                    y[course_name]['grade'] = ''

                grade_info.append(y)

I need to check if the course already exists in the dict. For example "English"

if it does, it should create a new nested dict, and attach it to "English"

grade_info[0].update(new_dict) causes the problem of incorrect Syntaxt. It doesn't add the new_dict as a nested dictionary

I feel like banging my head against the wall haha. Been stuck on this for several hours now

[opaque rivet]

What is grade_info[0]

[past cipher]

well grade_info is list containing all the dicts that it loops through

[glad egret]

I have created a text form in HTML and now I want to export the text typed there to my Python code from where I will store them in a MySQL database. which framework is the best for this task.

?
I have heard name of Django, but in it's introductory video every thing they said was about managing multiple pages, urls classes parsing etc. which I dont need now

so can you guys tell me the specefic things I need to know from Django to acheive my goal?

[native tide]

use flask, its newbie friendly and will help u learn concepts and understandings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqhxxeeTbu0&list=PLzMcBGfZo4-n4vJJybUVV3Un_NFS5EOgX&index=1

[glad egret]

thanks

[native tide]

django is just a heavy weight version

that can handle more traffic

[glad egret]

yes I got an idea there

(how can I pronounce your name), according to you, learning what is necessary is a good practice or we should learn everything about a thing?

also I have already written the code for my page using HTML, so can I use it directly or I have to rewrite the entire code again in flask's code?

[plucky wadi]

how many django projects can I deploy on heroku's hobby dyno ?

[chilly falcon]

def put(self,request,pk):
        serializer = StockModelSerializer(data = request.data,partial=True)
        if serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True):
            stock = self.get_object(pk)
            print("working")
            print(request.data)
            print(serializer.data)
            print(serializer.validated_data['quantity'])
            serializer.update(stock,serializer)
            
            response={
                "data": StockModelSerializer(stock).data 
            }
            return Response(response,status=status.HTTP_200_OK)

output

{'quantity': 5000, 'rate': 45, 'manufacture_date': '2020-5-10', 'expire_date': '2022-5-10', 'company_id': 1, 'medicine_id': 1}
{'quantity': 1, 'rate': 45, 'manufacture_date': '2020-05-10', 'expire_date': '2022-05-10', 'company_id': 1, 'medicine_id': 1}
True
True
1
True
45

why my quantity is taking boolean value

it in intergerfield in django

models.py

class Stock(models.Model):
    company_id = models.ForeignKey(Company,on_delete=models.PROTECT)
    medicine_id = models.ForeignKey(Medicine,on_delete=models.PROTECT)
    quantity = models.IntegerField()
    rate = models.IntegerField()
    manufacture_date = models.DateField()
    expire_date = models.DateField()

can anyone help me

[dense slate]

How would I open a single Django endpoint for an external service to point at if I am using a FE front end? Since I am not using URL routes generally in this situation, is there a best way to open an endpoint? Do I need to just open the port and point at the django route/path as usual?

I have the BE port blocked via firewall at the moment.

Should I route a specific url through nginx, or just open the port and access that directly?

[glad egret]

@native tide can you tell me do I need to study whole documentation of flask or just some parts of it?

[dense slate]

Study what you need to get going and then just read more as you need it.

[glad egret]

yes I was thinking same, just wanted to be sure @dense slate . Thanks

[tall plaza]

anyone here using django

?

guys like i am sending image as response into base64 using django. image already are above the 100 mb. but when i see its response in thunder client. thunder client is hanging. though i am getting output

[sonic island]

a week is enough to learn from basics to making a simple CRUD API

[ionic raft]

You can port the html over into the Flask project as a template. If you want to make the page dynamic then you'll need to use jinja templating language for dynamic behaviour (to present variables from the application/DB layers) on the page

[ionic raft]

I would start by getting clear about your goal. What is it?

[glad egret]

what is dynamic?
related to CSS based animations?

[ionic raft]

CSS is about style (form). Dynamic is another word for...I have data that I want to render on the page that changes. In other words, if I have a copyright footer with the year, and I want to keep the year always up to date every time the page opens, then that data changes. In other words, dynamic text that changes depending on the user's context.

[glad egret]

ohh. no my page is a simple form. which I will use to take some input from the user and store it in a sql database

[glad egret]

my goal

[ionic raft]

That's simple enough. You can use html to present the form. Django provides the application layer that will grab the data entered into the form and then store it in the DB.

[glad egret]

a chinese/japanese man advised me to use flask, was he right?

[ionic raft]

Either Flask or Django is an option. However, if you've got just the one main application, I'd recommend Flask.

[glad egret]

in flask do we need to include sql commands in python code? or flask has some included things>

[ionic raft]

Flask is much easier to get setup with, and provides all the functionality (based on what you've shared) that you'd need.

[ionic raft]

Flask uses something called Object Relational Mapping (ORM). This creates files that do the SQL work for you.

"In Flask web applications, to manipulate databases, we can use SQL and Object Relational Mapping (ORM). An ORM makes writing SQL queries easier for a programmer, because it enables us to write queries in an object-oriented language, and then ORM automatically translates it to SQL and retrieves the result as an object."

[glad egret]

so we wont need to type actual sql commans like :

something like create database school;```

[ionic raft]

Django also uses ORM. I've used ORM quite a bit. There is still a learning curve.

[glad egret]

what if I wish to use sql exclusively

[ionic raft]

No. But there is still a learning curve for how you query. You will need to learn about how to work with the ORM manager. However, there is plenty of info out there on it.

In my experience, it's very powerful. I've been working with ORM since July. You can check the url in my profile to see the end result

[glad egret]

like storing user's input in the HTML page into a variable and then work with it normally like a simple sql and python hybrid code. Actually I am a bit experienced in SQL,

[glad egret]

yes I have seen the website. since july you have got 2 amazing customers. congratulations

[glad egret]

is this possible?

[ionic raft]

Very much. LanesFlow has 20 tables with lots of relationships and fairly intense datasets.

And I have no SQL experience to speak of

[glad egret]

so now you know my goal, I want to bring user's input myfrom html page into my code. my html page just act as a simple front end, it doesnt needs to be hosted on web. considering this what all topics of Flask should I study, so that my job is done?

[ionic raft]

Flask will be the simpler start. You'll be able to accomplish your goals.

[past cipher]

webapp
  /models
    /user.py
    /user_details.py

each .py has a table inside. User has a relationship to user_details.

I get this error Mapper mapped class UserDetail->user_details could not assemble any primary key columns for mapped table 'user_details'

how can I split up my models, and not have this issue?

[ionic raft]

LanesFlow is built on Django. But then LanesFlow already has some 10 applications with more planned

[past cipher]

nvm thats not my issue 😄

[glad egret]

I have planned to go till Tutorial section in the documentation, as i think that would teach me how to bring the data from html page to code

[ionic raft]

FLask is great if you want to develop very quickly and the web application is simple (1-3 apps)

[ionic raft]

That's why Flask is a good place to start. You'll learn about the basics, such as serving the web page, coding the front-end/application/DB layers, which will allow you to move data from page to DB and back again.

