Also the WSGI standard isn't really meant for async programming which is why ASGI exists
@pine yew I think the point is to be able to deploy Django on both

pine yew Oct 16, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

@vestal hound I don't see what there is to gain from that scenario.

Hey guys, Flask_wtf captcha related issue , when i implement the captcha, it simply gets ignored whether its done or ignored, i can always submit the form

    username = StringField('Username', validators=[InputRequired(), Length(min=5, max=20)])
    password = PasswordField('Password', validators=[InputRequired(), Length(min=8, max=80)])
    repassword = PasswordField('rePassword', validators=[InputRequired(), Length(min=8, max=80)])
    recaptcha = RecaptchaField()```
```<form action="" method="POST">
    {{ form.hidden_tag() }}
    <p>{{form.username.label}}</p>
    {{form.username()}}
    <p>{{form.password.label}}</p>
    {{form.password()}}
    <p>{{form.repassword.label}}</p>
    {{form.repassword()}}
    {{form.recaptcha}}
        {{form.submit()}}
</form>
<p class="signup">Already have an account?<a href="#">LogIn!</a></p>```

#

it lets me submit the form without checking if iv done the captcha or not

Hello, new to front end

#

One question

#

Bootstrap. Worth it or no?

versed python Oct 17, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

how do you define 'worth'?

strange briar Oct 17, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

Bootstrap. Worth it or no?
@native tide yes

#

how do you define 'worth'?
@versed python no need to go further if you do front end you need bootstrap

versed python Oct 17, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

not really

#

i haven't learnt bootstrap for one

native tide Oct 17, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

can someone recommend web app projects? i know a little js, i know html, and i know css as well as python, but i want to tie them all together to make a nifty like, social media website, per se

#

i want a tutorial i can find. i know the code but im unsure of how to structure it and stuff you know?

quite new to full stacks development: so I have been playing around with django for a bit. Recently, I wanted to do something like

request.restaurant.order_set.all() # get all order

and I wanted to dictionary that so when pass to the front end it would be much simpler to unpack. Once unpack, I made each of the object that was pass a button so when click it sends the object back to View. I used fetch to send a POST to View.

Now my question is everytime the button is click and it trigger the JS, the objects becomes a string and when I send it to django it return as type string instead of the object. I did some reason and found out about serialisation and rest framework. Is this like a good practice to make an API and just have template request the data instead of passing data straight from View to Template?

strange briar Oct 17, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

i haven't learnt bootstrap for one
@versed python You know what a framework library is ? yes
are they useful ? yes
do they work with react-apps and vue apps ? yes
Do most of the projects still use bootstrap ? yes
so MAYBE YOU never used bootstrap, but it is undeniably useful and widely used, ofc you can use another library, ofc you can write your css by yourself, BUT bootstrap is still the most used library today, so why deny the fact that if you want to learn about front-end bootstrap is obviously worth ?

versed python Oct 17, 2020, 1:50 AM

#

Saying that bootstrap is essential to go forward on your path in frontend is like saying you cannot become a web developer without learning django. Django is just a framework that people prefer to get started with web development but by no means the only way. Similarly, bootstrap is also a framework. The only reason people prefer to get started with it is because it is easy to pick up and widely used.

#

TBH most frameworks do build upon the basics of bootstrap and extend it so you'll probably end up learning it either way.

#

But by no means is it NECESSARY to learn bootstrap.

strange briar Oct 17, 2020, 1:52 AM

#

Bootstrap. Worth it or no?
that was the question, not bootstrap is essential to go forward on your path in frontend

versed python Oct 17, 2020, 1:54 AM

#

and my answer was 'what do you mean by "worth"'

strange briar Oct 17, 2020, 1:56 AM

#

it is easy to pick up and widely used. and it is a huge reason to learn about it, period, jesus Ignis you absolutely want the last word, bootstrap is worth learning about for someone new in front-end, why do you want to start a debate on what does he mean by worth, or the alternatives, it is worth

versed python Oct 17, 2020, 2:00 AM

#

I am not trying to argue with you. The reason why it's widely used is because it's easy to use. Doesn't mean it's worth it. You really need to know what they mean by worth to recommend something. Maybe they are looking for a reactive website, bootstrap isn't what you should choose to make one.

#

or maybe they want to make a website that looks like a Google website, ie, a material design one. Again bootstrap isn't the right choice.

#

So yeah I still stand by it that they need to define what they mean by worth.

