Do you have any recommendations for learning django as a beginner except the django project website

?

[fresh socket]

there's a few links here if you search for django

!resources

[lavish prism]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

would adding react to my python, flask, html, css, js, postgresql, docker project be an overkill?

[cunning harness]

No that would be just tons of stuff in your application

[hollow dragon]

thats fine

i wanna show-off lmao

but yeah, react would be overkill

[cunning harness]

It isn’t worth it, don’t do it

If you want to, use c and make your own prog lang

hi does anybody know how to stop flask from redirecting to my website root, e.g. i click a button and it redirects me to website.com/login instead of website.com/flaskapp/login

[native tide]

Does someone wants to team up to make api's?

[native tide]

Why would flask redirect to the root project? Does your button html contain a link? Does your views contain a redirection to your project root?

Corey Schaeffer youtube serie on django is great

Using jwt tokens. pip install jwt. Update django settings.

[hollow dragon]

yeah me

[hollow dragon]

just modify the @app.route

or maybe you have login_required in your code

or something like that

[native tide]

Maybe by linking the chat message to the previous chat?

Jwt tokens improve security

ok fixed it i had href "/" instead of href url for index

[stray warren]

there any good frameworks that can be used to make frontends based off of rest apis? or is it even possible to use something like flask admin with rest apis rather than database calls

I guess the right answer is really 'use a javascript framework/library' but I don't particularly enjoy working with it.

[native tide]

Usually people combine django with react. You could make the front-end + backend on a django server and make requests on flasks apis

[graceful sun]

I've googled myself into decision paralysis 🙂 I'm seeking some general advice on framework selection... The last project I did was a while back and I used bootstrap + backbone.js (and a few related libraries).

My initial thought was just to do the same, but there are many new options... backbone itself is still updated, but many of the extensions are not.

I'd rather not reinvent the wheel... but what I'm looking to do is to keep things simple.

[lapis spear]

this playlist is what you mean?

[static spade]

If you're looking for a backend framework, django is pretty nice.

[graceful sun]

I'm using pydantic for my models and using OpenAPI to make them readily consumable.

[static spade]

does most of the weightlifting for you so you can focus on making the app

[graceful sun]

I also want to have dynamic updates of progress bars and such, so SSE or websocket.

I'm heavily using asyncio (FastAPI on the python side) to handle concurrency

With backbone I'd have to re-create the models in JS and handle all of that myself

[static spade]

hmm, if you're relying on asyncio then django might not be for you

[graceful sun]

I'm not asking about django 🙂

[static spade]

yea i was just dismissing my earlier statement

[graceful sun]

and I'm looking towards the JS framework side... the python side I'm pretty settled on 🙂

[static spade]

ahh, then this might not be the right place for JS frameworks

[graceful sun]

Vue seems popular... but it feels like a sledgehammer

What I'm looking for is something that will play well with python

Minimize me having to reinvent the wheel and keep things DRY

I can use pydantic to spit out a JSON schema... but it's unclear which frameworks that might just be 'plug and play' with

or they could use OpenAPI to create the scaffolding

[static spade]

personally i dont have much experience with using js frontend frameworks with python backends, but i've seen people use Vue and React

[wheat verge]

a to do list to start with would be nice

[graceful sun]

I've found dozens of frameworks and the basic tutorials seem to be far from DRY

[wheat verge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llbtoQTt4qw

[graceful sun]

It's like... here you deploy your front end on node.js and create a whole set of MVC

and here you create your back end with python and it's own MVC

and... magic

This is basically a dashboard

It's not that I don't understand JS frameworks... though, some of the new 'compile' to JS models are going to take a little learning

It's that I have limited time and want to choose something that is known to 'just work' and not require a whole lot of duplication

Vue, as far as I can tell, can use build and just use a static endpoint from python

I -do not- want to deploy a nodejs front end

[static spade]

in that case your options are quite limited

[graceful sun]

How so?

[static spade]

most frameworks require you to deploy a node.js server too

[graceful sun]

I thought that might be the case, but Vue documents an 'npm run build' as a publish to static that can be served from nginx/apache (or python static)

And then there are 'JS Only' frameworks... such as backbone... but there are DOZENS now that all purport to be 'modern' and seem to each lack different features

[static spade]

you could use vue.js or any frontend framework which can be installed via a simple <script> tag import. I'm not aware of any frameworks that can do this other than vue

Is it possible to add a button to a model object detail django admin page ?

[indigo kettle]

to do what

You can add actions in the list view fairly easily but I think adding them to the detail view is a bit more involved

Is someone free to help with something that should be an easy fix in django?

I'm trying to call a dictionary from a view function in the html

But it's not finding it for some reason

really basic user index:

def index(request): user_count = User.objects.all.count() context = { 'user_count': user_count } return render(request, 'dashboard/index.html', context=context)

but when i call the user_count it doesn't display

<div class="mt-2"> <h6 class="">Total Users</h6> <h2 class="mb-0 number-font">{{ user_count }}</h2> </div>

is there something i'm missing?

i've also tried it with User.objects.all().count()

hey, hows it possible serialize a datetime object? in my consumers.py im tryna send timezone.now() however i get an error of TypeError: can not serialize 'datetime.datetime' object

await self.channel_layer.group_send(
            self.room_group_name,
            {
                'type': 'chat_message',
                'message': message,
                "username": username,
                "date": timezone.now()
            }
        )

[grizzled harness]

popular approaches are to convert it to a timestamp (number of seconds since 1980) or to a ISO string (in the format "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.mmmmm")

[dusk sonnet]

Ah ok

Ill try it when im home and see because i wanna make sure its similar to the datetime i save in my database which is timezone.now(). I will also need to do this in javascript and also make sure all the datetimes are the same

Format that is

Although iv never worked with datetime in JS, ill look into it

[wooden ruin]

Javascript is a programming language. React is a library that uses Javascript to provide a set of tools for building user interfaces. You should learn Javascript and be relatively comfortable with it before moving on to React.

