#

with load_user function you are not loading given user into session

#

it loads it from session by user id

Can anyone refer me to any framework built with flask with a micorservice architecture deployable with Kubernetes or Docker Compose? The framework should have login, log out, reset password, user service feature e.t.c.

candid basalt Jan 26, 2020, 7:54 AM

#

There is nothing special about being a microservice, so any flask setup with a bunch of modules will do.

#

If you are looking for something "batteries included" - try django. It works well enough for majority of uses.

@candid basalt Thanks. Can you recommend a flask setup- so any flask setup with a bunch of modules will do?

candid basalt Jan 26, 2020, 7:56 AM

#

Pretty much.

#

Microservice is architectural approach, it has nothing to do with the webserver itself or the way it's set up.

edgy kraken Jan 26, 2020, 8:00 AM

#

Microservice is architectural approach, it has nothing to do with the webserver itself or the way it's set up.
@candid basalt Thing is, with micro services, you have a bunch of redundant codes, each service would need to be written to return json. If i were to take a monolithic and rewrite, it'll take some time. Wondering if there is any ready-made repo somewhere.

candid basalt Jan 26, 2020, 8:00 AM

#

You can return json with django, it will work just as fine.

#

It will be slightly heavier then flask, sure. But will save you tons of time given what it provides.

#

And given you still do need things like login/logout/pw reset etc.

edgy kraken Jan 26, 2020, 8:02 AM

#

yea. I see your point. I have been side-stepping django for a while. I guess I have to pick it up.

@edgy kraken both flask and django return json, both can be encapsulated within containers without much fiddling and i would even say django has much more redundant code than flask

You can have one flask server in a container and then just scale it up

edgy kraken Jan 26, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

I don't get what you think by rewriting all services to return json
@vagrant adder I am thinking of separating frontend, user_service, db, e.t.c. That is the level of granularity I am trying to achieve. This will allow me scale the frontend, if needed, without doing the same to other services. This repo (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-on-Microservices-with-Python) comes close but still a lot of work to be done.
You can have one flask server in a container and then just scale it up
@vagrant adder Thats one way of doing it.

that's only way of doing it according to docker rules and specs

Following the tutorial of coreyMs about django, i encouraged the following problem

#

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().save(*args, **kwargs)

        img = Image.open(self.image.path)

        if img.height > 300 or img.width > 300:
            output_size = (300, 300)
            img.thumbnail(output_size)
            img.save(self.image.path)```

#

This is an overwrite to the models.Model save method

#

Which should save the image resized

but when i upload an image it doesn not rescale it, altough its bigger then expected

I consider that somewhat advanced, but you can dumb it down (by, e.g., not using AWS for the database; just use sqlite)

you can omit the recaptcha, if you're not exposing it publicy (I hate the recaptcha, but without it, 99% of the requests are hackers)

supple loom Jan 27, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

ha ha

zealous siren Jan 27, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

defracted, never got it working, shoved it behind the load balancer to resolve the CORS issue

supple loom Jan 27, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

my fav games are way too big

zealous siren Jan 27, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

?

#

They don't have APIs

supple loom Jan 27, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

they might have ..where to get it's code?

#

it's on steam

zealous siren Jan 27, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

What game?

supple loom Jan 27, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

DOTA: Defence of the ancient

zealous siren Jan 27, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

Yep, there is stat API

#

Never used it but read it and generate a page

#

That’s a good project to show off

supple loom Jan 27, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

i don't get it

#

i have to do what?

zealous siren Jan 27, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

Hi everyone...i need suggestions for a project using flask to boost my skill as well as my resume

#

I’m giving you one

supple loom Jan 27, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

please elaborate

zealous siren Jan 27, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

How hard is this? Using flask, build a webpage that displays stat data from DOTA

supple loom Jan 27, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

stat data?

zealous siren Jan 27, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

Statistics data

#

Like win or losses

supple loom Jan 27, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

ohh

zealous siren Jan 27, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

Or how bad you are being jungler

supple loom Jan 27, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

lol

#

so where do i pick original game data from?

