hmm, doing some analysis, I think probably choosing React, though some info about Vue is quite sweet too
React looks like 4 times more popular solution and higher in demand

[wraith cloak]

how to setup a favicon :)

[calm plume]

Using raw HTML?

[calm plume]

React is much more popular in the industry

Although I've heard that many people enjoyed Vue since it keeps JS and HTML separate a little more, which is more like Vanilla HTML/JS with a couple really nice touches

I've never touched Angular personally

I am making a flask website with use of bootstrap. When I click on options provided on nav bar, sometimes some options changes their end point to the file from which they are being rendered and give not found error.pls help

[obsidian rain]

hey i want to know how should i start making websites should i learn html css or start with django and flask??

please please dm me with answers

[calm plume]

HTML/CSS is definitely necessary, although if you decide to learn them all at once, I suppose that works

Hi, Like I am having a contact page which is connected to sqalchemy database using xampp, but my contact is not working I mean when user fills and submits, I am not getting a entry on my database, can anyone help me with this please. It's some kind of urgent

[dense slate]

I am such a dope for asking this...
In SCSS, I can import a color file (@import 'whatever.js' which has export const Color ...) with my hexvalues and use $darkGray throughout the file. What's the equivalent for a CSS file when importing the colors?

Can't seem to find a way to use the variables from the color file in a basic css file.

[calm plume]

I don't believe that's possible in CSS, it's something that the Sass team added

hey everyone, is there a way to clear the users session after a specific time and logout them / in order of inactivity or anything else

like I made a configuration on my app for myApp.config['PERMANENT_SESSION_LIFETIME '] = timedelta(seconds=10) but still not workin

and also made a session config session.permanent = True

flask

[outer apex]

where are you setting session.permanent = True?

Someone on SO mentioned setting it after a user logs in

thanks man

[buoyant geode]

any body here done any minimal application with flask and postgresl which involves models and some migration stuff??

please send me any resources or github repo

[outer apex]

You're not adding the correct object to db.session. You're adding an instance of the form, when you're probably wanting to add an instance of the model, I presume the Test model?

[spice bane]

How do you dynamically create divs from a JSON file?

[outer apex]

In what context are you trying to create these divs?

[proven lily]

@fair shale

You can't have two returns in a function

Oh nvm mb

hey so im making a portfolio website and im trying to make it mobile responsive but am having issues.
This is what the page looks like when i inspect and put it into a mobile format, none of my changes (menu icon plus hidden slide nav bar) appear it just stays as the desktop version but terribly formatted. How would I implement responsiveness properly?

CSS for the mobile part

@media(max-width: 700px){
    .text-box h1{
        font-size: 40px;
    }

    nav img{
        width: 100px;
        padding-top: 10px;
    }

    .nav-links ul li{
        display: block;
    }

    .nav-links{
        position: absolute;
        background: #f44336;
        height: 100vh;
        width: 200px;
        top: 0;
        right: -200px;
        text-align: left;
        z-index: 2;
        transition: 0.75s;
    }

    nav .fas{
        display: block;
        color: #fff;
        margin: 10px;
        font-size: 22px;
        cursor: pointer;
    }

    .nav-links ul{
        padding: 30px;
    }
}

any help would be appreciated, im not very experienced in web dev

[median loom]

what are the apps needed in gunicorn?

not sure if they're the same apps used in django

[quick cargo]

Its a standard WSGI server with the ability to run ASGI workers

so pretty much any WSGI or ASGI framework

you dont need to

but its a very popular server for that

other forms include uwsgi, meinhead etc...

[median loom]

oh sorry, let me rephrase my question

because there's an app parameter when running gunicorn

what should i put there?

[quick cargo]

its basically a string

in the form of

file_name:app_varible

e.g.

if you file was called foo.py

and your app variable was called app

it would be

"foo:app"

If i remember correctly

in django you want to target the wsgi file

[median loom]

hmm ok

[median loom]

ohh ok

but i still don't know what that app specifically is

[austere cairn]

Y tf does this error

Ignore the phone coding

[median loom]

you forgot the end parenthesis on that format

[quiet garden]

anyone who knows about flask login

please visit #help-donut

[manic frost]

if I want a web server that exports an ASGI app, is there any reason to prefer gunicorn over uvicorn?

how to do migrations in flask

I want to do it from manage.py what code should be really included in that Im confused

[jovial cloud]

You need to have a post method to '/testword'

[worn sail]

yo guys im getting a error saying theres no such class for the find element by class name although there is a class by that name in the webpage can someone help,Thanks!!

error

[jovial cloud]

For classes in html, any space between signifies different classes.
Example: class = "one two three" means this item belongs to 3 classes 'one', 'two' and 'three'

[jovial cloud]

To make that a single class, try using underscores or hyphens between words without the spaces. Like class='action-primary-checkout'

Since you're making a request, use of the classes that the button belongs to

[worn sail]

I tried the hyphon method but it still says Not found

[worn sail]

Ok ill try this as an alternate and get back to you

[jovial cloud]

Are you making a request to a page which isn't yours or did you make the html yourself

[worn sail]

Its not mine

[jovial cloud]

Alright. You can use one of the classes. However, note that you might get other elements which have the same class on it.
To avoid that, I would advise using another method instead of findbyclassname to get a unique element

[worn sail]

Ok ill look into it and get back to you if im still not able to get it, thanks

[glass sedge]

You cant pass in multiple class names in that function, you could use xpath though el = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@class='action primary checkout']")

[worn sail]

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH..it worked 😁

THANK YOU TOO FOR TRYING TO HELP ME OUT

Hey, what would be the best way to share data from a C program to a web page?
I have a C program doing stuff and i want to share a buffer of 1kB of data. And i'd like to draw rectangles on a webpages based on the data from the C program.
I'm currently using P5js to draw on the page.
To share the data I'm writing in a file with the C program and reading from it with loadBytes(). It works fine when i'm doing it once, but i'd like to do it every 100 ms or so. but when i try i'm not getting any data with the loadBytes() function, probably because the C file is already writing in it...
Is there any faster way to share those data ? UDP socket? other things i don't know?
Thanks.

[compact surge]

Method Not Allowed

The method is not allowed for the requested URL.