My views.py is getting out of hand and it's hard to maintain. I have kept everything except requests in my models.py but still views.py looks massive. It only handles one job but it's getting huge. Do you recommend using views folder with __init__.py or seperate python files all together and just call it on views.py?

you cant really section off a style sheet to one part of a page, just utilize classes and stuff for styling

This is also valid, you don't need multiple style sheets for small app, because you can just use classes and ids for declaring styles to that specific html element.

i have a django app made locally and i plan to deploy it on heroku,
but the problem with that is that the new data i put in after deploying will be gone after a while. (deployed using sqlite), will changing the database to postgres solve this problem?

[gusty hedge]

sqlite is file based storage, if you are allowed to change the file, you shouldn't have problem. Heroku might not be the best place to use sqlite if you want permanent storage database

so either you change the way your app access to sqlite file (which might not be simple) or you use a database not dependen on your app file system access

Heroku offers a way to easily use PostgreSQL. You might want to check pricing first

I think the one without the bar looks better, but I also think that left-aligning the tabs/nav-tool will help balance the page left-to-right.

You have all this negative space on the left-hand side. It's like it doesn't even have to be there.

[hollow dragon]

Negative space?

[topaz widget]

And then, since it will be in the lighter region, I would invert the color scheme.

[hollow dragon]

Its an app, full responsive if thats what u are talking about

[topaz widget]

Yeah, I don't think it makes sense to center-align that toolbar.

[hollow dragon]

True

I will change that

Its just a placeholder

Thanks for the input tho

[stark tartan]

you can do placements.related_flied.all()

[topaz widget]

And if you left-align that toolbar, it might actually make sense to center-align the title.
That way you would have a linear diagonal going from upper-left to bottom-right.
Although that would mess up the contrast between the colors if you were to do that.
But maybe you could left-align the github thing, too.

I'd try a few different alignment schemes and see if it feels balanced.

[hollow dragon]

Yeah im going to tweak the design, just have some final steps in the flask app itself

Also have to switch from sqlite to postgresql

[topaz widget]

I think center-aligning the title and then left-aligning the navtool would probably be the best aesthetically, at least for this screen size. But I'd just play around with it and See what feels best. Right now it feels unbalanced.

[hollow dragon]

Yeah i know. Im working on this project for my upcoming internship interview / conversation

    address_in = request.POST.get('address')
    context['testvar'] = str(address_in)
    return render(request,"address_intake.html",context) ```

[merry merlin]

Is the color scheme too bad?

[next widget]

I like it, the bars in the graphs at the bottom could use more contrast imo

[gusty hedge]

no but font choice might not be the best

[next widget]

  <input type = 'text' name = 'address' placeholder = 'enter your address'/>
  <input type = 'submit' value = 'submit'/>
</form>
<h1>
  Test
{% for key, value in context.items %}

anyone have any ideas on the Django HTML issue?

[patent glade]

I've got some HTML/SVG best practice questions

But tbh, the Javascript server is useless. You guys are the only ones with real brains on your shoulders

So here goes:

Lets say I have some sort of complex vector. A pie chart for example
Building this chart in illustrator seems to be the way to go, and using either an img tag or an svg tag to display it will give you both your clearly stated semantic intent for the element, while also scaling quite nicely
What if theres text content that needs to go with it — labels for example
Do I: a) create separate elements for this content and position it (painstakingly) over the image; or b) place the text inside the image, wherein it becomes more or less invisible to e-readers and web crawlers
And on the top of svgs — what if the content of the svg needs to be dynamic? Using a singular image tag with an external SVG will hide the yucky internals of the svg, which I think is desirable. And I can probably style external SVG content with css, as well as give it functionality with javascript
But for such content, is it better to use an inline svg? The battle for semantics is quite fierce. As programmers, we want the code to be self documenting, which means putting anything that is "content" inline. For accessibility reasons though, e-readers shpouldn't have to wade through the gross internals of a complex vector (having your ereader read out all the individual paths in an SVG wouldn't be super helpful to someone who can't even see it). And web crawlers — meh, they probably don't care either way
Thoughts?

Sorry for interjecting. Looks great!

Hello

this is a votes model on django

it has a one-to-one relationship with the Post model

   2.this is the first time that i make a model that has more than 1 relationship with more than 1 models so i feel like there's something wrong idk what it is so can you look at it and any advise would be appreciated.

I have a Django project with a custom user, in that custom user I have a display_name attribute on top of the default AbstractUser's attributes, code:

class CustomUser(AbstractUser):
    profile_picture = models.CharField(default="/static/users/default.png", null=True, blank=True, max_length=1024)  # will be changed for production.
    display_name = models.CharField(default="", null=False, max_length=64)
    ... 
```I have a user registration form with this code, || I def didn't steal this from Corey Schafer blog because I'm too lazy to write it myself ||
```py
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from .models import CustomUser


class UserRegisterForm(UserCreationForm):
    email = forms.EmailField()

    class Meta:
        model = CustomUser
        fields = ['username', 'email', 'password1', 'password2']

I'm rendering this with this code:

def register(request):
    if request.user.is_authenticated:
        return redirect('home-home')
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UserRegisterForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():

            return redirect('home-home')
    else:
        form = UserRegisterForm()
    return render(request, 'users/register.html', {'form': form})

How can I make it so the display_name attribute of CustomUser will be defaulted to the same value assigned to username?