[glad egret]

actually my project takes input of some data like name class roll and admission number and stores it in a database. in first version, I didn't used a html page or a gui and thus the input and output screen was messy, so this time I focused on including some html pages

now I have only one page designed, and m working on it's backend

when all the pages and their backend are ready i will transform the code to .exe and release it for everyone's use

[ionic raft]

There are some excellent reasons to shift to a web application. Challenges with building an application for an OS is UI. There are tools for web application UI that look good

[glad egret]

for this I have Flutter in my learning list

[ionic raft]

So you want to deliver through an .exe file? That's a different beast.

[glad egret]

and it is one of the reason I don't want to lewarn unnecessary things as I have already have too many things to study

[ionic raft]

You could use web app to deliver for use and be outside the constraints of OS

[glad egret]

not now, as i said my work in only 5% complete now

[ionic raft]

A web app requires hosting it though. Challenges with each approach.

[glad egret]

instead of .exe I may release a flutter app that uses my python code as backend

based on server-client architechture

[ionic raft]

well, the beauty of having a web application is you can build an API to connect the application to. The web app becomes your DB for your app.

[glad egret]

yes, personally I am not a big fan of web apps

[glad egret]

really

?

[ionic raft]

Irony is, I am a fan of web apps...for complex applications. They're OS agnostic. Plus, when it's online, an API means it is accessible by any internet connected app. And if I build offline caching functionality into the app, then users can upload/download information when their device comes online

[glad egret]

only web apps have apis?

[ionic raft]

If you build an .exe application (for windows) you have to recognize that Python is an interpreted language, and building a windows client for Python comes with hurdles. Plus, you're locked to the OS, and have to manage how it ages

[ionic raft]

No. APIs are interfaces between programs. Glue.

A web application is OS agnostic. It doesn't care...Win/Mac/Linux? All good.

[glad egret]

yup, so my modified plan now is to transform all my code on which I am working now to API which I will access from a flutter app

[ionic raft]

Also, an .exe is generally built on a client-server architecture. Are you building the DB into the app? So it is local? Or are you looking for data to be shared?

[glad egret]

yes that is a benefit, but the flutter SDK allows to develop both android and iOS apps from one code base, so lines are equal

[ionic raft]

True. But apps are inherently limited to what they can do. Smartphone OS's (Android/iOS) have constraints.

[glad egret]

i am not sure, if some biological institute or philanthrophist is intrested in my idea/project then database will be shared

[ionic raft]

If the requirement is ultimately to have shared data, then I would go straight there...from design up.

[glad egret]

me too. but currently I have to accumulate all the data

[ionic raft]

Trade offs for all approaches. Depending on the complexity of data collection, presentation and manipulation, a smartphone app could quickly become a big constraint.

[glad egret]

once I have considerable amout of data then I would work on how to share it

[ionic raft]

Plus, the UI formfactor of a smartphone could also be a constraint

[glad egret]

that's why I am planning to make the app just a client that sends request and fetches data from server

[glad egret]

flutter has nice tools for that

[ionic raft]

If it is raw data collection, then I would be curious about whether data is coming in 1 by 1, or you also want to batch input (100s/1000s/more) at a time

[ionic raft]

Sure. But smartphones are physically small.

[glad egret]

one by one. Its tedious😅

[ionic raft]

Tedious == not encouraging.

Building a tedious data collection interface is not a strong start.

[glad egret]

I have seen some UI designers designing great interfaces for small screens too

[ionic raft]

Sure. Data collection is only half the story though. You also need to present and allow the data to be manipulated too.
I"m not writing off an app. Just highlighting tradeoffs

[glad egret]

i know,,,but as I said if some institute or philanthrophist is intrested in my project or understands it's need then i have some plans for that like hiring people to manually type as well as develop some AI to summarize the content

[ionic raft]

And the more complex the datasets, along with the great requirement for manipulating/presenting the data, the greater the challenge becomes.
However, I'm back to data collection and your use of the word "tedious"

[glad egret]

there are quite a few tradeoffs here but as you know success has it's cost

every great idea has trade offs

[ionic raft]

Sorry...hit enter 🙂
If you want to prototype an app, Flask offers rapid value to explore. When you have a DB then you can build an API. With an API you can connect to an app

[rotund perch]

Hello guys ive never used JWT with DRF, can someone simply explains my questions.

1. Why there is refresh token + access token? does that mean if the access token expired the user is not authorized until he goes to the refresh token url? if yes how would a user using the website knows if the access token expired + how he will know how to refresh it or how to do it automatically in django if thats not the case.

2.Why logging out blacklists tokens? my main goal to use JWT is to not store tokens in db and take more storage.

[glad egret]

yes that is the planned roadmap

[ionic raft]

JWT's come with security risks IIRC. I remember seeing a video by a hacker showing how easy it is to hack JWTs.
I use Django's auth model to manage login and serving up controlled resources.
Not a direct answer though.

[ionic raft]

Flask is simple enough that it could serve you very well as a way to prototype the application quickly

[rotund perch]

Wow, thats also an important thing

[ionic raft]

After watching that video...wouldn't touch JWTs with a 10 foot poll

[rotund perch]

had u ever tried Knox?

[glad egret]

@ionic raft according to you which approach is correct:

1. study everything about a library before reading it?

[ionic raft]

No. Not needed to so far. The Django auth model seems very robust. SALT + HASH password storage. Strong

[dense slate]

Access token is used until it expires, which is generally a short amount of time, like 5-15 minutes.

Refresh tokens "refresh" them to be good for another period of time.

[ionic raft]

Not how I learned Django. I focus on the pieces I need combined with pre-research to determine fit....like you're doing now 🙂

[glad egret]

2. studying only as much required at the moment and remaining when it is needed?

[ionic raft]

Sure. Except the video showed exploiting JWTs to hack paywalls.

[rotund perch]

Do u mean Basic token auth, if yes doesnt that take doubled storage by storing both users and tokens?

[glad egret]

means I am on the right track

[dense slate]

Like Twitter and Medium?

[ionic raft]

Specifically, on registration to reveal DB structure and send back info to inflate priviledge without paying

[ionic raft]

No. Like poor use of JWTs. Like anything...poor understanding == vulnerability

[dense slate]

Well, yea.

So is any security protocol.

Doing it wrong = bad.

[ionic raft]

But seeing data related to the structure being sniffable...not strong IMHO

JWTs had the feel of a hybrid of front-end and application security. I'm for an application-only authentication model personally

[dense slate]

You only store the refresh token, but why are you worried about storing them?

[rotund perch]

more storage

[ionic raft]

I don't want permissions being applied on the front end. I want to have the application do the logical work to build the template, and send the built template. Fundamentally, JWTs feel flawed.

[glad egret]

@ionic raft thanks for the nice talk. good night everybody, its 15 minutes past midnighht here

[dense slate]

I guess? It's one field extra. I can't imagine that is detrimental to an app.

[dense slate]

You're not using a FE framework if I recall, right?

You don't need tokens in that case.

[rotund perch]

Okay then, using Basic Token Auth is the best way I think....

[ionic raft]

Right. And big caveat. I don't know much about JWTs at all. But the little I've seen raised many more questions than answered

[rotund perch]

But anyone knows what type of tokens is basic token in django?

[ionic raft]

I suspect my impression was influenced by the idea that, I don't want logic on the front end. That's what the application layer is for.

[dense slate]

httpOnly JWT

[dense slate]

What's your reason for that?

[rotund perch]

okay ty!