zealous siren Jan 27, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

From DOTA API

#

I don’t play DOTA

#

But use google and start researching

supple loom Jan 27, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

okay

#

nice ..there is a whole API for interacting with game coordinator

#

how much time should i take to build this ?

heavy coral Jan 27, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

i have a flask app that is already currently scanning a url, scraping the data and anywhere from 3 to 7 images, saving said data in the database and uploading said images to their project base subfolder (base folder is previewimages then after that for each company another subfolder - example: previewimages/g4g/all the images for that company go in here) -
i want to be able, in flask admin, to display these as thumbnails in their views table, but they are not in the static folder. is there ANY way to do this or am I going to have to move everything around (there are over 4,000 images btw)

Which chromium-based browser has the best dev tools?
I only run FF on my computer but need to install a chromium-based for testing. Personal favorites?

vagrant adder Jan 27, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

either chrome or firefox

dawn jackal Jan 27, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

So far I think I can go with Chrome, Brave or Vivaldi. Though there's also the new Edge.

vagrant adder Jan 27, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

brave is still behind those giants

dawn jackal Jan 27, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

In terms of Dev tools you mean?

vagrant adder Jan 27, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

yes

dawn jackal Jan 27, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

hmm interesting.

vagrant adder Jan 27, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

firefox has some font issues with consolas and that crap

dawn jackal Jan 27, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

I was told the developer edition of Firefox is ideally the most obvious choice for gecko-based development.

#

I just don't really like Google's Chrome though it's a necessary demon - wish there was a chromium based browser stripped of every bloatware.

vagrant adder Jan 27, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

canary?

#

or just pure chromium?

dawn jackal Jan 27, 2020, 8:38 PM

Is canary considered stable? Sorry I have very little idea bout it

I'm trying to upload multiple images with Flask but every time I use request.files.getlist(key) I only get the first image?

#

How do I accomplish multiple image upload

#

Request payload states that the key/name is name="file[0]"

native tide Jan 27, 2020, 11:00 PM

#

@heavy coral do you use same models for images ?

#

i mean for all images

#

if you do add something like this

#

📎 unknown.png

#

📎 unknown.png

#

this last one is quiet messy i did this project while ago and used one image field for each image so i have 3 of them so you just need to pass that url to markup , but find a way to locate subfolder for reach image should be possible and then instead of that f'static/images/ u could have something like url_path that would be just a path to location of ur photo

Hello,
I want to get advice from people with experience. I have a situation where I have a database (mongodb) and I am required to build a dashboard to interact with the database (mostly output -> graphs, tables, etc..). The database has some time series collections and some other static collections, and it is being updated from other separate processes. I want to separate concerns if I can. My current thinking process is to build a REST API (flask, fastapi, tornado, etc..) and then use some external dashboarding tool to just create fancy graphs. Is this a good design? if yes, what should I use to build the UI part? how should the API for graphing things look like (I am assuming it should be a bit different than api/resources/ or api/resource/_id).

zealous siren Jan 28, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

REST API is good, as for dashboard, not sure

#

a BI tool might be able to consume the REST APIs to make a dashboard

Hi guys so basically I have a django-rest-framework & react app going on and im currently working on the password reset feature.
The shit that I'm having trouble with is how to customize the email reset link to point to my frontend page where it shows the new password and confirm password page.