I should add, the code I provided works for everything but what I said.

Update:
I found a solution, I overrode the save function with:

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

Initially I had tried that, but it had removed my initial definition of it

    display_name = models.CharField(default="", null=False, max_length=64)```

hello python community! I have a little question.. since it is possible to setup a flask uwsgi and nginx server with certbot to geet https too on debain 10, is it also possible to do the same with windows server?

[ionic raft]

Without seeing the code for get_user_mode() I cannot comment upon that. However, the rest of the model makes sense to me.
If you're going to make the most of Django get used to working with Models. Your approach of sharing your approach is a good approach 🙂

Now for an observation. My approach to model design is about function, of what it's purpose is. Form (the model design) should follow function (what it does and it's purpose). When it comes to Votes as a concept, I am left wondering if upvoting and downvoting...belong in this model. What I mean by this is kind of tricky to put into words...because it's a subjective and abstract concept. But the words that come to mind are as follows.
If the Vote model (and I would use a singular name, and add verbose_plural_name to the class Meta) contains votes, then I could see that posts (or whatever data entity is being upvoted and downvoted) is the entity that is upvoted and downvoted.
However, it doesn't end there. Because the reality is, I can count votes, up or down, for a Post and derive the total of up and downvotes. This is made clear through the Post FK as the first attribute for the model.

If the above is confusing...I get it. Design is not a trivial matter. And there is no silver bullet. When I'm designing models I like to take a step back and think about the design within the bigger picture. And I aim for entities, where practical, to have a clear focus. A vote reflects an opinion/decision by someone about something. Looking just at the model alone does not cover enough ground.

[ionic raft]

@wind dove I can see why you might be stumbling. I stumbled across the very same issue.

I have used a post-save signal to create a custom object related to the user (let us call that a Profile). Your signal though would have to either leave display name blank or guess at it from the user name. However, programmatically such a guess is going to lead to a poor result. This is why I ditched using post-save signals to create a profile and seal the relationship.

That said your view is referencing one form (the built-in user reg form). Another approach I have used is to require the completion of more than just an username, email and password. After playing around with signals to create the object, and then being vulnerable to missing profile information, I opted to place the user and profile forms within the template. This would result in a change to the view. I'll give you a hint to get you started (but not solve this for you as you won't actually thank me in the long run):

def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        user_form = UserRegisterForm(request.POST, prefix='user')
        profile_form = ProfileUpdateForm(request.POST, prefix='profile')
        ...```
Do note that I am importing both views from `forms.py`. I am a big fan of `forms.py` to manage data input. 🙂

[ionic raft]

What is your purpose? Why would you want to bring python code into a script tag?
Can you? Yes, by passing a string variable (containing a python snippet) into a script tag within the template (and dink around with py-script, etc.).
Should you? Well, how would a browser know what to do with said code? That is, unless you're doing something altogether more exotic...

[onyx lava]

How can I not have this? I have a button which displays a joke on click, then I want to reload the page

I use POST

possibly without having to redirect or refresh something

[frank shoal]

Instead of returning the html, use a 307 redirect

[onyx lava]

a 307 redirect, thanks ill check it out

[frank shoal]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/307

Actually, use a 303. It changes post to get.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/303

[onyx lava]

Wait, could you explain me the difference between post and get?

Nvm, post is for changing stuff and get is for viewing something

thanks!

[ionic raft]

A paraphrase...A user GETS a page, and then, assuming it's been programmed for, POSTs something to it.

[onyx lava]

yep

[ionic raft]

You can also use the messages library from django.contrib import messages in Django to post flash messages to the page in response to user activity. I prefer messages over pop ups personally. But it's a matter of taste.

[onyx lava]

I use Flask

what I was thinking of is just passing the list of jokes as a array in javascript and then just take a random one out, not sure if that would work tho

[ionic raft]

I had fun with Flask. Great for simpler pages/sites. no doubt.

[onyx lava]

Yeah I wanted to start off with that before actually starting with django

[ionic raft]

Flask gave me a great foundation. Then I moved to Django. I've never looked back and have a couple of meaty projects deployed. Working on my third 😄

Hmmm...Personally, using JS is something I am very judicious about. JS has a place, but where possible I prefer to process logic on the server, and save JS for behavioural responses. That said, even then there are frameworks such as htmx that can support partial page refreshes with only minimal JS. JS is a bit of a pig to code with (IMHO it's messy), adds a lot of client side weight, and comes with risks.

[onyx lava]

i see i see

[ionic raft]

That said, if I want to hide fields on a form based on a condition (and user behaviour) then JS all the way for that 😄

[onyx lava]

thanks for the opinion, gonna think about the code 302 then, because I am not quite happy with the "Confirm Form Resubmission" error when reloading

[ionic raft]

I never did get into Forms with Flask. Once I realized I needed meaty authentication, and what DJango Admin does, I knew I had to step up. A great learning experience may be to nail this project in Flask and then replicate in Django. That's what I did with the start of my first project.

But yes, any error when submitting a form is a definite no-no 🙂 (unless of course there is cause for the error).

[onyx lava]

Yep, thats my plan 🙂

[ionic raft]

same as my plan was The moment I got to the third app, and navigating the logic in a flat file...done-ski 😄

[onyx lava]

😂

well thanks for the clarification

[ionic raft]

Enjoy Flask...and...when you switch to Django it may well blow your mind for potential. Django is an outstanding framework.

[onyx lava]

👍

[ionic raft]

The authentication and admin feature in Django...worth the price of admission.

Was because I am trying to get data into the script tag of an html document. (Through Flask)
But I don't know.