[ionic raft]

When I saw the hacker sniff/intercept the JWT (token), inject a different value into the subscription level, and then release the token back to the server to bypass paying for subscription...yeah...that

Like I said...limited knowledge, and more questions than answers

[stark tartan]

Is I can get job only with django and html css js with jQuery or shall l learn React and django rest freamework

[dense slate]

That sounds like it was with a poorly implemented token auth.

[ionic raft]

Sure. But the fact it was possible because subscription level could be passed into the FE for interpretation client-side...that was the astonishing part to me. That's what the application layer is for.

[ionic raft]

And likely poorly implemented architecture too 🙂

The irony is, one app will need a FE framework. That's the research dance I've begun....

[dense slate]

httpOnly tokens specifically do not allow you to modify them on the client-side.

[ionic raft]

Good to know.
Still not decided on how to proceed with choosing the JS framework. However, being able to focus on just the one app....potentially helpful. And, may want to build the data model, and then look to experience/expertise to help with the front-end.

[torpid folio]

can anyone suggest me some good tutorials on django?

[ionic raft]

YouTube - Corey Schafer. 3 years old, but still solid.

[torpid folio]

that's a very small tutorial I guess

[ionic raft]

It's a 16 part series

[torpid folio]

Yes I have seen

[ionic raft]

That series led to the website on my profile

[torpid folio]

the website mentioned in your bio?

[ionic raft]

Yup. All started with Corey. July 2021

[torpid folio]

great

[torpid folio]

didnt you follow any other course?

[ionic raft]

I also did a UDemy bootcamp (for Python/html/css/Flask) and read a book....plus other tutorials...but Corey's series was where I started with Django

[torpid folio]

can you tell the course name and the book name?

[uneven radish]

Hi. So I'm working on a Django project.
In that let's say I have this endpoint, "/account/register/", which displays the form for register on the website.
Now, when the user is registered (successful POST request), I want to display user name for that user saying "Hey, username you are registered".
So I know I have to use HttpResponseRedirect when dealing with POST. Can anyone suggest how to do that?
How can I display this info on that same endpoint "/account/register/" and not creating a new view for that or new endpoint.

[ionic raft]

100 day bootcamp for Python (Dr Angela)
Two Scoops of Django

[torpid folio]

thanks

[ionic raft]

Good luck. Oh and I got bootcamp on sale. 15$

[torpid folio]

udemy provides sale twice a week :p

[ionic raft]

You can build out the view function (or Class) with an if statement to check for whether the request is POST or GET and render accordingly.

[uneven radish]

I already did that.
If POST.
CREATE user.
ELSE.
DISPLAY blank form.

Now, lets say user is successfully registered.

[ionic raft]

I use messages to pop a message up at the top of the page to show successful save/update actions for the user.

[torpid folio]

hey, which frontend technology did you use on your website?

[ionic raft]

Write a message into the context dictionary

[ionic raft]

Django

[uneven radish]

I can write message. That's a good idea.

But how to send CONTEXT with HttpResponseRedirect?

[torpid folio]

isnt django a backend technology?

[ionic raft]

For clarity...html/css for front end. Django builds the html page.

[uneven radish]

To render HTML page saying "Hey username, registered correctly".

[ionic raft]

Hmmm...you're redirecting to another page. A good question. I'd have to think on that.

[uneven radish]

Something like that.

[ionic raft]

I resolve by using render

[uneven radish]

But isn't using render with POST calls a bad practice?

If users refresh the page, the form gets resubmitted again right?

[ionic raft]

I've never heard that. And pentesting on my website hasn't yielded security issues

[uneven radish]

Really?

[ionic raft]

Really. At no point in any tutorial or even reading Two Scoops of Django have I seen render + POST being a bad practice. I can't see why it would be. But I've only been using Django for a few months

[uneven radish]

Okay. I'll try this once. Thank you for this!

[ionic raft]

It gets you context, which gets you messaging 🙂

[uneven radish]

Messages can be sent via request right, or do I have to send it via context?

[ionic raft]

I send via context...
front end

    {% if messages %}
        <section>
            <div>
                <p class="alert-{{ message.tags }}">
                    {{ message }}
                </p>
            </div>
        </section>
    {% endif %}```

view ```py
message = form.instance.task_title
        messages.add_message(
            self.request,
            messages.SUCCESS,
            f'The Task "{message}" has been added'
        )```

Bear in mind, I'm using bootstrap css to colour the p tag based on alert class

[uneven radish]

Okay! Thank you! 🙂

Hey @ionic raft this is one of my app. Can you just check if my POST render is okay?

Because if I do this, I'm able to post multiple same comments with refresh.

Please @ me, if you can tell me how to avoid this if I'm using render?

Please check this!

I'm having problem integrating Beaker for session management in flask. Can anyone share a snippet on how to integrate SessionMiddleware with flask?

[dense slate]

edit: I was thinking you're using redirect. I think you can use redirect to add a parameter.

To use the person's name or username, the page view should be returning the user in the context so you get all your info to display from that.

Or maybe you can even grab it from the session cookie / request header if you want to get it that way.

sorry, i think i pasted it wrong.

[vestal hound]

GET must be idempotent, POST doesn’t; that’s more or less it.

nothing to do with render

which just fills a template

[ionic raft]

Thanks for the clarity. The original question was based on an assumption that using render with POST was a bad practice. that didn't make sense to me.

[vestal hound]

yeah, which is why I mentioned it specifically

@uneven radish I'm using a similar comment approach but differently (screenshot helped). Specifically, I am using a class based view (CreateView) and calling the function form_valid to return the form itself. I'm not clear on how to prevent what you're experiencing with a functional view. However, that does inspire me to test what I do have to see if a refresh of the page will create the same problem.

    def form_valid(self, form):
        form.instance.article_id = self.kwargs['pk']
        return super().form_valid(form)```

POST is actually best practice for sensitive requests which change some database data. Because it is auto semi protected against CRSF attacks.

Tricks like

<img src="url/delete account at site X">

will be automatically more difficult and requiring for attacker to have attack hidden in javascript at least

Further protection with CSRF tokens or two auth is made to have better protection in this direction

@ionic raft
May be I'm overthinking this but Django Documentation Tutorial Part 4 says:

After incrementing the choice count, the code returns an HttpResponseRedirect rather than a normal HttpResponse. HttpResponseRedirect takes a single argument: the URL to which the user will be redirected (see the following point for how we construct the URL in this case).

As the Python comment above points out, you should always return an HttpResponseRedirect after successfully dealing with POST data. This tip isn’t specific to Django; it’s good Web development practice in general.

I can use redirect() because I think I read somewhere it is a wrapper around HttpResponseRedirect.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5823580/django-form-resubmitted-upon-refresh

Also according to the top answer, we should return HttpResponseRedirect after submitting a form.

If I wanted to pass information from my react frontend app to my django backend, would I have to do a post request using something like axios, or could I use request.get(data=data) in a view in my backend?