That what i see

[vestal hound]

that means you don't have a POST handler

[compact surge]

Python put ImmutableMultiDict([]) in the file

When i print(request.form), the python put the value of the form and in file its looks like that ImmutableMultiDict(['datebegun1', 123456])

        async with session.get(url) as req:

but i keep getting this error

json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

can someone please help

[crystal rover]

Why do you expect that url to return json?

(if I curl it it just returns html, like I expected)

[thorny nest]

idk i mean i looked at the docs for @lavish prism and found that !pypi uses json... i thought it would work

so is there anyway to convert it to json?

[crystal rover]

what would you even expect the output to look like?

[thorny nest]

havent ever worked with json before ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[crystal rover]

ah, okay. Json isn't some magic bullet, it's just a way of representing objects. If you have a document (website, api endpoint, config file, whatever) that uses json as its format, great! It's really easy to work with. If you don't, you can't trivially convert it to json.

[thorny nest]

oh

cool thanks a lot!

Hey fastapi’s users, I have a few classes that I use in all my app, but I only want one instance of each for all my handlers (no need to create them again as there are things like database connection etc). Could I just use globals?
I’m not sure it’s the right pattern with fastapi as there is the dependency Injection pattern that is well established.
After doing some research people proposed a lot of different solutions but it just seems to be over engineered globals (lru_cache, global factory class…)
So in the end I think I’ll use globals, how do managed this?

Helloo I am looking for a Discord server based around browser extensions/add-ons. Does anyone know any?

[wide canyon]

I use django. I hear flask is good for lighter stuff. If your OOP is decent by all means Django. If it's not and you still go with Django you'd have to learn as you go. I prefer books to courses. I'd suggest django 2 by example. That's what I started with. Adrian Holavary's "The django book" can be used as a supplementary material too. Follow the JustDjango channel on YouTube. Really good content. Remember to visit the docs. If you find a good material for flask you can tell me about it. I'd like to try my hands at that too. Cheers.

hello good day, in creating a Django project, is it really necessary to create an virtual environment to a single Django Project?

or is it okay to have 1 virtual environment for multiple projects?

[calm plume]

I would say yes, since you'll probably install quite a few dependencies

[rain wren]

Like I will install the virtual environment to a root folder

[rain wren]

oh okay

I was so confused cause the tutorials that I looked up to are different

[rain wren]

Do I need to commit and push my virtual environment to my github repo?

Are you using a manager like poetry or pipenv?

uhm I'm sorry I could not get terms cause I am a beginner when it comes making Django projects 😅

well now my guide is the django docu

so you see these 2 files are importing each other in a circular fashion

and that's the error

you following me?

[buoyant geode]

so what should i remove

[hoary ibex]

not have a circular import

[buoyant geode]

i get u r point

[hoary ibex]

so you will need to rework your code so that 2 parts of your code are depending on one another in a circle

so flaskapi has a class which depends on the class helloworld from index, but that helloworldclass depends on the carsmodel class in flaskapi

can't have it 2 ways like that

[buoyant geode]

okay

then how to make HelloWorld as a resource

[hoary ibex]

and looking at it, in flaskapi the import index is unused, so you can just remove it

and that will probably make it work

[buoyant geode]

okay

from index import HelloWorld app = Flask(__name__) api = Api(app) api.add_resource(HelloWorld, '/')

I am using it

[hoary ibex]

ah whoops missed it

[buoyant geode]

I want to access helloworld as resource how to do that

[hoary ibex]

i'm not familiar with flask in any way so i cannot help beyond this sadly

[buoyant geode]

np

I just started using flask

[hoary ibex]

haha nice

i wanted to get started with django but i'm not getting it started either

[buoyant geode]

okay

[hoary ibex]

so i think it worked :p

apparently the passenger_wsgi.py needed a chown to ngix

[formal dragon]

hi, are there any Jinja2 config experts around?

[mint folio]

People wouldn’t know until you actually ask those questions.

[agile cobalt]

With gunicorn it's adviced to use nginx or something similar. Is that only because of the thundring herd / buffering problem or are there more benefits of using nginx as a reverse proxy ?

[formal dragon]

I need to change the {{ }} to another pair. I have a solution that works for Flask, but I need a general approch that will work in FastAPI.

[boreal garden]

I am trying to get my page to show "Hello World" when I run the code there is no error but it also doesn't show hello world only the default beginning rocket animation, here is the code

main.urls code:

from django.urls import path

from  . import views 

urlpatterns = [
path("", views.index, name="index"),
]

main.views code:

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse



# Create your views here.

def index(response):
    return HttpResponse("<h1>Hello World!</h1>")

And mysite.urls code:

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

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include("main.urls")),
]

please ping if you have come up with a solution 🙂

[outer turtle]

Can you look at a website and guess what types of architecture they used?

[mint folio]

No. You can only assume.

[austere relic]

and then there's aiohttp that adds a "server" header on each response

[vestal hound]

not in the general case

[cyan lotus]

Try def index(request) instead of response

[boreal garden]

ok

[boreal garden]

yeah that didn't work either

[cyan lotus]

restart the server?

[boreal garden]

wdym?

[cyan lotus]

control + c
python3 manage.py runserver

[boreal garden]

yeah thats what I've been doing

idk

my code seems fine

but it won't work

[cyan lotus]

try delete all pycache folders and re-run the server

[boreal garden]

alr

nope

that didn't work either

@cyan lotus anymore recommendations?

I followed the video two times, two different folders and line for line

I'm just at a loss

[cyan lotus]

I'd try this next path('index/', include("main.urls")), and the go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/index

[boreal garden]

ok

this is the code

[cyan lotus]

django didn't try the index url

at this point I'd reinstall django

[boreal garden]

damn

[cyan lotus]

also it's index/ with/

try index/ before reinstalling

my bad

[bronze palm]

his django isn't recognizing his app I suggest setting up a new virtual enviroment and recreating the app

[mystic badge]

Hello, I am begineer just looking for a lot of fun in web development, i am unsure which framework to do, FLASK / DJANGO

[inland oak]

flask for learning, django for working

[mystic badge]

Ok, flask then

thank you :0

🙂

[grim seal]

I'm following a Django tutorial, and I am busy copying three basic models from the tutorial. My Profile class:

class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(
        settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
        on_delete=models.PROTECT
    )
    website = models.URLField(blank=True)
    bio = models.CharField(max_length=240, blank=True)

Then in my Post model, I have this line:

author = models.ForeignKey(Profile, on_delete=models.PROTECT)

How does this foreign key magic work? I would have thought that for an FK, I must specify a name for the foreign property.