[serene matrix]

How do I make nonetype values not break my whole code?

I have a WHOLE bunch of them and there are get queries linking to them. And I can't start writing multiple try-except blocks. This is ALOT of code

Eg x = Friend.objects.get(friend=user )

When friend is empty it causes problems

i m getting this error

[dreamy shadow]

yes

[calm forum]

This error comes when something wrong happens.

[agile pier]

i have the video file on my aws server, how do I open that video from the url with python?

[dreamy shadow]

you are not useful

errors always do that

[serene matrix]

It's scary just thinking about it.

[dreamy shadow]

very

it's a common stack

[calm forum]

@dreamy shadow can we not use js backend?

And what is angular react

How does this work

[dreamy shadow]

we can using Node.js

[dreamy shadow]

Frontend framework

Provides components etc

[calm forum]

Oh like package?

[dreamy shadow]

yeah

npm i react

[calm forum]

ok

[dreamy shadow]

but you should bootstrap using npx create-react-app

[calm forum]

thx

[dreamy shadow]

np

[nimble wraith]

So there is a way to create a flask application connected with a domain with debain / ubuntu using uwsgi and nginx.
Are there any ways to do the same with for example vscode or pycharm?

[serene prawn]

In most cases you use frontend frameworks with some kind of REST API on backend
Django could be used to build REST APIs, but i personally would prefer something like FastAPI

[delicate ore]

how do i fix this it looks so annoying

using bootstrap btw

[scarlet hull]

Is blink and gecko based on webkit?

[delicate ore]

i tried changing the height attribute didn't work

[umbral rock]

Just wondering why do people serve their web static files from cloud storage? I have an AKS cluster that hosts my Django website and the containers have a copy of the static files. What's the use-case or the benefit of hosting directly from Azure Blob or Amazon S3?

[copper void]

one reason being you don't need to send the request to the app server for static files because they're... static i.e. no logic needed before serving them

and a distributed CDN is good for that if your users are also distributed geographically

[ionic raft]

@native tide The cause for the above is css not working as expected. You would need to share styles.css for others to suggest fixes.

A few thoughts:

• I learned to use a css framework (I got started with Bootstrap and I hear good things about Tailwinds). A good css framework will simplify executing what you're trying to do.
• I use a css framework because as a full stack developer I want to focus on function. I find css to be a very messy language to work with. Bootstrap can also be messy, but it's mostly much more coherent than vanilla css (which at times breaks my brain)
• I recommend commenting your code, particularly the header. Not commenting code makes it much harder to read. For example, I am not sure what animate.min.css is intended to be doing, and more importantly what you are trying to accomplish with it.
• I can see that you are calling a static file styles.css. One possible cause is that when you run the web server the static file is not being served, and thus none of your css is being applied.
• I recommend reading up on how to ask a good question when getting help from other devs. State your objective - How the objective is not being met - What you have tried. You have stated your objective, but not explained what you have already tried. This will slow things down. Vague questions tend to not get answered or get vague answers.

[umbral rock]

presumebly there's no real downside apart from a tiny fee for hosting?

[ionic raft]

For further clarity. I do not know if the first image is your dev server (which would have no problems serving styles.css) and the third image is production (where the css static file is not getting served).

In summary, asking a good question can really save everyone time. When explaining the problem provide all relevant files (styles.css is most definitely relevant) and explain the context. Is this a dev environment? Is it both dev and prod? Is there a difference?

[copper void]

well, I mean there would be unnecessary calls to the app server for static files (unless you have configured a good caching policy)

[ionic raft]

Hosting static files is an interesting situation. I've come to conclude that for the pros and cons of static file hosting, when deploying to production, I can simplify things by storing static files in an aws S3 bucket. I am currently not charged any fee for hosting these files. If that changes it will be because the web site is much busier #FirstWorldProblem

If you host your own static files in your app server (running collectstatic for example with Django) then you also need a web server to serve them (nginx is a common approach). In a deployment environment this will require another container at a minimum, as well as additional complication in deployment. If you host your static files with a provider designed for it then you are in solid shape. The good news is that since static files don't generally change they can (such as css and image files) be cached by the client browser on the first visit.

In short, until I am shown a better approach I am leaning into hosting static files with a dedicated provider. The time saved with this approach is incalculable. Yes, I should still run collectstatic. However, once I have done that the first time (this applies to Django admin static files in particular) then I can actually share a static server across sites if need be (particularly if it's a stable and redundant service such as AWS S3).

I advise reading up on the art of asking a good question. The way you are asking questions is unclear.

Trust me...a great question will get better answers. Search "Stack Overflow asking a good question" and read up.

If anyone has aspirations to be a professional developer...the art of asking great questions will pay off. A vague, poorly constructed question is less likely to be answered because you're forcing others to ask you questions to understand your problem. That slows things down and shows you've not invested the time to really be clear. If you're not willing to invest the time why would others?

using fontawesome?

You can use display: flex; justify-items: space-between; on the container div

[calm sable]

Hey guys, I've made a small Django app with a view that gets some data from an API and displays it in a table. I was wondering if and how it's possible to have the client have the new data displayed when its available in one of the django db tables? I've read in some places that AJAX is used, can somebody perhaps point me in the right direction? I've seen a lot of websites that have dynamic content, such as like the dollar to eur ratio, live displayed, without reloading the entire webpage every x seconds. How is this done exactly when using django?

Feel free to @ tag me if you can help me out, thanks! 😄

[frank shoal]

js has a function setInterval that runs a callback every x ms

You can use that with the fetch function to make a request to a webserver and modify the DOM using data from the result.