[glacial yoke]

For example if I had some articles on my site, and they were displayed from the db in django backend, and displayed on react frontend. And if I wanted to change the article on the site, I would have to pass the article id to my backend, so that it could be edited and saved in db. Therefore the article id, and the new text should be passed to django and the db, how could I do that

[final meteor]

Hi, I need some guidance with django

I have a multiselect checkbox table in index.html tied to a submit button
Once i select rows and click on submit, it generates a query string like this

http://127.0.0.1:8000/?btSelectAll=on&id=0&id=1&id=2&id=3&id=4&id=5&id=6&id=7&id=8&id=9

I want that when the GET has id in query_dict, it should be redirected to another page and show the content of 'id' in that page

The redirection works fine as long as i dont attempt to pass the variables like this

def index(request):
    x = request.GET.getlist('id')
    if x:
        context = {'data' : x}
        return redirect('devicedetails')
    else:
        context = {}
        return render(request, 'app/index.html', context)


def devicedetails(request):
    return render(request, 'app/devicedetails.html')

However, the moment i want to do something like this, it doesn't
i dont know what is the correct way of achieving this

and i get error message like this

Reverse for 'devicedetails' with keyword arguments '{'context': {'data': ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9']}}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['devicedetails$']

#in Models
class Post(models.Model):
  title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
  creator = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) #This Will Get me the user id.

#In Views
Posts = Post.objects.all()
print(Posts)

How did you create your database locally? You might have to repeat that process on pythonanywhere.

[wooden dagger]

Hi, I want to create a search box, but it doesn't work.
This is my views.py:
“`
from django.shortcuts import render
from .models import Products

def index(request):
product_objects = Products.objects.all()
item_name = request.GET.get('item_name')
if item_name != '' and item_name is not None:
product_objects = product_objects.filter(title__icontains=item_name)
return render(request, 'shop/index.html', {'product_objects':product_objects})“`

This is my index.html:
“<form class="card card-sm"> <div class="card-body row no-gutters align-items-center"> <div class="col"> <input type="search" name="item-name" placeholder="Search for products" class="form-control form-control-borderless"> </div> <div class="col-auto"> <button class="btn btn-success" type="submit">Search</button> </div> </div> </form>“
For example I have a product called "Laptop", when I search Laptop nothing happens and it still shows me all products (just the URL changes to "http://127.0.0.1:8000/**?item-name=laptop**" )
any suggest?

[outer apex]

The form is appending item-name as a URL arg, and your backend code is trying to get an arg named item_name. Notice the inconsistency?

[orchid fox]

Hello may I ask , what are web framworks ? Like Django and Flask ?

frameworks*

[warm igloo]

Well, think about the word, framework.

Imagine you want to build a house. Would you rather start on dirt, with just a pile of supplies? Or maybe at least the foundation, plumbing, wall studs and roof are on. You just gotta do the windows, doors, electricity.

That is what Flask and Django are. Frameworks for you to build your app on.

[orchid fox]

Ahh I see, well explained . Thank you, but I guess it's possible also to do web apps without these framworks am I right ?

Which I mean is full python

[warm igloo]

Yes, but you'll end up recreating a lot of what they do.

Flask is much lighter than Django for instance. Django is said to include everything and the kitchen sink as a joke.

I prefer Flask for most of my web work.

or FastAPI

[orchid fox]

Ahh I see, haha understood . May I ask what your web work is about ? I would like to understand more deeply . By that I mean what projects do you do as example ?

So basically Flask and Django are tools to help .

Oh yeah I also search up about these 2 framworks software and it is said that flask is lighter

framework*

[warm igloo]

Oh sure. Well, personally I build web apps for like dashboards or tools inside my homelab. I also have a blog that is statically output from the pelican static site generator (it's written in python but not me). I also wrote a short-lived website called warcache.com that was for one of my hobbies (wargaming).

Professsionally I use it to write and read APIs, glue systems together, do system admin work cause I hate writing bash scripts, have a few spiders running at any one time scraping data from websites. Hmm, oh, when we were testing out building apps for the Amazon Alexa devices, I did all that voice work in python. Originally in nodejs, but I found the python way better and rewrote it all.

[orchid fox]

I see, what's a homelab

[warm igloo]

Ah, sorry. I have professional grade networking switches, servers, a small kubernetes cluster built from raspberry pis, and such. Basically, I mess around with hardware, networking, and software as a hobby.

[orchid fox]

I see . Do you get paid for these hobbies if I may ask ?

[warm igloo]

No. Hobbies are for fun. 😄

[orchid fox]

Oh wow I see . Well that's interesting

[warm igloo]

I am an engineer though and do get paid for that. Or more now, my role is less making stuff and more overseeing growth, development, and careers of other engineers.

[orchid fox]

If I may ask, I would like to make educational websites, what would you recommend to me to start using to achieve my website ?

I'm currently learning HTML, CSS and JAVASCIRPT. Also Python .

[orchid fox]

Why is that ?

[warm igloo]

Great start. You don't need much more than that. One of the trickiest pieces you'll run into is setting up hosting but I'm sure you can figure it out. There are tutorials out there to help you.

Why is what?

[orchid fox]

That your role is less making stuff and continue on from that sentence

[orchid fox]

Can I make the website only using Python ? ( With Flask or Django of course )

[warm igloo]

Gotcha. I'm 20+ years in so I make less stuff for work because most of my time is as an engineering manager. I oversee teams. And currently my role is all about continuous learning, mentorship, and growing the company.

[orchid fox]

Wow I see, what tips do you have for a University student then ? Since I am one . I would like to know what you would love to see from a University student before going in the workforce life

[warm igloo]

Sort of. Remember though, all websites are in the browser are HTML, CSS, and JS. Python is on the server side. So you will write python but ultimately it is outputting HTML etc. You will still need to know HTML and CSS at least.

[orchid fox]

Ahh I see, than that's good ! I'm learning both at least so I can make the perfect website

[warm igloo]

I definitely have advice on that but my eyes are closing fast. I'm pretty tired. If I'm around tomorrow I'll try to answer. G'night. 🙂

[orchid fox]

Ahh alright then thank you for your responses then . Good night !

??

@wooden ruin

Guys can u suggest me a backend framework?

[wooden ruin]

why would it? the loading time of a page depends on a variety of aspects that don't just depend on the backend framework. For python, flask or django are your main options

[mystic vortex]

@wooden ruin is it possible to use async with django?

you can certainly use async with django, both through async views/middleware or even through websockets. and i've never head of falcon before

I have installed flask on a virtual environment in a folder and I am coding in a file inside that folder but when I run it according to the way given by the documentation, it says that flask isn't installed. can you help me how to solve this

[jovial cloud]

You need to activate the venv and don't put any of your python files inside the venv(they should be at the same level like siblings)

[glad egret]

so i must create a new folder to write code instead of writing code inside Scripts subfolder of venv?

how is venv activated

can you give me an screenshot of a flask project to understand more clearly @jovial cloud

[jovial cloud]

I'm not with my laptop rn but you can check out this link for a good project structure https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/tutorial/layout/

[jovial cloud]

You can either do that or put the file outside of venv in your base folder

[glad egret]

how to activate venv?

[jovial cloud]

On Windows, venv\Scripts\activate
While on Mac/Linux

source venv/bin/activate

[glad egret]

I am getting same error which means the problem is that my venv isn't active

[glad egret]

I should type it beforeset FLASK_APP=project?

and in ther terminal of VS code?

[jovial cloud]

Yes, that is to activate the virtual env. Then you can pip install whatever you need (like flask and others) and also set environment variables (like FLASK_APP, FLASK_ENV)

Use command prompt, I don't know the command for powershell

[dusty moon]

How do I do that?