[vestal hound]

what do you mean "foreign property"?

[grim seal]

I mean the property in the other class that that is the foreign key field that links to the property marked as type ForeignKey. E.g. what property links my author property to the Profile class.

[vestal hound]

ah

by default it'll be {model.__name__}_set

oh wait hold up

yeah so a Profile will have a post_set

because it's one (profile) to many (posts)

[vestal hound]

this is done for you by Django

through metaclasses (I think)

[grim seal]

Ah, dark voodoo indeed 😆 . Thanks

[vestal hound]

SQLAlchemy doesn't do this for you, I believe

but Django was really made more for people who weren't programmers first, IIRC

yw! 👋

lastly

you can change this with the related_name kwarg in your ForeignKey

[grim seal]

Aah, more sense now. Cool beans

[hollow sparrow]

thank u soo much

[past oar]

I'm using Linux on AWS Lightsail to host my django project with Apache. I connect using SSH. I cannot seem to get the db to work without setting permissions to 777, I see that it's not recommended as any user can write to the file. But, if somebody manages to connect to my server as a user, I am not screwed anyway? Am I correct to think that I am protected by SSH anyway and setting permission 777 doesn't matter as I'm the only user?

[hoary ibex]

whilst i just started with django, i also noticed issues with write permissions for the db.sqlite3. I quickly switched over to postgres since i already had it installed. If it's an in development website/not public permission 777 would work fine, but if you go production definitely avoid this

there's built in protection still but you're removing one layer of protection

[past oar]

Okay thanks!

[buoyant shuttle]

How dk I make my website mobile responsiveness

Like what is the ideal width, that indicates it's a tablet or phone

[austere relic]

Ideal width of what?

[calm plume]

I usually set @media queries for around 600px, 900px, and 1200px

And sometimes a larger one

[coarse haven]

whats the point of media queries when flexbox and grid exist?

[buoyant shuttle]

Are there any screen bigger than 1200px?

[calm plume]

Yes, widescreens can be bigger

[buoyant shuttle]

There should be a way to move an element 70% of the width

That way it would be consistent

[calm plume]

width: 70%; exists, which would make it take 70% of the parent

[buoyant shuttle]

I'll set the parent to 100%

[calm plume]

Say you have 8 columns of your site on desktop, which would look ugly on mobile. You could use media queries to make it only have 2 on mobile or something like that.

[coarse haven]

but why do you need media for that, flexbox and grid will already do that

[buoyant shuttle]

I want to place a graph consistent in all platforms

[buoyant shuttle]

That's for width I meant left positioning

Sorry

[calm plume]

@media queries are another way to do that, since you might not always want to flex things, or stick them in grids

[coarse haven]

o. is there a reason why you wouldn't want to flex or grid? in my very new to frontend experience i was feeling like media queries were the way like 10 years ago and now you just flex and grid

[calm plume]

What do you mean by left positioning? Like, on a certain part of the page?

[buoyant shuttle]

Move the position 70% of the parent, moving the element

With position relative

I'm playing with inspect and if I move my screen width to more rbag 1600 my graph doesn't seem all that left it would feel centered

[calm plume]

For example, my site is built on grid columns. But like I said earlier, I want flexible columns, so using media queries, I can choose how many columns, width of columns, etc. based on the size of a person's screen

[coarse haven]

like fully removing the columns on a smaller screen, or just moving them below the other columns so like 1 2 3 4

[buoyant shuttle]

Posting element

[calm plume]

So like,transform: translateX(70%);, which would make the element start on 70% of the parent element

[coarse haven]

cause isnt that the point of like this with css grid : https://codepen.io/eclairereese/full/JZPZWo

[calm plume]

I'm changing the content of the columns as well

For example, take a look at stripe.com. They have grid columns in the background, and if you change the size of your browser window, you can see the number of columns that you see in the background get smaller as it gets smaller

[buoyant shuttle]

Ty, should it be relative or absolute?

[calm plume]

Uh, relative probably

Here's a gif showing how the columns on that site adjust based on width

[buoyant shuttle]

Still don't know the main difference between 2,

Lol

[calm plume]

Wdym main difference?

[coarse haven]

right they used a flex box for that

[calm plume]

No, they used grid if you look at inspect element

Do you see those column dividers in the background?

Those were generating using css grid

[coarse haven]

lexbox

with a css grid to setup inside

the flexbox is choosing how wide it is

[buoyant shuttle]

Like what does absolute actually mean

[calm plume]

No, the @media queries are choosing the number of columns

Yes, flex is choosing the column width

But media queries are choosing the actual column count

[coarse haven]

👍

ok i see

[coarse haven]

but why? given that grid can just... do that already itself ^

your site changing the content of the column i understand i guess, but not this

[calm plume]

Do you see how that can be 6/2 5/3

[coarse haven]

oh, so media queries can keep it uniform but grid by itself cannot

theres no way to tell grid that if it has to wrap, to fill both rows evenly?

[calm plume]

Uhhhhh, no idea

[coarse haven]

fair enough

well thanks dawn you opened my eyes a bit 🙂

[coarse haven]

sry u kinda got lost in the talk of dawn and i. absolute is going to take it out of the flow of the page

heres an example https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/css-practical-guide-position-relative-absolute

see the orange box difference from relative, in the flow with all the others, to absolute, takes it out of the flow and throws it in the top left

[buoyant shuttle]

Np

[coarse haven]

my understanding is you generally want to not use it unless you absolutely have to since it makes for hard debugging, but dont trust me im as new as you are haha

[coarse haven]

Never use selenium unless you are testing your own site. If you really need the js to run use requests-html or something that can render it

But you generally don't need the js to run, more rather you are doing the wrong thing

Cant help with ytdl that's against tos

Not at all

It's like a tank compared to a pistol. Do they both shoot things? Sure. What do you want to use in your backyard for hitting a pop can

And you still don't need that js to run 9/10 times

What's the js doing?

lol... At least have a specific instance in mind before trying to argue you need the js to run

None of that requires js to run on your end

Just make the same final login request that the js put together and called

Rendering a video? Where's it rendering from? Make the same request

You need to hang out more in your network tab

Learn what the site is doing under the hood

Yes

Wow your logged in

Without the sites js running to build a form. Without even loading the login page at all.