So essentially - how do i make this link http://localhost:8000/accounts/reset/MQ/<token>/ that I'm getting from the email to point to <frontend_url>/password/change
or maybe even http://localhost:8000/accounts/reset/MQ/<token>/ to http://<frontend_url>/accounts/reset/MQ/<token>/

quasi ridge Jan 28, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

I don't understand. Don't you have complete control of the URL that you put into the email?

heavy coral Jan 28, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

@native tide so sorry I just saw this - yes I do - I set up a db model with the following:

    __tablename__ = 'imageurls'

    id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.Sequence('imgurl_id_seq'), primary_key=True)
    pid = db.Column(db.ForeignKey('patterns.id'), index=True)
    # url = db.Column(db.Unicode(150))
    url = db.Column(db.String(255, 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci'))
    is_main = db.Column(db.Integer, default=0)

    pattern = db.relationship('Pattern', primaryjoin='ImageSet.pid == Pattern.id', backref='imageurls', lazy=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.url

    def __repr__(self):
        return "<Image(imgurl='%s')>" % (self.url)

#

and have a m2m relationship with the pattern table which holds all of the pattern info

#

but the problem is that the images are not in the flask dir - they are in another dir that I have a few other big (ok big for me at least) scripts running and so since it's not in the static dir I'm just..falling short on how exactly to implement this 😦

indigo parrot Jan 28, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

@quasi ridge i have no idea. Im using django-rest-auth and i have no idea how to customize the url

#

oh my god duh - i have to set it in django-admin smfh wowowow

That's called hoisting

Just an offtopic , im quiet amazed how programming forums and groups are nice and opened. I started with python basics in july i managed to create an 3 web apps so far , but all of that would be so harder without having an input from some of you gals here. Really good to see that people strive to help others to become better . Props to all really

#

After that does anyone have any material that covers flask / vue.js topcis ? i just found one project that is sort building TODO list

native tide Jan 28, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

Ok

#

It's a feature

#

I have a website that i put on the heroku servers

#

It loads really slow

#

Even though i didn't put any

#

Photo's

quasi ridge Jan 28, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

if it's free tier, there may be a big delay processing the first request, while they load your code from "disk" into "ram"

native tide Jan 28, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

Oh

#

I thought that could be the problem. I was hoping that i was wrong.

quasi ridge Jan 28, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

well, it could still be wrong; I'm just guessing. I don't use heroku

#

but it might be worth your time looking at their docs again

native tide Jan 28, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

Are there any other i could use

#

Maybe it's just heroku

#

Other hosting server you have experience with

#

?

quasi ridge Jan 28, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

I don't use that sort of hosting

#

I've used lambda, and ec2, but those are very different

#

as far as I know, heroku is as good as it gets

native tide Jan 28, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

ohkay

#

I read something

#

About HTTP caching

#

Heroku doesn't support HTTP caching by default so i need to configure it in my app

#

But u don't know how.

zealous siren Jan 28, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

HTTP Caching how?

#

there is server side HTTP caching and client side HTTP caching

native tide Jan 28, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

What?

#

Uhm

#

I guess client

#

Client side HTTP caching

#

Yes

#

The website should display faster.

zealous siren Jan 28, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

Client side is handled by browser

#

so unless you send no cache header, browser should cache

#

ultimate fix is going to be "pay for hosting"

native tide Jan 28, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

Great

zealous siren Jan 28, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

DO is only 5USD

native tide Jan 28, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

I saw $7

#

Hobby style

#

Wait

#

Is it per month or permanent?

vagrant adder Jan 28, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

@native tide so heroku has free tier which has limited hours

#

and they solved that by putting your server to sleep if there is no communication with the server in 30 mins

#

so upon first request to the site, heroku has to clone and start your server from scratch since their server solution has non-persistent filesystem

#

so upon 1st request its hella slow but when it starts, it's usable

native tide Jan 28, 2020, 8:01 PM

#

i see!

#

that's good to know

#

so

#

within 30 minutes

#

look'

#

i open the website now,

#

so when i go back in ten minutes

#

it should load fast

#

cuz the server didn't close it

#

is that so

#

?

vagrant adder Jan 28, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

that is correct

native tide Jan 28, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

yep! So it is

#

thx for the amazing explanation

vagrant adder Jan 28, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

cheers

native tide Jan 28, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

i just came up with an idea

#

that i can create a bot that goes on my website every 29 minutes

#

is that even possible?