Hello

I'm having a problem with django forms validation

#

        postcard_form = PostcardForm(request.POST)
        if postcard_form.is_valid():
            data = postcard_form.cleaned_data  # data is a regular dictionary

        elif 'date_of_delivery' not in postcard_form.cleaned_data:
            raise forms.ValidationError("please enter a valid date") ```

#

here it's suppsed to tell the user to "enter a valid date" when they hit submit with an invalid date format

#

but for some reason it returns this error:

    xhr.send(encodeURI(objects[k].id));                                            
};

#

flask:

#

@app.route('/_mark_known', methods=['POST']) 
def mark_known():
  return flash('success')

#

so, i'm sure it's doing something because removing methods=['POST'] returns 405 error rather than 500

#

mad because it kinda works

In django, how and where is stored, wether a user is logged in or not ß

stable kite Oct 17, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

@vapid acorn it is in request that you get in your view

#

@humble stump I think because you are passing data to your view but your function doesn't accept any arguments.

versed python Oct 17, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

@vapid acorn it is in request that you get in your view
@stable kite i think they're asking where the data is stored not how to access it. I think it is stored in is_authenticated field in the database

stable kite Oct 17, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

@versed python there is no fields like is_authenticated in django default user database

versed python Oct 17, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

hmm you're right

#

i did say i wasn't sure lol

#

it's a method right?

stable kite Oct 17, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

we can get user requesting a resource from request only

#

it's a method right?
@versed python yes

versed python Oct 17, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

we can get user requesting a resource from request only
@stable kite but where does this request get the user from?

stable kite Oct 17, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

Django does it on it's own

versed python Oct 17, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

that's not really a valid answer

vapid acorn Oct 17, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

I mean if you wanted to code this part yourself, would it be stored with a session id on the server or in the cookies or on the client side in the session-storage?

stable kite Oct 17, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

@versed python request are objects of classes of HttpRequest so this is where we get user

vapid acorn Oct 17, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

but it isnt just bound to one request

stable kite Oct 17, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

but it isnt just bound to one request
@vapid acorn wdym?

#

@vapid acorn the session idare stored as cookies on client

vapid acorn Oct 17, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

yeah

versed python Oct 17, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

so you're implying that whether a user is logged in or not isn't stored inside the database at all?

#

I think that is actually true

stable kite Oct 17, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

@versed python yes

versed python Oct 17, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

yeah

vapid acorn Oct 17, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

that sounds logical

versed python Oct 17, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

i think the browser caches or something

#

i dont understand that shit

stable kite Oct 17, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

the last time of login is stored on database

versed python Oct 17, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

yep

vapid acorn Oct 17, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

couldnt you just modify the browser cache on the client side as the client?

stable kite Oct 17, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

@vapid acorn you can

versed python Oct 17, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

you could. It's called logging out

vapid acorn Oct 17, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

What do you think is stored in the cache, A session token together with a boolean to indicate if the user is logged in?

stable kite Oct 17, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

@versed python modifying is session id is not called logging out

vapid acorn Oct 17, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

*boolean is wrong, wouild rather be a user id

stable kite Oct 17, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

@vapid acorn no the session id which is generated by django

vapid acorn Oct 17, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

@stable kite I just printed the stuff stored in the get-request, and there was no indicator wether the user is logged in or not

#

just and empty <QueryDict: {}>

stable kite Oct 17, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

you have to use request.user

#

to get the data of user

vapid acorn Oct 17, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

oh ok imma try that

#

If im logged out it's now:
AnonymousUser
And if I'm logged in:
myUsername

#

That makes sense

stable kite Oct 17, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

yes

yeah it is. But from what I have heard, these groups aren't really useful and become not enough after you introduce some application complexity. I think there are packages out there which handle this stuff better so maybe you can look into those.

but yeah groups is the way to go

wanton ridge Oct 17, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

@red pine no i am wanna learn flask

red pine Oct 17, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

see you have to set up routes in flask and then you can manage log in etc after you have some user model

wanton ridge Oct 17, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

ahh i see

red pine Oct 17, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

routes > views (models) > template this is basically it. a route is like www.yourdomain.com/about/ the about is a route. once this route is hit flask will check which view corresponds to this route and display that view using a template (if any)

wanton ridge Oct 17, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

ohh thanks!

#

i am watching some videos of login&registration in flask and trying to understand it and then doing it myself

red pine Oct 17, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

try to follow one complete tutorial from start to finish if you see user auth from one channel and models from another you might miss stuff

wanton ridge Oct 17, 2020, 5:29 PM

sure i will. Thanks for your advice

I'm not quite sure that I understand you, @mild helm

I'll repost my original question:
When using wsgi servers like Gunicorn, is it required to both:

have the actual server installed on your system via apt-get install gunicorn and
have the python package installed via pip install gunicorn?