Wouldn't be parameters that's the = stuff inside of a url

But yeah you send the login as a post

Tank vs gun example

Selenium for instance comes with support for like 5 different browsers and a shit ton of other crap

Puppeteer (what's under the hood of requestshtml) does not

That's why it's way lighter and better

Takes 1/3 of the time plus faster to code

But again, you generally don't need to render the js your doing something wrong 9/10 times

I mean, I hate bs4 personally. I'd just use requests html. It's a fork of the normal requests by the same core dev with bs4esque commands added in

But if you use requests or urllib bs4 is needed to parse

Most people seem to prefer using the bs4 way but I wonder if that's just memes being spread around like selenium usage

Idk

Maybe you prefer one way over the other

Maybe bs4 is a millisecond faster

Idk

👍

[lunar igloo]

hey there! i've never worked on server side dev in python, but i have used nodejs before, i'm debating between django and flask, which one is easier to pick up?

[calm plume]

Flask is easier to start off with since it's a microframework

[lunar igloo]

ah i see, coming from an express.js background, which one is easier to get started if i want to use the MVC architechture?

[inland oak]

Wait a second.
If I have data stored in memory of application running with Gunicorn...
...and during interaction with one of workers I stored in memory some changed state...
does it mean that it got recorded only into memory of ONE of workers?

All other workers will have their memory clean from this record?

uhuh. So if I'll have situation like that I need to organize a way for a shared memory across workers.

[mossy hamlet]

Hi!
Anyone experienced with Flask and fcgi?
I have an issue that when I run the code via the fcgi file in the server then none of the paths are found unless they are defined in the fcgi file directly.

On my local, I don't have fcgi file but a regular run.py that basically just creates the app.

What extra config do I miss to get the blueprint routes to the server instance?

[scarlet spoke]

I have a question about python web developement

lets say i have a website, and there is a button there

on the button press, can python code be executed?

[inland oak]

yup

[ivory bolt]

I say django for MVS architecture

it's not really that hard

There's a great introductory video by freecodecamp on yt

[ivory bolt]

yep. I have a pretty good idea for how it'd look in django views if you want

[scarlet spoke]

thanks!

is django another language or library?

[ivory bolt]

it's a framework

[scarlet spoke]

What does it do?

[ivory bolt]

for web-development in python

an oversimplication -- it handles the backend

[scarlet spoke]

ohhh

[ivory bolt]

so you can add the entire site logic

[scarlet spoke]

Alright

Django doesn't handle front end then?

[ivory bolt]

it's a VERY good framework in my opinion

[scarlet spoke]

like how the website looks

[ivory bolt]

it has a surprisingly great amount of front-end related functionality to offer

[scarlet spoke]

Dang.

Seems like a good framework to study.

[ivory bolt]

but it's not a frontend framework. It works well withother front-end frameworks like reactjs, angular, etc

[hard patrol]

!code

[inland oak]

If to oversimplify
Framework is a bunch of libraries, tuned to work together very well. They take care of all the most common things developer needs in order to build web app

[quick cargo]

I think you're looking for print in python

[idle moss]

can someone quickly dumb down how python can be used to do some stuff in another app/website, thanks

[quick cargo]

backend

[idle moss]

what are api's and how do they work?

[quick cargo]

cant really be used to do frontend work (although it can do server sided rendering of HTML with things like jinja2)
Backend wise they can act as the content server rendering content like the aforementioned point on frontend, it can be used as REST api / other API backends. Just what ever really

APIs are just a general term used for on thing communicating with another thing really

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7wmiS2mSXY

[idle moss]

and how restrictive are they / how much can you do/control?

[idle moss]

thanks!

[quick cargo]

litterally anything

[hasty cosmos]

Does anybody have experience with multi-part forms in aiohttp? i think i get the server side stuff but i cant understand client side for the life of me

[honest crescent]

how can i make an image circluar in css? or that not possible

[quick cargo]

border-radius: 9999px

[austere relic]

what if my screen is very large?

[vestal hound]

depends

in the simplest case (square image), border-radius: 50%

otherwise, specify height/width (along with object-fit

[honest crescent]

well its squar lol

so i could do that

[inland oak]

Besides print
from pprint import pprint
pprint(yourdata) is nice too. It has auto formatting, identations for easier reading

[weary belfry]

hello can anyone come in help banana

?

[tight dust]

Everytime I make some small changes in CSS and reload the website, the flask server doesn't load the new CSS file

is there any solution to this?

I tried disabling caching by changing headers as suggested in a SO answer, but that doesn't seem to be working

@app.after_request def add_header(r): r.headers["Cache-Control"] = "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate" r.headers["Pragma"] = "no-cache" r.headers["Expires"] = "0" r.headers['Cache-Control'] = 'public, max-age=0' return r

[light apex]

anyone here working with wolframalpha api?

is this the right channel for api though 😅

[mossy hamlet]

Hello.
I have been struggling with this issue for a long time now and I can't find answers online.

I'm trying to deploy a Flask app to an Apache server, with fcgi.
The file that runs the app, dispatch.fcgi, is below.

The issue is that when deployed, it can only find the routes that are @spare ridge.route in the same file.
It does not find any of my blueprints or blueprint routes. Nor can I create blueprint routes in this file after creating the app.

The application works on my local. Only difference is that instead of this file I run a run.py which just creates the app without extra config that Apache wants.

How can I get it to find my blueprint routes?
PS: It's a shared host, therefore I don't have root access so the fix I'm looking for should probably be on py side.

did you register the blueprints to your app?

@thorn igloo Yes, in init.py in the create_app function it does this

[native tide]

First, you may want to have a look at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/class-based-views/mixins/ where you find a bit about mixing Detail View and FormMixin and why better not to do so.

[soft copper]

i still think flask is better than django

no offense

[late gale]

It's working what im talking about that it saves the form to a new model with no fields what i wanted it to do to save it to the current model

[native tide]

Use self.object.save()

In the view

[late gale]

not working

it creates this

but it dont save it to the same model

oh self.object returns the model name so thats cool is there a way to check like Contact.objects.get(name = self.object) then i say Contact.objects.create

cant explain it but let me try

[random lava]

Hi, does anyone know if its possible to call a js function from flask?