[native tide]

you know like this

[dusty moon]

Oh, nice

I’ll do that.

[native tide]

yeah my assumption is that it may be because of changes of font.

[dusty moon]

Btw, I’ve heard a term called CSS reset. Can that help?

[native tide]

not sure, have not used personally yet.

[dusty moon]

Me too. Just wondering

[native tide]

but i mean to be very honest, some minor changes will be there when you switch OSs.

[dusty moon]

Yeah I see.

Also, margin of an <hr/> doesn’t change on windows too.

Windows sucks 😦

[native tide]

being a web dev you gotta see everything, especially the OS which gets used most.

[dusty moon]

I know

[native tide]

you can either complaint or just move on with divs lol.

[dusty moon]

I’ll just see what I can do with it. It’s a problem when my pc is trash and can’t run VMs. If I could run VMs, I could test the site on Windows too.

For now, I’ll just ask my friend to run it on his machine for me.

Anyway, thanks for the help @native tide !

[fallow meteor]

their are some websites where form fields appear one at a time. Like first they say to fill Field A, then we click Next, and then Field B appears after reloading or something and so on. How can i create a such a system in flask ??

[fallow meteor]

pls ping if u can suggest a approach

[native tide]

I think your frontend should be handling this, idk how this works in vanilla js but I did something like this in Blazor (frontend library for C#), basically you create a state with all the form fields and update the states data and pass it with the form's flow.

[fallow meteor]

can u pls explain more about this?

Well I would need more info on your app? What it's using for the frontend?

well i use normal html and bootstrap for frontend

i guess thats not what u were hoping

I set it up and it works, but I can't figure out what's it supposed to do with the from_email parameter. Is it supposed to appear somewhere in the body/subject of the sent email?

I ended up just jamming message_email into the message parameter like this

    path = request.path[:-1]
    context = {'path':path}

    if request.method == "POST":
        message_name = request.POST['message-name']
        message_email = request.POST['message-email']
        message_text = request.POST['message-text']
        context['message_name'] = message_name

        send_mail(
            f'prtfl - Message from {message_name}',     #subject
            f'{message_text}\n\nFrom: {message_email}', #message
            message_email,                              #from_email (this thing here)
            [str(os.getenv('email'))]                   #recipient_list
        )

        return render(request, 'main/contact.html', context)
    else:
        return render(request, 'main/contact.html', context)```
But is this the correct way to go about it?

Hey i am getting this error while trying to deploy on heroku with gunicorn I am not sure what does it mean could someone help

[spiral blaze]

@fallow meteor do i have to learn like css or html first or can i just dive in?

[late creek]

seems about right, just maybe save that same info in a database so if the email fails u have a backup

[late creek]

share your code?

[junior vale]

thanks for the concern i figured it out 🙂

[late creek]

:)

[junior vale]

i ran the app twice 🤦

[dire urchin]

i see, thanks!

also good idea

maybe a dumb question but do i need to let the user know i will be dumping their info into a db?

[inland oak]

if your database is going to be without password and other protections, then yes

[vestal hound]

that's a legal question

depends on your jurisdiction

and what info it is

[dire urchin]

the user's email and whatever they put their "name" as, along with the message, but I'm already shying away from this idea

[manic frost]

Is there any way to do dependency injection with HTTPEndpoint in Starlette without reinventing the wheel?

The easiest solution I can think of is a function that returns a class, but that's cursed and adds an indentation level

[dense slate]

If I have an event hit an endpoint directly on my Django backend (Next/React frontend), how do I send a response to the front end to go to a certain page when it's finished, since in this case Django isn't controlling navigation on the frontend?

[fallow meteor]

u need some basic knowledge about them, atleast about html

cuz u will be using bootstrap for the most part for styling, so u need some knowledge

but its easy, i guess it would take 30 mins to gather the knowledge of most of the html tags and all

[spiral blaze]

iam following a tutorial just now, for django, i typed in everything the same and somehow an error occurs

[mystic vortex]

is it wrong ??

yes because there is some answer, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57240608/typeerror-coroutine-object-is-not-callable

did you tried it?

and exactly your error https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51459793/python-typeerror-coroutine-object-is-not-subscriptable

[mystic vortex]

@snow sierra can u show me a example of how to make a post request?

[snow sierra]

I'm using Django :x

and no time to test some cases on flask, later evening maybe

[mystic vortex]

django is better right?

if yes so can u tell me how can i get started?

someone tell me how can i get started with django

???

[dire urchin]

either look up the docs or youtube search django tutorial

[frank shoal]

I can tell you how to get started with fastapi

[mystic vortex]

i am going with django

thanks for helping

[meager anchor]

the official django documentation has a really good tutorial that explains how django works and shows idiomatic django code, it's a really good resource to get started with django: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/intro/tutorial01/

[mystic vortex]

i am reading this rn

[frank shoal]

shell: ```sh
pip install fastapi

app.py: ```py
from fastapi import App

app = App()

@app.route('/')
def home():
  return "Hello, world!"

main.py: ```py
import uvicorn

if name == 'main':
uvicorn.run('app')

Ok, I go now

[meager anchor]

fastapi and django are really for two different kinds of projects imo, django is absolutely brilliant for user-facing sites and fastapi is absolutely brilliant for well, APIs

[frank shoal]

fastapi pairs well with frontend frameworks, like react or vue

[mystic vortex]

honestly django is just amazing

@meager anchor isint is possible to create chat room with django

[mystic vortex]

ok so fast api is good for apis right?

[meager anchor]

yes, although you probably want to add a layer like https://channels.readthedocs.io for that

[meager anchor]

yes

i use it at work for a few things and it handles very very good volume

[frank shoal]

fastapi supports websockets fyi

[native tide]

if anyone is good with beautifulsoup and don't mind helping out #help-cupcake

[torpid folio]

can anyone suggest me some good tutorial on websocket?

[weak mulch]

Just search up socket io python integration

Youll find pretty good tutorials.

[native tide]

Thank you, sorry for the late reply. I installed wsl2 and it works fine for me atm

[runic lodge]

Great! i'd highly suggest installing windows terminal from microsoft store

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal/9n0dx20hk701#activetab=pivot:overviewtab

[shut relic]

What to choose for creating an api + websockets. FastApi or django + DRF ??

I like the documentation of fastApi but I dont know if its going to be alive for very long

FastApi looks good but I dont know if I will be able to find any help with any edge cases that will occur in the project as it gets bigger

[calm plume]

FastAPI is wonderful for API creation, I've used it multiple times

[warm igloo]

FastAPI is very popular and catching up to others. It is actively under development.

[shut relic]

what are its weaknesses to django drf?

[warm igloo]

Not familiar enough with DRF. I never reach for Django as to me it's just TOO big.

[calm plume]

Honestly, if it's just an API, I'd always go with FastAPI, it's much simpler

I'd only use DRF if it heavily ties into another Django project

[shut relic]

hm ok that sounds good

I really like it I just want to be sure that I will not have any problems in the future

I want my api to communicate with a machine that sends and receices geolocation data with websockets

also to have user auth and roles

[calm plume]

FastAPI is very actively maintained, it's pretty popular. I doubt you have to worry about it losing that.