#

cuz i hear a lot of bots these days. ex: the ones discord servers have and chat bots

#

If i can create this bot, my website will always load fast.

dawn jackal Jan 28, 2020, 8:52 PM

How do you define a pop-up box with text that comes up when you click a button?

native tide Jan 28, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

use the onclick fucntion @dawn jackal

#

for example when i click on this hello button, a box will appear that says: 'hi'

#

<button onclick="alert('hi')" >Hello</button>

Hi all, I had an idea for a web at work today.
Before I start to put the idea over I wanted to find out how best to approach it.

From my sources ReactJS seems to be a dominant force.

I need to build a web UI with DB backend to auto some processes and send email.

The company I work for are mainly an Microsoft shop and starting to move to Azure.

I am intersteed in using Python as it would simple for other people to learn but not really heard anything about Python web apps.

quasi ridge Jan 29, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

python is great for web apps

#

@oak crown ^^

vagrant adder Jan 29, 2020, 5:59 AM

#

@native tide yes that is possible but you would run out of working hours

ask

Asking good questions will yield a much higher chance of a quick response:

• Don't ask to ask your question, just go ahead and tell us your problem.
• Don't ask if anyone is knowledgeable in some area, filtering serves no purpose.
• Try to solve the problem on your own first, we're not going to write code for you.
• Show us the code you've tried and any errors or unexpected results it's giving.
• Be patient while we're helping you.

You can find a much more detailed explanation on our website.

#

What do you mean run out of Working hours @vagrant adder

tranquil robin Jan 29, 2020, 9:33 AM

#

i am guessing something like, your server can be active for 5 hours a day in the free plan, or 40 hours a week or whatever

#

and when you do that, you will consume the hours you have in the free plan

#

so the server wont be able to be live until the timer resets

tiny venture Jan 29, 2020, 9:43 AM

#

Hey guys, can somebody help me with this question. When using Keep-alive connections, what kind of thing server has to do when keep-alive timeout has expired? Just close connection or somehow notify the client and only after that - close connection? Can't find anything regarding this on internet

bleak bobcat Jan 29, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

@native tide Just make a cloud/lambda function that does a simple request to your website every 25min

vagrant adder Jan 29, 2020, 11:50 AM

#

@native tide so, your free dyno on heroku has limited hours to work per month

#

It's 550

#

That's why your dyno goes to sleep after certain amount of time(30mins)

tranquil robin Jan 29, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

probably 500, cause 30*24=720 😄

vagrant adder Jan 29, 2020, 12:23 PM

#

Oh right

#

Edited :))

native tide Jan 29, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

So if you get 1000 hours dyno per month you can keep one dyno running the whole time as long as you ping every 30 min?

#

Or will that count as abuse?

bleak bobcat Jan 29, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

I see nothing about abuse in their doc, they do however recommend turning off pinging/monitoring services to save hours

upper grotto Jan 29, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

Hi, I have a flask question

#

I have a small script that writes to a text file when a user accesses a page

#

if a second user accesses the page while another user is reading or writing to the file, will this cause a problem?

#

I imagine I'll get some kind of interesting error code

#

that's just an IO error yeah

native tide Jan 29, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

How are you writinh to the file?

#

With w or a?

upper grotto Jan 29, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

w

native tide Jan 29, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

Try using a then it just adds to the file

upper grotto Jan 29, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

oh really?

#

that's awesome

native tide Jan 29, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

Thats how I do it a log.txt for a simple logging who visit my flask site

patent cobalt Jan 29, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

Are you writing to the same file?

upper grotto Jan 29, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

I'm planning on setting up one file that shows the most recent access time and session ID

patent cobalt Jan 29, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

Right, it almost appears like you're going for some custom logging system

upper grotto Jan 29, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

then as long as no one has written for 0.1 seconds it writes to the bigger seperate CSV

#

yeah exactly

patent cobalt Jan 29, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

I think Flask has special support for Python's built-in logging module

#

Maybe that's a good alternative that would give you an easily extendible and robust logging base