[late gale]

        reply = Contact.objects.get(name=self.object)
        reply.save()

@native tide mind if u help im stuck here ik it doesnt have save function but cant type it in code like i want to add the form to it

oh so self.object refers to the model so how to add the form field to the self object cause self.object.reply returns none

ooh waait let me try

ooh i solved it thank you

[native tide]

Try putting self.object.save() in form_valid instead form.save()

[late gale]

    def form_valid(self, form):
        self.object.reply = form 
        self.object.save()
        return super(InboxDetailView, self).form_valid(form)

That helped me

but why it's showing me like this

Reply: <tr><th><label for="id_reply">Reply:</label></th><td><div class="django-ckeditor-widget" data-field-id="id_reply" style="display: inline-block;"> <textarea cols="40" id="id_reply" name="reply" rows="10" required data-processed="0" data-config="{&quot;skin&quot;: &quot;moono-lisa&quot;, &quot;toolbar_Basic&quot;: [[&quot;Source&quot;, &quot;-&quot;, &quot;Bold&quot;, &quot;Italic&quot;]], &quot;toolbar_Full&quot;: [[&quot;Styles&quot;, &quot;Format&quot;, &quot;Bold&quot;, &quot;Italic&quot;, &quot;Underline&quot;, &quot;Strike&quot;, &quot;SpellChecker&quot;, &quot;Undo&quot;, &quot;Redo&quot;], [&quot;Link&quot;, &quot;Unlink&quot;, &quot;Anchor&quot;], [&quot;Image&quot;, &quot;Flash&quot;, &quot;Table&quot;, &quot;HorizontalRule&quot;], [&quot;TextColor&quot;, &quot;BGColor&quot;], [&quot;Smiley&quot;, &quot;SpecialChar&quot;], [&quot;Source&quot;]], &quot;toolbar&quot;: &quot;Full&quot;, &quot;height&quot;: 291, &quot;width&quot;: 835, &quot;filebrowserWindowWidth&quot;: 940, &quot;filebrowserWindowHeight&quot;: 725, &quot;language&quot;: &quot;en&quot;}" data-external-plugin-resources="[]" data-id="id_reply" data-type="ckeditortype">&lt;p&gt;Reply 2&lt;/p&gt; </textarea> </div></td></tr>

[native tide]

(Little and unrelated: super doesn't need those arguments, they are not recommended, super() is enough)

[late gale]

I tried |safe but it didnt fix it

[late gale]

oh ok

[native tide]

Ok, let me have a look at this

[native tide]

Oh, ok

So, does it work?

[late gale]

yeea it did it refered the self.object.reply to the form and it saved it to the model now i have another simpler problem that html tags are like this

Im using Ckeditor and i read documents it says add |safe but it didnt help

let me look again

I'm trying to make a Parallax website demo using Html and CSS but the parallax effect is not working. 😕
Can somebody help?

[twin hamlet]

Actually I want to provide a functionality like a user can able to update details

[frank loom]

no

[twin hamlet]

Means He would be able to make changes in profile

[twin hamlet]

In django how can I do that ?? Anyone knoww ?

[late gale]

U can use Update View for your profile

[twin hamlet]

Actually very new at django

[late gale]

oh let me send u a video that explain it very well

[twin hamlet]

And I really need to provide functionality because working on a proj

[twin hamlet]

which is assigned by a college

[late gale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ90L5jfldw

Corey Schafer is cool

[twin hamlet]

He is using normal views ??

[late gale]

what type of views u want class views or function views

there are two types of views u can use in django

I personally prefer class views for profile

[twin hamlet]

Function views Because I am new to django and Don't know about class based views I tried once using class based views but it is facing errors

[twin hamlet]

Can I share my proj with you

So that you can better understand

[late gale]

class views are very easy to use you just need a tutorial to learn from but let me send u someone used function views for profile

OK

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/update-view-function-based-views-django/

I believe that might help

But I still recommend class views for this

[native tide]

Brown is absolutely right about class based generic views. No need to invent a wheel again. And those views are very easy. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/class-based-views/generic-editing/

share ur code

[jovial sigil]

I'm making a sort of social media app with Flask, and when people post, I want it so if they put HTML in their post it's displayed raw. The post code is injected as a variable with Jinja, like {{ postcode|safe }}.
Like, they post:

<h1>Hello</h1>

The post would show up as:

<h1>Hello</h1>

However, I also want to support injecting HTML (like in their post, \n would be replaced with <br>. So far, however, it's seemed to be either one or the other. How can I pull this off?

[jade lark]

You really shouldn't be allowing users to do that on your site. That's a bigggg security issue. Instead, you should allow markdown or a variant of it.

For instance. I could add a script tag to the site and do some pretty big damage.

[late gale]

can someone please help me I added |safe but it shows me like this here's the code

    {% if object.reply %}
    <div>
        {{ object.reply|safe}}
    </div>
...

hey guys how can i set the port for my heroku application? or this isnt necessary?

im have a local project that works fine but when i deploy i get application error

and a lot of forums said that maybe my process.env.PORT variable is wrong

but i never heard of the term

[native tide]

@leaden carbon did you look into the logs of heroku? they're pretty accurate about the error and then it's mostly obvious what's missing/wrong. And the process.env.PORT variable is just the variable for the port you want to serve it, in debug usually 8000 but I never set it.

[ancient thicket]

Is django the best way to do the back end of a website?

im p new to this stuff

and ill be working on my first website project with a friend

so im wanting to do the back end

looking for something thats a bit more beginner friendly

someone told me they recc flask though

so not really sure what the best route is

[restive pine]

djangos good. They are both really great its just comes down to whats the website going to be?

[ancient thicket]

so im making a website for my uni club

and within that site

i wanna incorporate a section that allows students to look up previous syllabi

for math courses offered by my uni

and i have the website that allows you to search up previous syllabi

so im not sure if i would have to like download every syllabi one by one

if there is an easier way to do it

without doing all of the grunt work of downloading and uploading the file one by one

[restive pine]

sounds cool both will work for you but i guess django will already have the ORM built in

[ancient thicket]

what is ORM?

[restive pine]

so yeah object relation mapping* for your db

[ancient thicket]

ah

so would i have to make a data base with all the syllabi i want to use?

[restive pine]

design choice

i would say it depends what format they are in and whats the functionality you want form it

[ancient thicket]

i have a feeling im going to have to download each syllabus one by one

that will be a bit harsh but its doable

okay thanks so much ill prob end up using django

[restive pine]

you can write a script that scrapes them

[ancient thicket]

hmm asked a friend he told me selenium might be able to do the job for me

[restive pine]

yeah i like requests and beautiful soup both are great

i have my own question i have a site where you can upload large files 30MB wondering what my options are with that. Where should I hold them? i cant save it user side and i would be worried keeping it in memory. I was thinking a bucket and then just deleting them after the session ends any other ideas?