[calm plume]

You can definitely do that with FastAPI

[shut relic]

ok nice

[calm plume]

The FastAPI database guide could help you with that https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/sql-databases/

[shut relic]

thnx

I am also thinking of using this https://hub.docker.com/r/tiangolo/uvicorn-gunicorn docker image

my plan is to make a small stack that I can scale to multiple machines if needed

like use a load balancer in front and multiple API containers (fastApi) in the back

with 2 postgres databases one as main and one as the replica

[ionic raft]

@uneven radish another post mentioned the following:
POST is actually best practice for sensitive requests which change some database data. Because it is auto semi protected against CRSF attacks. Tricks like
<img src="url/delete account at site X">
will be automatically more difficult and requiring for attacker to have attack hidden in javascript at least

All I can say is that the documentation you cited is a bit general. Updating a DB is another layer complexity, and I'm curious about that recommendation when placed against what the CRSF token is supposed to protect against. While I get why you're posting what you've posted, the CRSF token is supposed to protect against the potential gap being listed. And in between various tutorials and the book, Two Scoops of Django, I've just not see anything that highlights POST (assuming a CRSF token is used - which has to be explicitly turned off to not use) and render as being a problem.

On the plus side, this is all good research. Deep research and finding out best ways to get the job done can only be a good thing. Good luck. 🙂

Side note: And it's this sort of debate/conversation that is exactly why this Discord is amazing 😄

[manic frost]

the correct way to protect against that is to implement CORS correctly

but it could still be an issue with images and such if you allow embedding your own images

...which is not a good idea because you can make IP grabbers that way.

[uneven radish]

Thank you for taking out time and replying.
I'm still not convinced how can I use render to return after I have successfully added a new comment under my blog (my application) or dealing with my POST call. I tested and tweaked my code but still couldn't remove that resubmission form error when using render().
However, if I use redirect and I don't have to deal with that problem.

I am just a beginner at this point following a book. Maybe in later chapters, they will introduce and differentiate or make things more clear. I'd still use redirect at this moment because of obvious reason.

If you test your code further, do let me know the findings and also post your code snippets.

And I completely agree about this being a good research. We will be learning something new and remove bugs one at a time.
Cheers! 🍻

[inland oak]

So many safety mechanisms already there, all we need just to turn them on

CSP technically protects too for same purposes

It will ensure that only your javascripts will run

It is more against XSS though

[uneven radish]

You've been following this conversation @inland oak ?

[inland oak]

Just few last posts

[uneven radish]

The issue was when successfully dealing with POST call when I use redirect to return and refresh my form page my form isn't submitted again. But when returned with render, I can submit my form N times just by refreshing.

[inland oak]

More precise phrasing would be:
Use POST to change state of smth
Use GET for things that change nothing :b

Well, and we can also
Use PUT to update or replace
Use DELETE to delete ;b

[inland oak]

That is bothersome

[inland oak]

Not sure what to do with it.
I deal only with back and devops.
Front is still a mystery land for me

I can advice to try generating unique hash in your msg data

And validating that new recorded msg is not having the hash perhaps

It sounds as not perfect solution though 🤔

[uneven radish]

Yeah!

Sounds like a workaround.

Also, the redirect commented works perfectly and do not add same comment again if user refreshes their webpage.

[inland oak]

I am afraid that you will have hash collisions in this case

Perhaps to use hash with time expiration in it

If hash was generated longer than N time ago. To ignore it

The time can be inbuilt into the hash and encoded

Extracted on decoding back

[uneven radish]

Umm... Still an overkill solution.

[inland oak]

Validating that new msg is not equal to previous one?

[uneven radish]

Why validate explicitly when Django can do that for me? And prevent resubmission.

If I use redirect, of course.

[inland oak]

It can? 🤔

[uneven radish]

Well, not exactly "validate" but prevent form resubmission upon refresh.

[inland oak]

Oh, u mean... just wipe the field data after submission

[uneven radish]

Yup yup.

[inland oak]

That actually sounds like easier solution

Just redirect is not sure if best option to deal with it

Perhaps a bit of javascript

To clean stuff after you

[uneven radish]

Yes. It can help. Currently I'm trying to explore vanilla Django options to achieve this.

[inland oak]

I would try Svelte to do front part

It has jinja like language too that we got used in python

It should make smooth transition

[uneven radish]

Thanks. Will look into it. First time hearing it tho.

[rotund perch]

(NOTE: USING REST FRAMEWORK)
Hello, so I have a model that has a Title, Description, User(Foreign).
Getting all with the queryset model.objects.all() returns me many objects, for the serializer we can easily put serializer(model.objects.all(), many=True) but how do I access some attributes for every object I also want to add some data with the response for every object.

Ive did that with only one object of the model:

GetObject = model.objects.get(id=id)
serializer = ModelSerializer(GetObject, many=False)
data = { } 
    data['response'] = 'Success!'
    data['user'] = GetObject.user.username
    data['title'] = serializer.data['title']
    data['description'] = serializer.data['description']
    #etc....
return Response(data)

Ive also tried another way for multiple objects but I dont think its a good way to do it + I didnt know how to return that as a Response

  data = {

  }

  for objects in GetObject:
    objects_id = GetObject.get(id=objects.id).id
    objects_title = GetObject.get(id=objects.id).title
    objects_description = GetObject.get(id=objects.id).description
    data['id'] = objects_id
    data['title'] = objects_title
    data['description'] = objects_description
    print(data)

[dusk portal]

def notes_delete(request,note_id):
    if request.method =='DELETE':
        qset3=Notes.objects.filter(id=note_id).delete()
        messages.success(request,'DELETED')
        return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('home:index'))
    return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('home:index'))```

so what it is doing is it's directly rendering home page

not deleting

ohk done

[lapis basalt]

Hello,
Please is there any way in flask (with celery, redis or any other tool) to stock the user requests in a queue and proceed in each time only max 5 requests in parallels and then proceed the others and so one (like amazon sqs principle) to avoid sever over process capacity issues

[opaque rivet]

@lapis basalt I'd imagine you could do something like that with nginx

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nginx.com/blog/tuning-nginx/amp/

Override the .to_representation() method of your serializer (read the docs on this) - it allows you to modify the data in serializer.data

@rotund perch

[rotund perch]

Can u do an example if possible?

[opaque rivet]

The docs probably do

[rotund perch]

Okay thank you!

[lapis basalt]

@opaque rivet Thanks! I will see

Also I have a question, does each gunicorn worker spawn a django process?

[ivory thunder]

Hi, I have a http client (phone app) that does not tell me what it is doing. Does anyone know how I can set up some test server to see what its requests look like? headers and data? (Thinking about e.g. httpbin.org but this does not show the request easily on the server side)

[vestal hound]

wouldn't it get confused when it didn't get proper responses

[normal token]

Hi, so my friends and i are thinking of working on a django project together and currently the whole project is on my pc. My question is can i share the whole project using GIT and if I succeed, do they just have to download the project and runserver to make it work (assuming they have the requirements.txt files)?

I was confused because there are commands such as manage.py startapp etc, and was wondering how to go about this. Thanks for helping a noob

[ivory thunder]

@vestal hound yes I just want to analyze the request details at first. Later I will write the server - the client is fixed, I just need to understand it so I can write the server side

[ivory thunder]

At work we're using github to work on the same codebase. Doesn't matter which language or whatever. Would recommend getting to know the git/github workflow, it's fairly universal outside python, too. (And many more people should use it, I think)

[normal token]

Cool
So it's not like startapp etc is mandatory right? Let me be clear.. so they can just download the project and run it on their pc?