@obtuse iris gunicorn is just python

you just do pip install gunicorn

idk why you also do apt-get gunicorn or gevent

obtuse iris Oct 17, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

That's just there because I was troubleshooting why it wasn't working

quick cargo Oct 17, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

try ["gunicorn", "--workers", "3", "--bind", "0.0.0.0:5000", "app:wsgi" ]

obtuse iris Oct 17, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

Give me one second! What would the separate strings accomplish?

quick cargo Oct 17, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

well its todo with how its passed to exec

#

Docker is built off Go and go's exec system requires that they be seperate argument otherwise they get escaped as one lone single command

obtuse iris Oct 17, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

I see, I did not know this!

#

Either way, it's still treating it as a file:

#

I think I'm doing something really stupid here. Should I not have ENTRYPOINT ['python'] in there?

#

That was it! Now I'm getting a module error I'm going to tackle for a minute or two. @quick cargo , thank you!

#

@quick cargo It works! That was indeed the gotcha, separate they work

what do you recommend for webapps/frameworks
Django or Flask

#

I want to make a webapp that generates passwords

silver shell Oct 17, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

@summer wyvern Django

#

I have a @property on my model which calculates a result based on data. If data is not present it raises an ArithmeticError with an error message. In my serializer i put this field in Meta->fields, however when ArithmeticError is raised due to missing data, server crashes and returns 500. I instead just want to serialize the ArithmeticError message back to the user, so that user knows why it cannot calculate. How do I do that?

native tide Oct 17, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

@summer wyvern Django seems to be the accepted go-to if you want as many features as possible, but its obviously more complex, the file structure tends to scare off a lot of beginners as well but its nowhere near as complicated as it looks

#

Flask is also alright though

I don't know if this question is quite right for this channel, but how do I achieve pretty much the same way to difference between Tor users (.onion) and normal?

Context is a Django application.

Lynxchan (https://gitgud.io/LynxChan/LynxChan/-/blob/master/src/be/workerBoot.js#L109-129) does it with using different port for public facing and different port for the hidden service port.

@worn rapids you could try giving incorrect input to your forms and checking if the correct ValidationError is being raised

idk how to make it specific to crispy forms though

what exactly are you doing?

radiant aurora Oct 18, 2020, 6:32 AM

@radiant aurora name in urls.py. It shouldn't contain whitespaces
@versed python we can use whitespaces. But why is the extra slash coming at the end?

versed python Oct 18, 2020, 7:05 AM

#

i have no idea. And i recommend you remove the whitespace. Use camelcase or just hyphens or underscores

radiant aurora Oct 18, 2020, 7:43 AM

I'm using the space for a reason. If its not fixing the double slash issue then there is no point in removing it for now.

STATIC_URL is your static folder . and STATICFILES_DIRS is all directories you have static files in them . So you can load static and use them in your HTML

STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static")], even after adding this it doesnt work

I didn't learn flask at first either . But when I did , I understood how django worked better

@glass sandal ooooooooooooooooooooooh time to flask then 😮

glass sandal Oct 18, 2020, 9:12 AM

#

It helps you , also , flask itself is as powerful as django , easier to deploy

#

But it needs 3rd party libraries for some things

#

like e.g , for admin we have flask-admin

Guys. I have a flask app that's an API and I get requests once a month from a single computer, I don't want to use NGINX. What's the best uWSGI setup for this ?
This is my current uwsgi:

[uwsgi]

chdir = /home/pi/sampleApp
module = sample_app:app

master = true
processes = 1
threads = 2

uid = www-data 
gid = www-data
socket = /tmp/sample_app.sock
socket = 0.0.0.0:3134
protocol = http
chmod-socket = 664
vacuum = true

die-on-term = true

lazy = true
lazy-apps = true

This uwsgi.ini works perfectly on port 3314 but only if I specify protocol = http. I have read on stack that I do need to use http or http-socket but I didn't get exactly as the opinions were different. What you guys think ?

ripe goblet Oct 18, 2020, 9:13 AM

but what if i got the hang of django? do i need to?

I have a question about displaying ajax json content that auto-refreshes, without a data table or full on chart and without refreshing the page. Just trying to get advice on any way I can achieve that. I’m going for a dashboard of sorts where there are “cards” on the page displaying a number that is automatically updated based on the json data retrieved from the Ajax request. Any ideas?