[warm igloo]

Using AWS? Throw them in s3 bucket, set a lifecycle rule to autoexpire them after 1 day. Unless you want them dead sooner than that. At least this way you don't have to code around it, you can just let the lifecycle rule do that work for you.

[still root]

hey can someone explain why this is not working

<script>
    function display(){
        var x = document.getElementById("hello");
        var y = x.getElementsByTagName("ul").getElementsByTagName("li").getElementsByTagName("a");
        y.style.color = "red";
        if (x.style.display == "none"){
            x.style.display = "block";
        } else{
            x.style.display = "none";
        }
    }
</script>
<button onclick="display()">Press</button>
<div class="test" id="hello" style="display: none;">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#">1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">3</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">4</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

after I add the 4th and 5th line the onclick function does not work

but before I do it works perfectly

[dusk portal]

hey anyone's up?

[outer apex]

getElementsByTagName returns an HTMLCollection object. HTMLCollection objects do not have the method getElementsByTagName. If you look at the console on your browser, you should see this error as well. You could simplify that whole process with something like this:

document.querySelectorAll('#hello > ul > li > a').forEach(a_elem => a_elem.style.color = red)

To toggle the style, you could use a ternary 😉

x.style.display = x.style.display === "none" ? "block" : "none"

A quick final note, if you think the functionality behind this styling or certain elements of this styling are going to be applied elsewhere, you might as well write some CSS, and then with your JS, modify the class on the element.
For instance with the hiding business, you could have a class hidden where display: none. Then you can do the toggling for #hello like this x.classList.toggle('hidden') and it'll handle the toggling for you.

One question :

Django or flask which is better?

[vagrant owl]

Django, flask and other python web frameworks have their own usecases

https://ncube.com/blog/top-python-web-frameworks-2020

[ancient thicket]

Yeah I used django spent the whole day figuring out

Really enjoy it so far

[vagrant owl]

First of all ask yourself why you wanna use python for building a project and why not Nodejs or Ruby. Once you are satisfied with your answer, ask yourself what you wanna build using that language. Django, pyramid and other frameworks/libraries all have some specific scenarios they excel in.

You can do everything in one framework that can be done in the other. Whatever you choose, focus on learning the concepts.

[vagrant owl]

Django is good.

[ancient thicket]

Yeah it’s fun

I’m finally starting on my app

Spent the whole doy figuring out environments

Using pipenv command and finding out all the stuff I can do with it

Making new directories

[late gale]

ofc

U've to choose either flask or django both are powerful backend technologies for python

I personally recommend to try them both and choose your comfort

[merry vortex]

https://codepen.io/Chadezi/pen/XWMqogw 4 images i want to fit in page 2 but i am having difficulty can anyone help me? (html and css only)

[late gale]

There are big companies use Flask such as Netflix and Samsung Also there are big companies use Django such as Instagram ,Youtube and Spotify

and I still recommend to try both , they are very close to each other

are u web dev beginner ?

do you know html css js

and what python level do you have

no worries what about web technology ( html css and js)

they are necessary for any web dev

They called frontend technology which means anything u see ( Texts , buttons , images , animations )

if u don't learn those , how you will display your site

to the user

Also

Don't panic , they are easy

Except javascript it's more challenging

Backend technology is completely the opposite it's mostly about database , security , tests and its not easy as frontend

you want to learn backend without html and css ? then how will you build ur website

U need both

but i will provide some links for html css and js and also backend

though i said there are two backend frameworks django and flask but since you are beginner i will recommend flask , its easier

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQWlgd7hV4A

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6NZfCO5SIk

those two links are frontend

now i gonna send u flask

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr4QMBUPxWo

that all u need

[late gale]

what's ur issue

elaborate please

[merry vortex]

i want it to look something like this

im takling about page 2

[untold hull]

should i go for php or python for webdev?

[static spade]

whats the best way to integrate react with flask

[late gale]

oh u mean u dont want images to get stick to each others like u have

[late gale]

this is a python server so ^^ but I recommend to choose your comfort

[late gale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW8VG_U-m48

[static spade]

i see

i saw another method online that just uses flask as an api to query database and such

is this similar to that or different?

[tulip beacon]

hey guys anyone good at react?

[opaque rivet]

@tulip beacon yes what's the Q

[sullen hound]

I am having an issue with Flask. I am on #help-burrito

[safe cypress]

That is fairly hard to answer since it depends on what you want to do. Also, React is JS, this is a Python server 🙏

You are asking about React, this is a Dicord server for Python, not JavaScript. React is in JavaScript. Hope that helps.

[native tide]

yes

[finite ingot]

from my experience, let the frontend convert it, in general it can be advantageous to keep backends fairly agnostic

[manic crescent]

anyone has experience with Twitch API v5?

[opaque rivet]

does anybody know why a decorator on my APIView is giving me the following error?
AssertionError: Expected a `Response`, `HttpResponse` or `HttpStreamingResponse` to be returned from the view, but received a <class 'NoneType'>

class GetEquityStats(APIView):
    @valid_equity_required
    def get(self, request, equity):
        return Response(data="success", status=status.HTTP_200_OK)```

the decorator works, it does not throw any errors and is used in other places in the code.

wondering how you guys use decorators for class-based API views?

[astral pagoda]

Can you get circular imports if you use blueprints in flask?

[inland oak]

show the code of the decorator

in the mean time my question, can I check in django which app names for startapp command are forbidden?

I think I will have possible issue with translator app name

[opaque rivet]

the decorator works:

def valid_equity_required(func):
    """ Decorator for ensuring passed equities are valid. """
    def wrapper(*args, equity, **kwargs):
        if equity_is_valid(equity=equity):
            func(*args, equity=equity, **kwargs)

        else:
            raise InvalidEquity("The equity is invalid.")

    return wrapper

[opaque rivet]

also, why would certain app names be forbidden?

[inland oak]

it breaks django imports.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/intro/tutorial01/
for example name test is not advised, or django

I had experience with translator app I think broke my imports too

it conflicts with already existing django libraries

they aren't written in a perfect way to avoid collisions

[opaque rivet]

ah true, that makes sense

say you were importing something from your app django, it may be confused with the actual package

[inland oak]

return func(*args, **kwargs)

where is return 😉

raise InvalidEquity("The equity is invalid.")
not sure if is good way to handle error. I usually cover it with another Response object which has error inside

[opaque rivet]

do I need to return the function?