#

You could even "just" use the logging module itself

upper grotto Jan 29, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

I have an external site that calls my flask website and provides some user info for storage on the flask server. My goal here is to store it while also making sure the call can't be done a billion times by a malicious user

#

is logging the right choice?

patent cobalt Jan 29, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

Ah, that sounds like a different use-case than regular logging

#

You're basically looking to apply some for of rate limits for different users

#

There are other solutions for that, but I'm not sure if flask has them built-in (Flask takes a more minimal/batteries-excluded approach than, say, Django)

#

There are a lot of plugins that would give you this out of the box though

upper grotto Jan 29, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

exactly, I was reckoning that I might use some kind of time and user que thing

patent cobalt Jan 29, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

I'd imagine that something like this: https://flask-limiter.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ would do the trick nicely

upper grotto Jan 29, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

that looks handy, especially the shared limit

rigid loom Jan 29, 2020, 2:23 PM

How can I use Flask within my own class? I basically want something like```py

    @app.route("/")
    def home(self):

    @app.route("/<name>")
    def user(self, name):
        return f"Hello {name}!"

    @app.route("/admin")
    def admin(self):
        if self.admin:
            return "Hello Admin!"
        return redirect(url_for("home"))

if name == "main":
a = App()
a.run()

#

#

How are you running it?

#

What are typing in your terminal?

rigid loom Jan 29, 2020, 2:42 PM

#

I was typing flask run

#

I seem to have fixed it all up now though

#

from flask import Flask, redirect, url_for

class App:
    def __init__(self):
        self.admin = False

    def run(self):
        app = Flask(__name__)

        @app.route("/")
        def home():
            return "<h1><b><u>Hello World!<h1><u><b>"

        @app.route("/<name>")
        def user(name):
            return f"Hello {name}!"

        @app.route("/admin")
        def admin():
            if self.admin:
                return "Hello Admin!"
            self.admin = True
            return redirect(url_for("home"))