Good night, I have a django application, which on a models I have a textfield, on the textfield, I want to render the amount of rows inside of the textfield into an integer, currently I reached to the point where it counts all the chars in the textfield, but I want it to count each row on \n break.

versed python Oct 18, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

@toxic flame perform a .splitlines() on the text field and find the length using len()

toxic flame Oct 18, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

@versed python how do I query the textfield though?

#

.values()?

versed python Oct 18, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

Like you normally would

#

yeah there are various ways

#

just use one

#

you shouldnt require values since that would be db intensive

toxic flame Oct 18, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

instance = productsByTheSeller.values('stock')
ree = instance.splitlines().len()

versed python Oct 18, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

there are other ways to select a particular column using django orm, i don't remember tho

toxic flame Oct 18, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

it currently returns an error

re = len(instance.splitlines())

toxic flame Oct 18, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

o

#

'QuerySet' object has no attribute 'splitlines'

thus this is the error

📎 2020-10-19_05-22.png

toxic flame Oct 18, 2020, 11:53 PM

you add # in front of a selector and it will become an id, a . and it will become a class

versed python Oct 18, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

how do I do that?

toxic flame Oct 18, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

with class, you can put more than 1 class in 1 'variable'? is that what you call it?

#

for example

#

.blue{
  color: blue
}
.border{
  border: 1px solid black
}
<h1 class="blue border">Hello</h1>```

#

this will show the text as blue and has a 1 px solid black border

#

uh

Ok quick question: If I am the author of a campaign, this following code puts a result in my query for every subscriber (not me) that is in my campaign.

campaigns.filter(Q(author=request.user) | Q(approved_subscribers=request.user))```

#

Why would it repeat for every subscriber? I just want it to show in my list only once per situation if I am either the author, or I am a subscriber in someone else's campaign.

#

Currently, every person that is in one of my campaigns, causes the campaign to repeat on my list for the number of subscribers that exist in it.

vestal hound Oct 19, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

@dense slate that's because of how SQL works

#

basically, your query as is translates to a UNION ALL

#

wait, let me look at that again

#

no, that's not right

dense slate Oct 19, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

I want a campaign to be listed if I am the author or if I'm a subscriber.

vestal hound Oct 19, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

yes, and the solution is to use .distinct() at the end

#

but that shouldn't be happening

dense slate Oct 19, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

Right

#

I use distinct elsewhere, but it doesn't fix this one.

vestal hound Oct 19, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

approved_subscribers is a M2M field...?

dense slate Oct 19, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

Right

vestal hound Oct 19, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

okay, got it

#

that's why

#

try distinct('id')?

dense slate Oct 19, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

But why would it repeat a campaign I author, for each subscriber that is not me?

#

I only ask for them where I am the author, or I am one of those subscribers

vestal hound Oct 19, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

can you show the result of print(campaigns.filter(Q(author=request.user) | Q(approved_subscribers=request.user)).query)?

#

I just woke up so maybe I'm on the wrong track but I'm p sure it's because of the join over the M2M field

dense slate Oct 19, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

Not at my pc, I'll try in a bit.

#

If you wanted to query events, for which you are either an creator of member, would you approach that query this way in the first place?

vestal hound Oct 19, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

honestly it feels like it makes sense

#

I use distinct elsewhere, but it doesn't fix this one.
@dense slate I believe that it doesn't work because the rows returned are not distinct after the join

dense slate Oct 19, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

Why did you add .query? What does that do?

vestal hound Oct 19, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

it contains the generated SQL

dense slate Oct 19, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

Ah

vestal hound Oct 19, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

so my guess is that after the join, the rows are not distinct because they differ in the joined values, which are not shown to you because they're not part of the Campaign model

#

which is why .distinct() doesn't work

#

but if you take distinct over id, it should...?

dense slate Oct 19, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

I'll try it when I can

vestal hound Oct 19, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

although I feel like this should work out of the box

#

do you have like any annotations or something

Hi

#

So I am having trouble with a redirect to a url in the requestslibrary with python

#

I try to go to this url
https://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@api.stocktwits.com/api/2/oauth/authorize?client_id=<CLIENT_ID>&response_type=token&redirect_uri=http://<YOUR DOMAIN>&scope=read,watch_lists,publish_messages,publish_watch_lists,follow_users,follow_stocks

#

Which, when I put into a browser, successfully redirects.

#

For some reason it fails to do so in my code

#

I am thinking it might be simpler than I realize

#

Based on what I've seen online, it seems like my approach is correct, but I am missing something.