[inland oak]

yes.

[opaque rivet]

oh actually yes. Because otherwise I will be returning None

ahhh...

[inland oak]

also recommending to get functools.wraps

[opaque rivet]

True. I use this util decorator in lots of places which isn't in the views (which is why it's like that)

[inland oak]

import functools

def my_decorator(func):
    @functools.wraps(func)
    def wrapper_repeat(*args, **kwargs):
        # my staff
        return func(*args, **kwargs)

    return wrapper_repeat

add decorator @functools, it will transfer meta information

from decorated function to its wrapping

it makes more reliable working in django

[autumn hedge]

I learned a while ago that using static methods can be used as decorators

[mighty meadow]

any method that returns a method is a decorator

[opaque rivet]

I see. I'll do that, what really is the use of transferring metadata? Will I really benefit from having the docstrings transferring through my functions?

[inland oak]

yeah, I learned it yesterday.
Head First book, to learn Pattern Programming is awesome.

[inland oak]

I mean it transfers data like __doc__, your dunder things basically

I needed it in order for my Sphinx generator to get info properly

or in some other cases also

[opaque rivet]

Oh that's a good point

[inland oak]

there are sometimes other things you function has

[opaque rivet]

Thanks! I appreciate the help. I was dead set that my decorator was working too, that's what coding at 6AM does!

[inland oak]

__call__, __iter__ and etc. there are many things, you never know for sure when it will break without them 😉

[inland oak]

u a welcome

[opaque rivet]

tbh, I've never even seen __call__ or __iter__. I'll give em a read

[autumn hedge]

@staticmethod
def do_stuff(dec_func):
   def some_action(*args, **kwargs):
        return dec_func(*args, **kwargs)
   some_action.__name__ = dec_func.__name__
   return some_action

@inland oak I haven't read that book.

[inland oak]

erm. There are too many of them. Better to have some full course meal about it....
I am at the moment reading through all of it in the awesome book clean code in Python
https://www.amazon.com/Clean-Code-Python-Refactor-legacy/dp/1788835832

[opaque rivet]

thanks! i'll write that down

[hardy shale]

Is sharing own stackoverflow question to seek help allowed here?

Its related to django

[native tide]

may as well just copy and paste it

I'm also working with django, out of interest do you know whats the advantage of running django from the commandline, when you can run it from within pycharm

like what's the deal with running a virtualenv from the commandline? I don't understand sorry I'm new

to this

[inland oak]

yes

[hardy shale]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67869064/how-to-enforce-automatic-timestamp-for-django-model-in-database-level

Can you please have a look at it? or should I open a help-channel?

[inland oak]

those two are different questions.

virtualenv should be always used for python projects
probably even your pycharm has it inbuilt by defeault.
it makes sure to store dependency for your projects locally, which you can unload into requirements.txt for easy reinstall on another PC.
storing dependency in global pip is really bad.

running django from the commandlike has advantage of really lazy/easy approach
since it is not requiring to configure your IDE.
if you can configure your IDE, it is usually better and more coomfortable way, because it enables for you additional features, like visual debug and + million of plugins.

[hardy shale]

'probably even your pycharm has it inbuilt by defeault.' - Yes.. PyCharm creates a virtual environment for new projects by default.

[native tide]

yeah I believe pycharm has the virtualenvironment at the bottom

not sure but I think it's called the console no?

[inland oak]

small advantage of using console is...
you will know how your project works when you will install it somewhere else.

using super tools should be a step only after you know how to work without them I think

[native tide]

so are you saying learn with the commandline

but later on I ought to use the pycharm editor

[inland oak]

yup

[native tide]

okay fine, thanks for the explanation

[hardy shale]

The advantages I personally gain from running django server from command line is quite a few for example

My terminal just has everything setup to have full workflow, vim as IDE, server std outputs, database consoles etc.

I don't always want to run on debug mode and test the server using gunicorn or stuffs alike. Being in a terminal you can have mulitple instance running in multiple variants. (you can do this from PyCharm too)

With a complex systems where frontend is on a different stack, there's cache running, you want to toggle between stuffs as fast as possible.

[native tide]

I appreciate it

[hardy shale]

Apart from those, I like my customized terminal more than PyCharm's one.:P

[stark tartan]

👍

[native tide]

I also rather enjoy working from terminal tbh

not that I have much a clue what I'm doing but I learn

im using flask and trying to get my navbar to show on everpage

im using the extend but then

it wont show the pages content

how do i set a navbar on everypage

[balmy lintel]

It sounds more like a Jinja question. If you are using template inheritance then you probably want your top level template (base) to have the appropriate navbar. Your lower level templates will extend that base template and inherit the nav bar. Load your page in the browser and inspect the source html to verify the inheritance works as you expect. https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.0.x/templates/#template-inheritance

@forest hawk instead of return str(output) you can use return render_template_string(output). Jinja automatically escapes a provided string for safety reasons.

Uh-oh! It looks like your message got zapped by our spam filter. We currently don't allow .txt attachments, so here are some tips to help you travel safely:

• If you attempted to send a message longer than 2000 characters, try shortening your message to fit within the character limit or use a pasting service (see below)

• If you tried to show someone your code, you can use codeblocks
(run !code-blocks in #bot-commands for more information) or use a pasting service like:

there's a very, VERY, good & easytounderstand course that I can send you specifically for django

I'll send it

[mighty meadow]

😆I recommend Flask for beginners

[ivory bolt]

I suggest you first take a break from doing anything: that 6 hour course is pretty hefty, you might get fatigued

[strange notch]

dont worry I have been doing this course about a month

[ivory bolt]

Here's the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5mRW0jo-U4

The first few steps are about setting up a virtual environment, then the basic settings of django (where you're stuck at), and the entire foundations of django

it is VERY good

[ivory bolt]

I know but it can still feel tiring

[lavish prism]

@ivory bolt Per Rule 6, your invite link has been removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let staff know!

Our server rules can be found here: https://pythondiscord.com/pages/rules

[daring gust]

@ivory bolt from the looks of it, that wasn't a valid invite anyway.