@calm sable

ex: ```js
setInterval(async () => {
const resp = await fetch("/data");
const data = await resp.json();
document.getElementById("something").textContent = data.something;
}, 10000); // every 10s

[calm sable]

@frank shoal I've been using this;

However, it reloads entire page, rather than just data

[frank shoal]

because you call location.reload()

Use the DOM to change the page instead.

[calm sable]

I might be a noob, but idk what DOM is

[frank shoal]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document_Object_Model

basically the document object

[calm sable]

So basically

By calling:

document.getElementById("something").textContent = data.something;
}, 10000);

you get the "something" element, which can also be a table, then replace the data

[frank shoal]

If it's a table, you would have to traverse further into the table to replace the precise text

[calm sable]

and you continuously update the data?

[frank shoal]

and since it's a table, you could use the datatables library.

[calm sable]

from your code above:
const resp = await fetch("/data");
const data = await resp.json();

how does ajax know what /data is?

is that a context variable?

[frank shoal]

it sends a get request to the /data endpoint defined in django

[calm sable]

ah I see

So then in the /data view you can implement logic to return the updated data

[frank shoal]

Yes.

[calm sable]

Is there a good way to periodically run some API requests in django to then save in a database?

So that when I fetch /data I can just take the latest database state

[frank shoal]

Sure.

[calm sable]

instead of making the API calls in the view

Since the API calls take quite some time, like 5s, and I think if I'd fetch from database, it'd be much much quicker, like instantly

[frank shoal]

maybe do some filters to process less data.

[calm sable]

it looks at quite a bit of data and then compiled it into sort of a "report"

I was thinking if I just save the latest report in database, and just serve the latest report to the user

then every x time, generate a new report and save to db

but idk if this is a stupid idea, not much experience with django yet

idk if I can filter much, maybe I can profile my code as well and see if some parts take too long and perhaps they can be optimized

Sounds like I need to get more familiar with Ajax either way, thanks for pointing in the right direction @frank shoal 😄

[prime marsh]

Hi Guys 😃, What could be the best courses to learn Django? 🤔

[hoary brook]

@calm sable I'm not working with Django, but for my last Flask project I combined it with HTMX. It's like AJAX integrated directly into your HTML and allows you to swap in snippets of HTML that are returned by your backend.
https://htmx.org/docs/
I used it to update table data and add search functionality, maybe it's what you need.

[onyx lava]

So, I wanted to not have "Confirm Form Resubmission" when someone reloads the page, on a form, and I was told yesterday that I should a redirect with code 302, I tried that, but it didn't work:

def joke():
   message = ''
   if flask.request.method == 'POST':
      message = 'Hello ' + flask.request.form['name-input'] + '!'
      flask.redirect("joke.html", code=302)
   return flask.render_template('joke.html', joke=message)

Can anyone help?

[serene prawn]

return flask.redirect(...)

How can I get a JSON object from Python through to HTML script tag with Flask?

[gloomy haven]

hiii, need some help real quick:
so I have an application i'm hosting over at heroku
this app has been running for a while and everything worked fine until recent, now, even though my forms have defined a post request, it's only doing get requests.
tried reloading my app, not working, created new app and moved the code over, not working. Checked my code and there is nothing that points my form to send a get request. Nothing off on the server side either.
Anyone know how to fix this issue?

it says GET even though I defined a post request...

[gloomy haven]

nevermind... this is a heroku issue

[obtuse robin]

yep

you’d have to request from javascript to a python function

and return info back

[lyric lantern]

Hey, I'm looking for the best and cheapest way to run a Python script 24/7 that will feed data to a Siteground SQL database. Does anyone know the best way to archive this? Is there some way could run the script on the Siteground server itself?

[rigid mist]

But how do I do that? (I've tried using Jinja, but that does not work inside of script tags)

[obtuse robin]

noo youd have to use javascript

maybe seartch up a video on javascript fetching to a flask api

[rigid mist]

Oh, ok. So when I try to fetch a JSON-file, it just tells me that it can't find it. GET http://ip:port/jaso.json 404 (NOT FOUND)

[obtuse robin]

the url you’re requesting isn’t found then, maybe you put it in wrong

[obtuse robin]

oh wait you mean a literal external json file???

or a call to a flask function that returns in json

[rigid mist]

Yes, a literal file.

[obtuse robin]

oh okay my bad

what was the path you were fetching?

[rigid mist]

jaso.json which is in the same folder as the html-file.

[versed lotus]

with flask, you would usually put static files, like images and so on, but also your static json file, into the "static" folder. and request it using the /static/... path in the url

[rigid mist]

Oh, it worked. Thank you. Both you Sani and @obtuse robin.

[obtuse robin]

my app keeps getting a overflow error with sqlalchemy,

"TimeoutError: QueuePool limit of size 5 overflow 10 reached, connection timed out, timeout 30"

and i have been told to change the sqlalchemy engine options

it doesnt stop the overflow

and my site ends up running very poorly after a certain amount of requests

which makes me need to close the tab and open it again which obviously would be a nuisance for anyone using it

[calm forum]

Hi

[rigid laurel]

Try to check if your frontend applications is ever receiving the original OPTIONS request from the cors policy. If you're using a reverse proxy, you can probably just handle CORS at that level

[fickle basin]

I'll check that and be back and let you know thx

[dreamy shadow]

is it okay to write CSS without any frameworks these days?

[past dove]

hi guys, i can i add screen reader feature to my html ?