#

How can I ask for user input with an action in django admin?

In my code, I am writing an action for grouping, I would like to ask the user how many people would they like per group and then respond with an alert box that says something along the lines of you...

Apparently that's the cause, nvm

"No action selected" says Django-admin when deleting objects

I've created a simple model Product with couple of fields and then went to admin.py. I've registered the Product, make some fields list_editable and created a new action duplicate.

Guys. I have a flask app that's an API and I get requests once a month from a single computer, I don't want to use NGINX. What's the best uWSGI setup for this ?
This is my current uwsgi:

[uwsgi]

chdir = /home/pi/sampleApp
module = sample_app:app

master = true
processes = 1
threads = 2

uid = www-data 
gid = www-data
socket = /tmp/sample_app.sock
socket = 0.0.0.0:3134
protocol = http
chmod-socket = 664
vacuum = true

die-on-term = true

lazy = true
lazy-apps = true

This uwsgi.ini works perfectly on port 3314 but only if I specify protocol = http. I have read on stack that I do need to use http or http-socket but I didn't get exactly as the opinions were different. What you guys think ?

I tried to do the following:
old_containers = soup.findAll("td", {"class": "details-td"}) #this gets called out of the loop (runs only once)
new_containers = soup.findAll("td", {"class": "details-td"})
containers = new_containers - old_containers

But it showed the following error:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'ResultSet' and 'ResultSet'

What are 'ResultSet' and how do I handle them?

*I mean by 'requests' just new posts

#

How do I update JQuery in Django

#

and how do i see the current version of jQuery that is currently used by Django

acoustic oyster Oct 19, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

update jquery?

you can use the cdn or download the newest packages and replace them in static

trim star Oct 19, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

Is there a good tutorial on that?

acoustic oyster Oct 19, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

I am not sure that django uses any jquery, I am not 100% sure though.

But if you want to use jquery in your templates, you will need to install it/add it to your project itself. It is completely separate from django

trim star Oct 19, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

(im not a web developer, just patching things)

acoustic oyster Oct 19, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

Is there a good tutorial on that?
@trim star you would not be adding jquery to django necessarily. You would just be adding it to your html like normal.

#

oh, if you are patching someone else's code: someone should have added jquery to the static folders, or the cdn links in the templates themselves. If the front end is using templates

#

if using local files for jquery, it should be in the app/static folder.

or the cdn may be imported in the template or in a base template

trim star Oct 19, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

yeah i see in a bash script a command for

download https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js

acoustic oyster Oct 19, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

yeah, is that in docker?

you could replace those for newer versions (that is the cdn link)

but you will need to do a lot of work fixing deprecated and incompatible code xD

trim star Oct 19, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

mannn

#

Ok well thanks haha

#

yes its in docker

acoustic oyster Oct 19, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

actually, that is a pretty new version. It would not be worth upgrading imo and it should not cause many conflicts to do so.

#

(current is 3.5.1)

#

cool, someone was kind to you though, that should be the only place you need to update the install

trim star Oct 19, 2020, 10:40 PM

there is a vulnerability in versions less than 3.5

acoustic oyster Oct 19, 2020, 10:40 PM

New to web development here. I'm writing a handbook for work. I would very much like to have every section be it's own html document, and then seamlessly plop that into the main document. Mostly because that would be easier to maintain and organize. I'm trying out <iframe> but it has scroll bars. I really just want to plop the html page into a <div>. Is that a thing that can be done?

versed python Oct 20, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

@fallow silo There might be better ways to do this, but I am pretty sure it can be done with a templating language like jinja, which is python based. If you are more of a js guy, then I recommend nuxt-content (you'd need to learn vuejs though).

#

I recommend the former because it'd be much easier

fallow silo Oct 20, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

Yeah, I want to go with as easy as possible. 😄

versed python Oct 20, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

jinja it is then

Hi There! does anyone help me out how to open modal pop-up in django admin

gaunt marlin Oct 20, 2020, 4:39 AM

#

@untold sluice you need to override specific admin template that you want in django admin, and write modal css and javascript in javascript block

untold sluice Oct 20, 2020, 4:40 AM

#

Okay do you have any reference ?