[ivory thunder]

git is for collaborating on code with other developers - not for packagiung and distributing code as a runnable entity (although github, which uses git for many of its features, do have some packaging and distribution features)

[vestal hound]

use like FastAPI or Flask?

with one wildcard route

then just inspect the request objec

[ivory thunder]

not a bad idea! I've begun working a bit on this approach since I did not find anythning ready made

[vestal hound]

this should be doable in like 15 min

[ivory thunder]

so I have 10 min left to do it...

[normal token]

so they can just python manage.py runserver No?
then they make an app, upload it on github and I download it. does it work like that?

[ivory thunder]

@vestal hound docker run httpbin is like 5 sec though!

[ivory thunder]

That is one way to do it, if you prefer

[normal token]

What's the other??

[ivory thunder]

There are many ways to work together. Keep people's competency and interests in mind, and if they're motivated you should be fine

@normal token there are 9 million. zipping code to sharepoint, deploying code to aws, docker-containers can deploy the app, ...

[vestal hound]

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/{route:path}")
async def all_get(request: Request, route: str):
    print(route)
    print(request.headers)
    return None

repeat for POST, I guess

and the others if you need them

[ivory thunder]

@normal token maybe if you explain who the people are and what their tasks are, you'll get more concrete answers

@vestal hound brilliant, didn't think about the path trick there!

[vestal hound]

👋

[normal token]

Oh ok
Its just my friends and I are thinking of making an e-commerce website and I have already made a few apps.. but i don't know how can I share the code with them except Github, even then I was confused with problems such as maybe they have to startapp etc

[ivory thunder]

will they also be writing code?

[normal token]

Your answers made it clear, tho I'm worried I may have to get Github pro for that

[normal token]

Yes!

there are 4 of us

[vestal hound]

no, there's no need for any subscription

but

it sounds like you're not familiar with devops

so this would be a good time to start

[ivory thunder]

ok, you might need github pro if your team uis larger than X, etc

[vestal hound]

there is this school of thought that "your app should be deployable with one command"

[ivory thunder]

agree, someone needs to handle the opsy stuff, deploying to a website etc

[normal token]

Oh ok.. so how do I share the code with them first of all?

So I need to grab someone in my class who's interested in devops now.. haha

or is devops something that is manageable to do alone?

[ivory thunder]

for working on code together, use git. Then put the git repo somewhere safe - github is one good option

@normal token someone needs to do it. Yes possible but it is some work if you want to automate everyting well

[normal token]

Cool!

Thanks a lot @ivory thunder 🙂 Great help

[vestal hound]

it's not super hard

and it's a good time to start

you can look at very basic things

like running your tests automatically

[normal token]

Cool I will look into it 😄
Devops- like aws etc?

[vestal hound]

not reaaaaally

AWS is one place you can deploy your project, yes

but devops, in general

is about turning your code into a working product

so integration, deployment, support, etc.

[normal token]

Oh ok! That's a good explanation, thanks!

[vestal hound]

np! it's not simple but it's always good to learn

you can check out #tools-and-devops too

[normal token]

👌 👌

(lmk if this isnt the best place for this)

Hello i wanna ask a question can i make like a bot and integrate it with Django so when I add a post on my blog site it automatically add the same post and image on facebook and instagram , is that possible ?

[devout coral]

Yes is it possible.

However, I’d suggest you look at the Facebook API as opposed to making a bot.

[devout coral]

I have a question, let’s say I am making a Django application to track user availability. What is the best way to store the available times on a given day for a user?

I can think of two options but not sure which is best or if there is another alternative.

1. Create an Availability model and an AvailabilityDay model that have a one to many relationship. I can then set the day of the week for the AvailabilityDay and a string of times(11AM,12AM,etc.) for the available times that day. Then I make some setter and getters for those times to use datetime objects.
2. Have the same two models as above but add an extra model like AvailbilityTime that will simply store those available times as datetime objects with a one to many relationship.
   Thoughts?

[vernal lotus]

anytip for django modal?

[vestal hound]

I actually handled this problem before

so…

is that like regular availability?

i.e. it repeats every x period

or more like a calendar

[vestal hound]

so every day is unique

[devout coral]

Regular availability yes. Say a user is available 11AM 1PM and 2PM on Sunday

[vestal hound]

and that will be true for all Sundays?

[devout coral]

Yes exactly

So I’d only store a week

And that would be true every week

[vestal hound]

what are your predicted query patterns

like what kind of queries do you foresee yourself executing

[devout coral]

See who would be available at any given day/time

And of course see all available dates/times for a given user

[vestal hound]

so the thing is

hold up

which database?

[devout coral]

MySQL most likely. Maybe Postgres

[vestal hound]

so the thing is

Postgres has p good support

for datetime ranges

[devout coral]

Kinda torn between the two right now.

[vestal hound]

but these are concrete datetimes

whereas what you want to deal with is more abstract

i.e. “any given Sunday at 1 PM” vs “this particular Sunday”

so

there are a few ways to do it

[vestal hound]

1. use this and model all your dates from the epoch week

2. come up with a custom encoding of your data

one thing I did before was

encode each period

as a bit

(30 min IIRC)

then matching availability = bitwise AND

in hindsight maybe that was a bit overengineered

[vestal hound]

this would be the other option I can think of

not modelling as concrete datetimes

but more like…a table with id, day, hour, minute columns?

[sonic island]

can anyone suggest something to make as a project using django and DRF?

[vestal hound]

then you have to perform the datetime logic manually

[vestal hound]

todo list is standard

[sonic island]

done that already:)

[vestal hound]

card game

[devout coral]

That was the idea with simply storing times as a string and encoding it/decoding it when needed.

[vestal hound]

you could

I personally don’t like it but there isn’t really a standard solution for this I believe

and it’s not horrible but

well

you can’t filter on database level

at least, not easily

if I understand you correctly

[vestal hound]

and this is Bad

[sonic island]

anything other than a game?

[vestal hound]

dude I gave you two suggestions

how about a shop then

or a blog

[novel grove]

I have my own question via flask. let’s say i have 2 users, user 1 and user 2. User 1 has info stored in a database and user 2 reads that info and removes it. Is there a way i can have user 2 tell user 1 info related to it. (like have them connect)

[vestal hound]

what?

[novel grove]

or just interact in general

[devout coral]

Yeah, that’s the bad thing. The main problem I guess is I don’t just need a range I need individual times. Since it can be 11AM-1PM and 6PM-8PM for one given day.

[novel grove]

i want to have 2 separate sessions interact

is there a way for that

[vestal hound]

I mean

those are discrete ranges, right

[sonic island]

shop is a nice one 🙂

[vestal hound]

actually

you know what

in the abstract sense

you can think of the problem this way

each user is associated with a set of tuples

where each tuple contains the start and end index of a datetime range

e.g. (28, 32) would be 2 AM to 4 AM on Tuesday

assuming your week starts on Monday

[vestal hound]

then two availabilities match for which the intersection of the inner intervals is nonempty

[devout coral]

Well the day of the week thing Can simply be an int field in the day model so not worried about that.

[vestal hound]

this feels like the best idea though

at the moment

[devout coral]

Ok cool, this might be what I do.