[native tide]

how would i modify the same origin policy using js or something so i can download stuff from other pages

[rigid laurel]

If you want to e.g download something from wikipedia within your page, then CORS is sorta designed to stop that. The only way that might work is if you try to disable CORS for the specific request

but you probably can't make that request from your frontend

[native tide]

thats what the browser does right

[rigid laurel]

the browser enforces the CORS allowed-origins that is specified by the server

[calm forum]

Imagine a bot is a picture?

[native tide]

so i have to make the server tell the browser cors shouldnt be enforced for a certain domain?

[rigid laurel]

yes

[past dove]

..

[native tide]

adding Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * in my nginx config doesnt work though

im seeing it in the response headers

[rigid laurel]

check: does your browser send the options request, what does it receive back?

that is assuming that it's not a simple cors request

are you setting the mode to cors in your fetch request?

[native tide]

i have a link to a page hosting a plain video that can be downloaded if i manually opened the context menu and clicked "save as" or by using the python requests library by just "get"ing that url. I want to link the video on my page and be able to download it by clicking an element (i want the browser to download it immediately after clicking). If i put it in an anchor tag it just opens the page with the video player, so how would i do it?

basically im trying to do this

im doing it with this

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a#attr-download

<a download href="vidlink">
download
</a>

but the spec says it only works with same origin

[native tide]

the request doesnt say anything about cors / access control

someone said it'd be the other page that would be in charge of the cors policy.

[rigid laurel]

add download="filename.mp4" to your anchor tag

oh

no no

yeah, you can't do that simply

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49474775/chrome-65-blocks-cross-origin-a-download-client-side-workaround-to-force-down

Hi everyone, I have a problem about relational table in django. This is my models. I want to add a new data to Module model, but I get an error. How to solve it?

This is my error

This is my function to add a new module

This my input form

[hollow dragon]

just solved my sqlite problem with flask, so it works perfectly fine now on heroku with postgresql

damn

thats why i love programming

the feeling when u solve problems

[brittle trail]

I use MySQL for my database

[hollow dragon]

i was using sqlite for my app to test it on localhost

but now it works with postgre on heroku

[gilded moss]

@brittle trail you assign the program.id (an integer) to the Module program field. It expects instead a Program instance. So you should probably query the Program with the given id and use that object as the program.

[full crystal]

can any one please help me in django

[gilded moss]

Alternatively you could also create your Module like this:

Module.objects.create(
    program_id=request.POST[“program”],
    # all other fields here
)

[fathom vector]

I meant like what can the owner of the wifi/router see about the device where its hosted. If that makes sense.

[brittle trail]

So, I need to change my code from line 6 with your instruction? @gilded moss

[gilded moss]

Yes. And no need to call save if you use create.

[frosty creek]

I dont really understand, sorry

[brittle trail]

Nice, it's work. Thank you guys

Ohh I still have 1 problem again. This is about ternary operator in django templates

I want to choose the select option otomatic if the data has the same value with the option

In php look like this

And I want to implement in django template at the same case

This my code, but it still wrong

<option value="{{ p.id }}" {% if p.id == m.program %}selected{% endif %}>{{ p.name }}</option>

[fathom vector]

What information does the router get, when someone is hosting a web there?

[gilded moss]

You compare again an id with a program instance.
if p == m.program or if p.id == m.program.id

[full crystal]

how is this code validating form that i have created using HTML and CSS

[brittle trail]

Ohh okay, it's work. Thank you

The problem because I haven't write space ( ) between the condition

[nimble berry]

i would recommend asking about the specific problem instead, then you might have more luck with getting a reply

[flint harbor]

So I have a django model or a table, and I added 5 items into that table and deleted them all, then I added another one and I expected the id of the item to be 1, since it's the only item in the table but it's actually 6. I think it's something related to saveing the table, not quite sure, can someone help?

[gilded moss]

That’s how DB tables work.

The id keeps incrementing, irrespective of items being deleted.

hello all i want to ask about JSON POST from javascript to Flask. Is anyone had experienced Bad Request Error while triggering the ajax and it send a form instead a json file?

this is the script that triggered by clicking a submit button

<script>
$('form').on('submit', function(event) {
    if ($("#class_room option:selected").val()=="none"){<<-there is actually a none option in the selection
        alert("PLEASE FILL CLASS");
        event.preventDefault();
    } else if ($("#hours option:selected").val()=="none"){
        alert("PLEASE FILL HOURS");
        event.preventDefault();
    } else {
    $.ajax({
    data: JSON.stringify(
        {
                "class_id": JSON.stringify({{ class_id }}),
                "homeroom": JSON.stringify({{ homeroom_id }}),
                "class_room": JSON.stringify($("#class_room option:selected").val()),
                "hours": JSON.stringify($("#hours:selected").val()),
                }
    ),
    type: 'POST',
    url: "{{ url_for('send') }}",
    dataType: "json",
    contentType: "application/json"
})
.done(function (data) {
    alert({ response })
    $('form').trigger("reset");
})
    }


});

</script>

and i declare the send function like this:

@app.route("/update_class/send/",methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def send():
    if request.method=="POST":
        json_data = request.get_json()
        return None

whenever i trigger the ajax it always said 400 Bad Request, even the if- function for prevent the form is work as expected

[white owl]

i found the data sent to function are not a stringify json but a form (class id and homeroom are not included). i have set the url as same as in the route and so in the html form

Can anybody help me with a silly error ? i am very new to python

[hollow dragon]

What do u need

[unique hemlock]

i am getting this error when i am trying to use a proxy, but when im not, no error is there

[merry lake]

@unique hemlockif you look closely at the error message, you will see that it has a suggestion

[hollow dragon]

Yeah

You can pretty much solve every error just by the messages

Simply Google it

[unique hemlock]

as i said, i have no prior experience with python, i barely started

i tried to follow the link explanation, but with no luck

i have been trying for the last 48 hours

[merry lake]

or, just read the message 🙂 the suggestion is fairly plain 🙂

[unique hemlock]

if you can help me, that would be very much appreciated

[hollow dragon]

I use flask and web development so I cant help u with this but good luck mate

👍

[merry lake]

@unique hemlocktrying to help...