[ivory bolt]

you can just check this place out: I specifically help guide students for web-dev:
https://linktr.ee/learnencode

Not trying to promote anything here

[ivory bolt]

yep it was an old one

[strange notch]

Tnx for recommending the course but do you have any idea about how can i fix this error?

[daring gust]

@ivory bolt This does count as promotion and you need to ask permission via @hexed spoke first.

[ivory bolt]

surely!

[daring gust]

Sorry, I assumed this is your website. Is that correct?

[ivory bolt]

No, just a link to a few accounts to check out to learn from

it's a linktree, though I fully understand

just put it in case anyone needs anything

[ivory bolt]

can you share your settings.py

[strange notch]

this chat doesnt allow me

[ivory bolt]

also run pip freeze to see wether you have all valid packages or not

in your virtualenv

[ivory bolt]

copy paste as code block

[ivory bolt]

@strange notch as a codeblock, not as a file

[mighty meadow]

or pastebin?

[lavish prism]

[strange notch]

Can you help me

[ivory bolt]

take a look at this

or you copy paste your code, select it, and double click

*right click

chose code-bock

Getting ready to make the shift from learning Python to building the web application I have in mind.
The web app is going to have a few things involved:

• Forms for collecting data through wizards (for new users)
• canvas for building diagrams
• The glue to convert info in the wizard into diagrams
• and other persistent web app goodness such as user, support form, and a few more things to boot.
• Phase 1 is about mapping. Phase 2 is about automation. Phase 3...well, that's a ways off 😉

Assuming that made sense, I welcome any thoughts/questions that immediately surface.
The current landing page is https://www.lanesflow.io/ (built on WordPress, slated to be retired)

I anticipate a combination of custom building and leveraging some already invented wheels 🙂

Hi, i have a litte question

What is the best way to storage products for my shopping cart?

[deep tinsel]

Shoutout to local storage:

https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_win_localstorage.asp

[west peak]

Cookies are an option?

[deep tinsel]

Could be too much data for cookies

Yet, yes

[west peak]

Thanks for the data, ill be watching it

[manic frost]

this text is pretty hard to read

Also, I'd like to be able to try the main product out without having to sign up

like a demo or something.

In the web version of Discord, I tried using bs4 to copy the element, but it displayed "None". What should I do? The only messages I can see are those while inspecting the element, so how should I proceed?

How to make a django notes app?

I have experience of making a blog app but In this I gotta avoid posting some content

[celest bobcat]

hey so i am making an website that uses react with django rest. The site has some info that has to update real time, firstly i was thinking of having the frontend send a request every 0.5 s to the rest api. Will doing this be a bad idea because i think of so many requests the website will lag a lot so what other solution is there?

[deep tinsel]

websockets 🙂

but, a request every 0.5s isn't TOO bad

[celest bobcat]

ty, could u send me a link where i can learn about them and their implementation

[deep tinsel]

This looks like a good one: https://ide.sourcelair.com/blog/articles/115/django-channels-chat

[celest bobcat]

How to get started with django rest

[inland oak]

https://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/quickstart/

[rugged scarab]

I wanna get the values of the highlighted part like DL1 D1 D2 etc. And for this I an using the value of the class to get the XPath. But it's not giving me anything

[fickle plank]

How do I start learning Django/Flask?

[rugged scarab]

The stuff i wanna scrape @ivory bolt

[scenic dove]

search a youtube channel named CoreyMS

it has a great tutorial

also the Django documentation is a good one

[fickle plank]

Okay, thanks! I know all the basics of Python, should I learn anything else before starting Django/Flask?

[scenic dove]

well you will know what to learn after you start
like when you come to urls you will likely go and read about POST and GET

and so on

i started django with only python in my mind just like u now

[rugged scarab]

''' info=train.find_element_by_xpath("./following-sibling::div[1]")'''
something might be wrong with selecting the sibling element

[fickle plank]

Okay, thanks a lot! Btw, I'm a highschooler and started coding 3-4 months ago :)

[scenic dove]

that's good things will probably be easier for u

im not an expert BTW i just started couple monthes ago
u may catch me up!

u may wanna start with polls app they made in the documetation
a simple good start

[cerulean badge]

i am creating a function based login view and using AuthenticationForm for it. my question is how can i change the label of the username field for that form? (context django)

class EditedAuthenticationForm(AuthenticationForm):

    class Meta:
        labels = {
            "username": "your_new_label",
        }

hello everyone,
I'm trying to setup python app on my web hosting by using cpanel but i couldn't install a module named "mysqlclient" it gives error. I have been google it around 2 days but i couldn't find a solution. Could you help me please ?
also the hosting provider is godaddy

[fiery mason]

if i want to create a website where you would make a new room for a game should i use python if i am a bit better at it and don't really have much experience in js

And what framework would I use with python

[inland oak]

Flask for learning, Django for building.

[inland oak]

Shrugs. It can be done in both languages.

depends on which on you are more familiar. If you are better with python, go for python.
But JS would be still used anyway, just in less amount.

It is possible to go without JS completely though

But most people like having more dynamic interactivity on their web sites. Just python usage makes web site a little bit limited

as well as just using Javascript can feel as limited too. Like... I don't believe in JS to work well for backend (to hell with Node.js)

[mighty meadow]

you can use something like Dash, PyWebIO, to avoid frontend coding

[cerulean badge]

is django docs down rn?

[fiery mason]

K ty, and yeah I meant for backend what language should I use

I've found some really specific libraries on js tho

Like colyseus

[mighty meadow]

yep, and also Github, docs.python.org, Stackoverflow etc.

fastly boom.

[inland oak]

well, in this server you will hear only that python backend frameworks are awesome)

i like Django pretty much (with its plugin DRF)

as alternative FastAPI I heard is good too

[fiery mason]

Woah I wonder why 😕

But yeah it seems like js has really specific libraries that cater to my needs

I'll have to read up more

[opaque rivet]

@fiery mason for JS, express is the most popular backend lib. For python, its django.

[fiery mason]

I'm thinking of using colyseus

Because it seems made for game rooms

[dusk portal]

my lyf man!!!!!! noone can figure my issue

i'm gonna give up learning django now

[opaque rivet]

Never heard of it tbh

For small libraries you really only rely on their docs, theres not as many dev resources as more popular libs

[dusk portal]

any1 else wanna try to help

😢

[ivory bolt]

can you send a clearer screenshot

[ivory bolt]

yep