[vestal hound]

so you have 168 rows per user

assuming 1 row per hour

and 24 hours per day

not too bad I guess

[devout coral]

Yeah, which is what I had thought of doing.

[vestal hound]

you could also check if there’s a more specialised database

for this use case

[devout coral]

Because instead of doing it like that I could simply make a model that just stores a time and have it relate to a model that stores the day.

[devout coral]

Well, this is only a small part of the entire application.

[vestal hound]

the query would be like

hm.

[vestal hound]

do you need to see intersections between users

[devout coral]

Not necessarily, the data would really be used to schedule them to tasks that run at some given times/ranges of time.

And to optimize who goes to what task based on availability and some other factors.

[vestal hound]

this could be just User.objects.filter(availability__id=40, availability__status=True)

I think? haven’t done Django in a year 🥴

[devout coral]

Well. I’d probably look for users where their available days and times are within a specified range. Not sure what that availability__status represents.

But I think making models for the times and days makes it much simpler to create the queries for it.

I appreciate the feedback. Might pick your brain for some other insight as I finish organizing my project.

[vestal hound]

yup

it becomes a question of efficiency

you could look into the bit type

feel like that would be best

atb!

[devout coral]

Yeah, which is why I was scared of the amount of rows per user.

However, this might be premature optimization.

[devout coral]

Doing it with bits I mean.

[vestal hound]

my concern is more the accuracy of the data model

bits are harder to work with in Django

but it just seems like a nicer representation to me

shrugs

[devout coral]

What would lead to inaccuracies?

[devout coral]

You are probably right, a bit outside my comfort zone right now. Probably should focus on getting this thing designed built and deployed first.

Another option is to have 24 Boolean flags in the AvailabilityDay model but that sounds like a nightmare lol

[vestal hound]

not really accuracy in that sense

more like

how appropriate the data model is?

ease of use

[devout coral]

Yes, seems to be just a big table for no reason when you think about it I guess.

Since most of the rows would be similar since they only store one hour.

[vestal hound]

I like bits because it’s just one column per user

and no joins required

and you can do everything in the DB

[coarse yoke]

hello there. do you have an experience with gzip on the heroku?

[devout coral]

Yeah, I’m thinking of something similar. But storing tuplesnof time objects.

For example let’s say you have a AvailabilityTimeRange model with two fields upper and lower. You would store a range the user selects (upper=11AM, lower=11AM) or (upper=11AM, lower=6PM).
So then you would basically save multiple ranges if the person decides to have an hour gap or more and if there is no gap it just extends the range.

This would make the query a slightly more complex than storing the individual times but would decrease the amount of rows per user significantly.

[vestal hound]

but how do you query efficiently?

[devout coral]

Trying to work that out now as we speak of it. Because the way I’d want to query it is give me a user that is available between this time range.

[vestal hound]

I don't think you can do it @ DB level without range support

and even then

not sure if Django would support that

think you'd need raw SQL

[devout coral]

One way I can think of doing it which is not a great approach is to build a tuple or list for the required range so let’s say (11AM, 12PM, 1PM) for 11AM-1PM. Then do the same for all the ranges in the availabilities and see if the required tuple is in the other.

[vestal hound]

that would be in Python

[devout coral]

Yes

[vestal hound]

it's not hard in Python

[devout coral]

I mean, this is being built in Django after all.

[vestal hound]

but

[devout coral]

Don’t have to do it at the database level right?

[vestal hound]

filtering in Python will not scale

[vestal hound]

don't HAVE to but

[devout coral]

Ok

[vestal hound]

for any appreciable number of users it's unlikely to work

because you'd need to pull all that data over the wire

[devout coral]

Scalability is key, which was the big concern with the 168 rows per user

[vestal hound]

168 is not a lot

[devout coral]

Ok

Then I just go with that approach lol. Optimize later.

[vestal hound]

that would be like...at most a KB per user? with 1 million users that's only 1 GB

in general I would say compute is harder to save on than memory

so

go for whatever lets you optimise on the DB side

but YMMV

[devout coral]

Well, not just thinking of the space taken I meant the amount of time to query such a large table.

YMMV?

[devout coral]

Because at 1M users you could have 168M records.

[vestal hound]

your mileage may vary

[vestal hound]

it should be indexed

so constant-ish time

remember that if you filter in Python

you'll need to pull every single record in the table

in general, you don't want anything you do frequently to be linear time and above

[devout coral]

Yeah, makes sense. I’ll go with that approach for now and optimize later as needed.

[lapis reef]

Even if the link is present, it does not work

[west cove]

hi,i need help in html actually i linked a webpage to submit button but when i try it it says HTML1423: Malformed start tag. Attributes should be separated by whitespace.

[meager anchor]

@west cove show your tag

[dusty moon]

anyone knows how do i get gradient text using CSS?

[novel grove]

is it possible for 2 seperate sessions to interact with each other?

my only thought to make this possible is for every session to have a interaction endpoint so like '/user/interact/username' or something like that

am i wishfully thinking? or is something like that actually possible

and or is there any other way to have this work

[storm laurel]

programming is only words

And rap or eletrical machines

And words

[storm laurel]

Just trainning for my interview

[outer apex]

Can you expand on what you mean by sessions, and what you're trying to achieve?

[novel grove]

by session im refering to the user by browser. Like if im on my pc at www.google.com thats a 'session'

i have 1 session running at google.com

[vestal hound]

"session" has a specific technical meaning

do you mean that?

or do you want, in general, two users online at the same time to have the ability to interact

[novel grove]

ye

exactly

[vestal hound]

then you should not say "session"

anyways

it depends on your needs

if realtime, like chat or a game

I would suggest websockets

but even vanilla HTTP requests will work

[novel grove]

so would something like this not work?

[vestal hound]

it would

[novel grove]

so via that could i establish a 'websocket' or is a websocket a whole diffrent thing

[vestal hound]

you could

websockets basically let you maintain a connection to a server

and transmit data bidirectionally

on the other hand, requests open new connections each time they are made

and only allow initiation by the client

[novel grove]

could you point me to some sort of module that does sockets for flask or some tutorial?

just something to help me get started in this

[vestal hound]

don’t have one, sorry

[outer apex]

Google could be a good friend of yours here.
Here's one for example, using Flask

[tepid fern]

you sure the html and css file are in the same folder?

[fallow meteor]

does query.get and filter do the same thing in sql

[jovial cloud]

Is this one html file or two different html files?

[proud lagoon]

one

@jovial cloud

[jovial cloud]

I can see that some semicolons are missing in the JS code

[jovial cloud]

If you're extending base.html there shouldn't be any html tags before it or even anywhere at all. Extending copies the html from base.html and pastes it in your new html file with Jinja.
Also, can I see your base.html file

[opaque rivet]

@native tide the click event listener has an undefined variable, clicks

[proud lagoon]

!pastebin

[lavish prism]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[proud lagoon]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ehevuxahuv.xml

[jovial cloud]

Put your custom css in the base.html file and check it out

[proud lagoon]

sure

i hope it works

it doesnt :(

[opaque rivet]

@native tide I know, look in your "click" event listener. Where is the clicks variable?

@native tide aah I see, I didn't see it. So, what is the issue?

That's JavaScript with expressjs, not Python with Flask

And that's not all that hard to understand if you know the basics of node.js