[unique hemlock]

thank you very much my friend, i will dm you the code, maybe you can fix it

[merry lake]

I have a better idea, maybe YOU can fix it 🙂

[hollow dragon]

Btw the issue is with your proxy, its not HTTPS supported I assume

[merry lake]

I heard you when you said you have little experience... this is a good learning experience

[hollow dragon]

Which is related to SSL

[merry lake]

that part, I'm not that experienced with personally; I wouldn't know what to do (but I'd try to research it)

so give it a shot... read the message... for now, you can gloss over the parts that may be technical, preferring to see what the suggestion is

[unique hemlock]

it is https supported, when i use firefox and add the proxy there it works fine

Guys I was wondering here if some of you know any dashboard or cms template free or open sourcing what would be valid I’m creating a backend CMS with Django and I’m willing since I’m new with the atmosphere of web development perhaps someone may know any of those ? Appreciate such help thanks or link provided

What is the best way to create a url?
http://127.0.0.1:8000/something/ or
http://127.0.0.1:8000/something without the slash?

django is weird

and what do we use to, let's say going into a post in the index page. There should be id in the query string right? Or is it different in django?

[lime jolt]

I found a good video explaining it. It's a bit different but hella cool.

does creating a Friend Request feature whereby users can send and accept friend requests in Django require Django Channels or some other module? or can is possible to do with just normal Django?

[hard whale]

Hi! I would like to add dynamic charts to my web page that will display several variables changing in realtime. Which microframework would you recommend for that? I don't want to mess witch css ans js, something fast and ez to implement like semantic ui suff would be great

[golden bone]

I don't know what Django Channels is but I don't see why you would need it. I would just use a DB table to track which user ID is friends with which

[golden bone]

HTMX might be sufficient. Otherwise you probably will need JS of some kind

[hard whale]

Thanks for heads up mate, I'll google it

[dusk sonnet]

Hey, ye i already done it. Had to rethink the logic because i was thinking of a more complex approach but after some thinking etc i managed to do it. Just got few more things to implement tomorrow like cancel and decline.

[proud vortex]

is exposing a simple flask api to the internet generally safe or do I need to take extra precautions to make sure it isn't abused?

I want to just set up a small service that ingests webhooks from clickup and does some actions based on the endpoint

[eternal kestrel]

considerer using a production WSGI server instead of flask run. you can import your flask app as a WSGI module in for example apache, with mod_wsgi

then take appropriate steps to harden your WSGI server

hey guys do you think you can completely replace js with py-script and if it would be a good idea? (for developing web pages)

[native tide]

[bright spindle]

using drf-spectacular to generate swagger documentation is going towards hell, is there alternative solutions to this?

[ionic raft]

@unique hemlock Software development is hard. The simplest description I can think of is that it is about taking a big problem you are trying to solve and breaking it down into lots of different problems that can be solved more easily. To be a successful software developer requires that you know how to research solutions to problems. Sending your code to others and asking them to fix it will not help you. If anything, such support will slow your learning down. I appreciate that while you may feel stuck and unable to proceed, the responses inviting you to research the error message is actually the best support we could give you. Assuming you continue on your journey of learning how to engineer software, you will encounter problem after problem.

That said, I want to offer you one more piece of advice. I recommend this article. Asking a good question not only enforces this suggestion to research, but it also sets you up for getting support when you really are stuck. https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask

[civic thicket]

Hey, community! Is there anyone who uses or is planning to use AWS Aurora or other Postgres in the cloud? Would you be willing to tell me about your experience? I'm working on an open-source serverless Postgress project and trying to understand what's the most useful thing to build at the moment 🤔

[dense slate]

Open question: If you were running websockets on a React/Next frontend and needed to save the chat to the database (will be using django), would you save every X minutes, or save on each message submission?

or neither...

This is going to be for a shared-storytelling site for long-term written games, but it would need to be able to handle real-time chat if people are playing concurrently.

[frank shoal]

For chat, a database might not be the best option.

You'll end up getting very large numbers of rows

Try an event log service like graylog or similar.

AWS has cloudwatch, google has operations. Azure has some too.

[tawdry coral]

How do I put it so that instead of

Green
Education, it’s say
Green Education on one line

[merry lake]

@civic thicketI've had some experience with postgres, but not putting it in a cloud... I've built postgres many times, but lately, I've just installed it from packages (I run latest stable debian)

[slate hare]

How can i fix this error

[lime jolt]

Hi, I have a code like this:
surveyposts = Survey.objects.annotate(votecount=Count('question__answer__vote')).order_by('-id')
But I need GROUP BY on user_FK_id in Vote table. So it won't give me the count of votes. I want the count of people who participated in the survey. What should I do to achive that GROUP BY?
(votecount variable name in annotate will be changed)

[lime jolt]

I am moving to a help channel

[lime jolt]

Found it. After 3 hours, FOUND IT!!!

annotate(participations=Count('question__answer__vote__user_FK_id', distinct=True))
If you are wondering.