guys are heroku servers considered "fast"??
or is something like AWS faster?
i am getting 0.8 second response times for querying a read of a json file
with 90mb/s internet
json file is 3 kb lol

@strange ocean I think most of that is latency vs bandwidth

gaunt marlin Oct 20, 2020, 5:46 AM

#

@vestal hound based on what tier you using, free tier of course not gonna be fast at all

#

@elder tiger you set an expired time(usually timestamp), and use javascript to do countdown expired_time - now()

vestal hound Oct 20, 2020, 5:48 AM

#

@vestal hound based on what tier you using, free tier of course not gonna be fast at all
@gaunt marlin of course that is true, but I don't see how that's relevant to what I said

gaunt marlin Oct 20, 2020, 5:48 AM

#

server spec related to how many RPS it can do, and it's bandwidth speed

elder tiger Oct 20, 2020, 5:48 AM

#

for e.g

#

static sites can do that or not

vestal hound Oct 20, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

server spec related to how many RPS it can do, and it's bandwidth speed
@gaunt marlin yes, I know that

#

but I wasn't the one asking the question.

#

and what I was saying was that most of that 0.8s is latency

elder tiger Oct 20, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

ohh got it thx

gaunt marlin Oct 20, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

is your expired_time a static variable or from server @elder tiger ? if it's static then it's doable with static site

elder tiger Oct 20, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

yeah it is static thx

vestal hound Oct 20, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

i.e. how much data can be moved in unit time

gaunt marlin Oct 20, 2020, 5:51 AM

#

i think it's based on the transfer bandwith

vestal hound Oct 20, 2020, 5:51 AM

#

3 KB is very small

elder tiger Oct 20, 2020, 5:51 AM

#

how i can take variables from url in django

gaunt marlin Oct 20, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

you mean url parameters?

elder tiger Oct 20, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

yes

#

like localhost/message?content=this&&?author=that

gaunt marlin Oct 20, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

@elder tiger https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/http/urls/#captured-parameters

URL dispatcher | Django documentation | Django

vestal hound Oct 20, 2020, 5:53 AM

#

you can access them at request.query_params

elder tiger Oct 20, 2020, 5:53 AM

#

ohh

vestal hound Oct 20, 2020, 5:53 AM

#

each View takes a request object

gaunt marlin Oct 20, 2020, 5:53 AM

#

and you can get in view by request.GET.get('parameter_variable_in_url_for_example')

vestal hound Oct 20, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

you can access them at request.query_params
@vestal hound oh wait this is for DRF

#

vanilla Django uses GET

strange ocean Oct 20, 2020, 6:20 AM

#

@vestal hound so there is no way to get some kinda faster server??

sage bluff Oct 20, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

does anyone know how to get images using flask restful ???

acoustic oyster Oct 20, 2020, 6:33 AM

#

does anyone know how to get images using flask restful ???
@sage bluff you would probably need to serve the files somewhere (as static files), keep a reference to their path in the db, then serve the url in the api, then get the image from that url.

I do django though.

vestal hound Oct 20, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

@vestal hound so there is no way to get some kinda faster server??
@strange ocean not really? do you understand what my point is?

strange ocean Oct 20, 2020, 7:07 AM

#

@vestal hound yes so is the latency cuz of my internet or the server response times?

vestal hound Oct 20, 2020, 7:50 AM

#

you would need to profile that

#

@vestal hound yes so is the latency cuz of my internet or the server response times?
@strange ocean not physically being where you are, I wouldn't be able to tell

has anyone run into an issue with flask_wtf not rendering the <form> tags?

limber laurel Oct 20, 2020, 8:48 AM

#

I have a feeling that it wpuld have problems if you had csrf token enabled, but why would you run the form without the form tag?

#

@paper radish

paper radish Oct 20, 2020, 8:49 AM

#

this is using quickforms, It causes submissions of forms to be 'GET'

#

csrf tokens are enabled

#

just disabled CSRF and it is still forcing post requests

native tide Oct 20, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

Cors or csrf

paper radish Oct 20, 2020, 9:52 AM

#

I was helping a student with some tutorial work and could not find why it wasnt appearing...Turns out he had a nested form in his header that was missing a closing tag..

thanks though

Hello guys, I'm learning Django and I would like to know which IDE or code editor is best for Django

pycharm is very good.

sick elm Oct 20, 2020, 2:22 PM

Yes, i currently use it, but when i need to edit html, css or javascript the "PyCharm Community Edition" does not support these types of documents, except html files

Yeah I suggest investing in the pro version if you are serious about developing with Django. It is so nice to use

Actually not my request object. I am just trying to pass an object. ~~I can access request by doing self.request in a form~~

@quick cargo If you use the django framework there is no need for the third party plug ins

It will recognize the DTL as well