        app.run()        
if __name__ == "__main__":
    a = App()
    a.run()
```is working as intended

#

So I think I'm good now, thanks though @native tide

native tide Jan 29, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

Yeah flask run is looking for a folder called app

#

Or also looks for app.py

#

So from the code you posten it seeems to want to be run with python yourfile.py

#

The old way of running flask

tranquil robin Jan 29, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

Is there any a need of creating a flask app in the way "TizzySaurus" did (as a Class) instead of the standard way?

rigid loom Jan 29, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

The main reason I did it is so I can pass variables around easily @tranquil robin

#

Like the self.admin

tranquil robin Jan 29, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

aha

#

u mean instead of having to have global variables?

rigid loom Jan 29, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

I'm like 30min into Flask tho so there might be a better way idk

#

And global variables are such a big no no in python

i wanna make a validation arrow in a form without javascript is this possible?

native tide Jan 29, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

So when its out of work hours, the server to my website shuts down? For that month?

#

If you are talkin about heroku, then yes. If you have used up your hours then it will be forced to sleep until next month

#

i fully get it now

#

for my website to stay active i need to pay atleast $7 per month

#

If you register your creditcard you get 1000 hours per month

#

So the one app can run constantly

#

But it will go to sleep if its not been visit for 30 minutes

#

But you will not run out of hours 🙂

#

that without pay?

#

Yeah, I think so. It just says they just need a credit card on file. Haven’t tried it out yet

#

ok

Hello everyone

I been trying to use my Gmail account to send emails to other users in my website, I enabled "Allow less secure apps" for my Gmail account and I still got

ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 61] Connection refused

Yesterday I asked this question but back then I wasn’t sure what the problem was, after looking into other solutions I just found out that every other chap is able to use Gmail for sending emails but it doesn’t work for me.

I followed this tutorial and did exactly as mentioned:
https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-x-email-support

These are my virtual environment variables:

(venv) $ export MAIL_SERVER=smtp.googlemail.com
(venv) $ export MAIL_PORT=587
(venv) $ export MAIL_USE_TLS=1
(venv) $ export MAIL_USERNAME=test@gmail.com
(venv) $ export MAIL_PASSWORD=test-test-test-test

The account that I used in MAIL_USERNAME variable is the one with “Less secure Apps” [Enabled]

This is the code I used for sending Emails to ANY email address:

from app import mail, app
from flask_mail import Message

msg = Message('Samba Day', sender=app.config['ADMINS'][0], recipients=[‘question@stuckoverflow.com’])
msg.body = 'Samba Jr'
msg.html = '<h1>Samba</h1>'
mail.send(msg)

If there is no solution to this what other free mail service I can use for this?

There are no free email services and GMail is not going to let you blast stuff out either, look at AWS SES

guys, how can i manage in flask web app the "Accept" and "Reject" submit buttons? I can only do this with a single validate_on_submit, but this time, the submit options are two

wind escarp Jan 29, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

@zealous siren OK, so what if I want to use python fake smtpd server for emails?
I am using it already for receiving emails, its on localhost:5151 but I need to test it throughly with another smtp server that I can use to [Send] emails
Now I looked it up and seems like python-smtpd cannot be used for [Sending] stuff

#

It's not necessary for now to [buy] things, I just want to learn how to do all this on localhost

#

In short: Is there something i can use to send emails to my-fake-smtpd ?

vagrant adder Jan 29, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

something as in software or as in flask extension

wind escarp Jan 29, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

i think flask extension would work since i am working on this blog project

zealous siren Jan 29, 2020, 6:48 PM

#

fatcat, then use fake smtpd server

#

it should accept emails, it just won't send them

#

so they get accepted and then throw into /dev/null

wind escarp Jan 29, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

[SENDER]
in case of localhost my settings will change to:

(venv) $ python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:8025
(venv) $ export MAIL_SERVER=localhost
(venv) $ export MAIL_PORT=8025

[RECIEVER]

from app import mail, app
from flask_mail import Message

msg = Message('Samba Day', sender=app.config['ADMINS'][0], recipients=[‘Another_fake_server’])
msg.body = 'Samba Jr'
msg.html = '<h1>Samba</h1>'
mail.send(msg)

What should I put in ['Another_fake_server'] @zealous siren ?

zealous siren Jan 29, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

fakeuser@example.com

#

my guess is debug server doesn't care because it's not doing anything with it

cloud path Jan 29, 2020, 6:58 PM

    rForm = RejectApplicationForm()
    if aForm.is_submitted():
        flash('1')
    elif rForm.is_submitted():
        flash('0')```
guys why it flash always 1?

wind escarp Jan 29, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

example.com, where it comes from?

#

my sender is already up and running but the receiver or recipient is not up and running

#

i need another tool for creating a fake recipient

#

One of them is up and running (for sending emails):

python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:3121

This is the code for sending:

from app import mail, app
from flask_mail import Message

msg = Message('Samba Day', sender=app.config['ADMINS'][0], recipients=[‘mail@example.com'])
# that doesn't because @example.com is a domain on WAN 
# i need to change that to some other receiver 
# i had tried localhost:9999 but it didn't work
msg.body = 'Samba Jr'
msg.html = '<h1>Samba</h1>'
mail.send(msg)

#

sorry if my question are confusing

#

its more confusing for me

#

i am planning to jump to another chapter but that way my app wont work at all because my code is different from the author of Flask tutorials

native tide Jan 29, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

there's something wrong with the quotes you're using

#

mail@example.com has a strange quote at the beginning

wind escarp Jan 29, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

I don't think so, I am looking so close to my screen, I copied and pasted a quote from your sentence above, seems like OK to me

native tide Jan 29, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

‘ <-- this is not right

#

even the syntax highlighter freaks out

#

‘mail@example.com' the starting quote is not the same character as the apostrophe at the end

wind escarp Jan 29, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

seems like you were right, thank you, but still, this code my friend doesn't work, I dont know how the author made it works

#

seems like i would need to go shopping for this chapter, i am skipping it for now, thanks everyone for giving time

guys, why this code flashs always 1?

#

    aForm = AcceptApplicationForm()
    rForm = RejectApplicationForm()
    if aForm.is_submitted():
        flash('1')
    elif rForm.is_submitted():
        flash('0')
-----------------------------------------
class AcceptApplicationForm(FlaskForm):
    submit = SubmitField('Accetta')

class RejectApplicationForm(FlaskForm):
    submit = SubmitField('Rifiuta')
----------------------------------------
<form action="" method="POST">
    {{ aForm.hidden_tag() }}
    <p>{{ aForm.submit() }}</p><br>
    {{ rForm.hidden_tag() }}
    <p>{{ rForm.submit() }}</p>
</form>

#

if i submit rForm, it flashs 1 anyway

young acorn Jan 29, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

@cloud path, you have 2 submits in the same <form> element. You probably want 2 seperate <form>s

cloud path Jan 29, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

mm i try to separate them

#

now only first form works, the second doesn't do anything

How can I find the cause of the problem when JS is not receiving a socket msg from flask?
They were contacting each other just fine, but on one of the socket.on("event") JS is just not receiving anything, Flask is sending everything just fine

@native tide does the live server, work with JS? or only HTML and CSS?

yes it works with JS

😫 🤦

#

the problem was my code

i have been struggling for three hours😅

function sum(limit) {
    let amount = 0;
    let i = 0;
    amount = 0;
    while (i < limit) {
        if (i % 3 === 0) {
            
        }
    }
    return amount;
}

console.log(sum(10));```

Hey all! New to the channel, seems like one of the few Discord channels that's active and not overrun with marketing / ads.

Had a quick question. I've seen all of the buzz around static site generators, and the concept definitely makes sense if you are trying to build a decent dev workflow for simple content sites (basically a CMS without the overhead of a CMS).

But can static site generators (SSG's), like 11ty or Panini, be used /w Python frameworks like Flask to create websites with User Logins?

I've seen a couple articles mention using SSG's in conjunction with a web framework like Flask to serve the flat HTML pieces as static assets via an Nginx server, and only serving the dynamic elements via the WSGI server.

I guess my questions are:

Can SSG's be used by themselves for websites that need a User Login?
If not, and you'd have to somehow pair the SSG piece with the WSGI server (Flask) piece, is this a common practice? Are there benefits?
I might be way off on all of this... (tried to do a bit of research before throwing up the white flag and asking for help). What am I missing? What would you recommend?

My apologies if this is in the wrong section or anything! Cheers.

@languid briar when you say a static site with a user login, what precisely do you mean?

languid briar Jan 30, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

This project is for a client that is a barbershop with 10-15 locations. 80-100k customers, the goal is to start tracking them by creating User accounts and Client dashboards listing their past bookings, etc.

CRM is managed by a third-party service (we will have the Users log in via their API, then also store a MongoDB table with their KPI details so we can personalize pieces of the site).

hard to believe there aren't canned sites like that

they don't want to use Squarespace?

#

you're welcome to ask questions if you get stuck on certain parts of the project, but just asking for someone to do the work with you isn't really allowed as it falls under recruitment which isn't allowed in the community

vagrant adder Jan 30, 2020, 6:02 AM

@languid briar
Ssg's are used to generate static content, there is 5% chance that it allows user session and logins, most likely you'll have to do it yourself

People often pair ssg with php or javascript since they are certified™ web dev languages

#

Pelican and Lektor are commonly used with python

#

Pelican's primary templating engine is jinja which is used for flask templating as well

#

@half summit
I don't think you can directly transpile to python

#

But you can evaluate js code in py

what am I doing wrong with Handlebars here?

HTML:

    <!-- handlebars -->
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/handlebars.js/4.7.2/handlebars.min.js"></script>
    <!-- Handlebars template for channels -->
    <script id="h-channels" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
      <li>{{ channel }}</li>
    </script>
<!-- in the body -->
 <div class="side-clist">
     <ul id="chanlist">Channels
     </ul>
 </div>

Javascript

      var template = document.getElementById("h-channels").innerHTML;
      var templateScript = Handlebars.compile(template);
      var html = templateScript(payload);
      document.getElementById("chanlist").innerHTML += html;

the payload looks like this:

{code: "1", channel: "testname"}

and when I console.log(html) i get this

<li></li>

languid briar Jan 30, 2020, 5:02 PM

@quasi ridge The idea is we want to be able to track customers more closely. By firing booking events into mixpanel and a MongoDB, we can grab past histories and personalize each page of the website based on the visitor's booking history. For example, if it's their 3rd booking, we can show a different home page pitching a membership. Give people the option to re-book with their favorite stylist, promote products they've purchased in the past, etc.

Sounds like an SSG isn't viable for this - thanks for all of your guys' help!

Making a flask API (made with flask-restful) with some schemas (made with flask-marshmallow) and trying to implament PATCH. I have a basic wip schema that will we extended looking like this: ```py
class PostPatchInnerSchema(ma.Schema):
"""
Inner contents for PostPatchSchema.
This is similar to PostPostSchema but all fields optional
"""

title = ma.String(required=False)
body = ma.String(required=False)

class PostPatchSchema(ma.Schema):
"""
The PATCH schema for an existing post by a user
"""

post_id = ma.Integer(required=True)
changes = ma.Nested(PostPatchInnerSchema, required=True)

requests.patch(
f"https://127.0.0.1:5000/api/post/",
data={"post_id": 2, "changes": {"title": "New title!"}, # valid data

hi!! how do u upload project to the github repo using github api ??

hallow moat Jan 31, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

You don't use the "github api", as such. You use Git itself to do that.

grim cedar Jan 31, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

im trying to automate it

#

like for multiple project to create its own repo and upload files

#

i can do that with shell scripting and using selenium too but i want to use github api for that

#

more like i want to chuck in the project to its specific repo using github api

hallow moat Jan 31, 2020, 5:29 AM

#

Not sure how that's useful, considering it'll just have a single commit?

grim cedar Jan 31, 2020, 5:33 AM

#

i can chooose to commit chunk of files like i want

slim hornet Jan 31, 2020, 5:33 AM

anybody know another reason i would get a 406 error even when using the 'Accept': '/' header

#

'Accept': '*/*'

grim cedar Jan 31, 2020, 5:34 AM

#

can only think of the value u posted doesnt work

it works in curl but not py requests

#

same headers

grim cedar Jan 31, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

hwo did u add theheader for the session ur posting

slim hornet Jan 31, 2020, 5:37 AM

#

header = {
   'User-Agent': 'curl/7.55.1',
   'Accept': '*/*'
}
url = 'https://10.10.1.1/api/sonicos/auth'
response = requests.post(url, auth=('admin', 'hello'), verify=False, headers=header)

grim cedar Jan 31, 2020, 5:37 AM

#

u dont doo it that way

#

so u create

#

session = requests.Session()

#

then session.auth(username, password)

#

and check the session.get(url).status_code sud be 200

#

oh and session.post(url)

#

before getting it

slim hornet Jan 31, 2020, 5:44 AM

#

okay cool, thanks! im gonna try and put it together that way

grim cedar Jan 31, 2020, 5:45 AM

I am working on a small project (Flask-socketio backend -- JS socketio frontend) using the backend response I am creating HTML elements using handlebars, but the event that creates the HTML elements gets run twice when I refresh the page, and I end up with HTML duplicates.
For some reason this file and line ( Line 83 -- https://hastebin.com/olikipoqul.js) runs when my JS script creates the HTML elements, and in the debugger it stays stuck there for a while.
Any idea what file this is and why this is happening?

PS: if needed this is my JS file (https://hastebin.com/iborufasez.js) the HTML creation happens in the lines (42 - 53)