[visual harness]

why doesn't this work? i'm trying to make a rectangle move across the screen

function move() {
    const rect = document.getElementById("rect")
    const move = window.screen.width - rect.clientWidth
    rect.animate({marginLeft: "+=" + move + "px"}, 10000)
}
move()```

[obtuse robin]

why do you have '+='

i dont think that can work with that

because its like css but inside javascript

so you have to follow css rules

if you want to make the rect element move more left by those pixels then you should find how many pixels the marginleft of rect is then add that to move

instead of trying to do '+='

[slate narwhal]

Anyone here use Postgresql as an SQL database?
How can I find my databases username
I'm trying to connect to it

[obtuse robin]

yes, do you use pgadmin4?

[slate narwhal]

Yes I do

[obtuse robin]

well when you make a database in it, you have to choose its name?

where did you make the db

from pgadmin4 right

[slate narwhal]

Correct

[obtuse robin]

well, theres your answer

[slate narwhal]

Could the username be postgres?

[obtuse robin]

oh

so when you try to put in your database uri youd want to do something like 'postgresql://postgres:{your account password}@local host/{name of database}'

oh oops

[slate narwhal]

I should put that in my VS Code HTML?

[obtuse robin]

no your python

[slate narwhal]

I don't have python written out though

[obtuse robin]

oh are you not using python

[slate narwhal]

I'm writing in HTML/CSS

[obtuse robin]

i assumed since this is a python server lol

you cannot connect a database to just html css

you need a backend

[slate narwhal]

I want a button to pull items from a database when it's clicked

[obtuse robin]

yes

youd need a backend for that

[slate narwhal]

I was going to use PHP to do that

[obtuse robin]

oh alri

[slate narwhal]

<?php
$db_connection = pg_connect("host=localhost dbname=dbname user=username password=password");
?>

This is what I was going to use for it

[obtuse robin]

oh are you confused on the username?

[slate narwhal]

But I was going to plug in my individual credentials

yes

[obtuse robin]

it would just be your account username

the one you log into pgadmin4 with

[slate narwhal]

When I open PGAdmin though it only asks me for my password

[obtuse robin]

initially when you first use pgadmin, did you not have to initialize an account?

[slate narwhal]

I installed it some months ago so I'm not entirely sure

[obtuse robin]

hm

[slate narwhal]

I'd assume so but I dont remember to be honest

[obtuse robin]

you can probably find your acc username somewhere when youre logged in though

[obtuse robin]

ah i see, unfortunate

[slate narwhal]

That's what I thought too, but I looked around in PGAdmin and I wasn't able to find anything in particular that said "username"

[obtuse robin]

this isnt the first thing that pops up?

oh

click the little menu icon the top right

and then click the last item in it, then click 'users' and it should show what you need

[slate narwhal]

This is what pops up first

[obtuse robin]

oh

hm

[slate narwhal]

I know my password though so that's not an issue

[obtuse robin]

i see

[slate narwhal]

Do you mind if I message you real quick? I'm not going to keep bugging you about this username thing lol but I had a different question about SQL

[obtuse robin]

if you mean to ask me about how to use sql specifically, i wouldnt know how, i just use sqlalchemy to interact with it, but if its another question then sure

[slate narwhal]

It's just regarding some web development stuff if you know anything about that

[obtuse robin]

oh yea sure

[white owl]

Does anyone know is it able to render a template while do something on background in Flask? i try to render my template first while in the same time

[obtuse robin]

as in perform a flask function after rendering a template?

[white owl]

yep similarly like that

[white owl]

so what i want to do is like this:

@app.route(/my_url/):
def something():
    task a << while doing this, return render template
    return render_template('page.html')

I using waitress for my apps, when i declare def something() as async function, and await at task a, it brings error that my python and greenlet unable to do async process

[void wigeon]

Hi, anyone is both expeirenced with Flask, and Django ? I have Flask service that want to change to Django.

paid , of course. 🙂

[merry lake]

to make a page and a url to get there in django... you would edit either the global urls.py or the urls.py for an app you started, and add a path() invocation in the list of paths there, with the url pattern, the view function and the name to refer to that url as...

then you could edit views.py to make the function that returns the page...

then you can make the template file (whatever.html) and go back to the view, and make sure you return the output of render(), that refers to the template file

kinda vague, and you probably need to do more than that to get the flask app ported to django

you probably need to learn about some of the django classes and objects in order to make that happen

you might do the 7 step tutorial and a few others to find out how to do the django thing, it shows you how to make a page and url

have fun with it

[dusk portal]

I can
Btw don't post paid gigs here it's not allowed

[hollow dragon]

just added an animated background, what do you guys think?

[hollow dragon]

opinions?

[inland oak]

disproportioned UI

[hollow dragon]

how?

[lofty sentinel]

hey people. I want something up pretty fast. Can anybody suggest something? There should be a left pane. Easy to add items there. Classic About Us, Quickstart right-top side options etc.. Also customizable. Don't really care about the color palette. Easy to integrate social logins. I would really like it to be django.

[hollow dragon]

Flask

[lofty sentinel]

I was asking for something specific with some frameworks / themes in it

[hollow dragon]

What do you mean mate?

[mystic wyvern]

who is better django-allauth or django-oauth-toolkit?

[digital hinge]

Looks great but you should colour code the tasks as a whole

[hollow dragon]

Oh, thats actually a very good idea. Thank you.

[digital hinge]

You need to add the proxy to your environmental varibles for python.

Installing packages behind a proxy:

pip install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org <<module-name>>

To install a certificate for your proxy:

pip install --cert C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\cacert.cer virtualenv

Other:

Using a certificate in a pip.conf

Create this file:

$HOME/.pip/pip.conf (Linux)

%HOME%\pip\pip.ini (Windows)
and add these lines:

[global]
cert = /path/to/mycertificate.crt
Ignoring certificate and using HTTP

$ pip install --trusted-host pypi.pyt

[unique hemlock]

i sent you a dm

[digital hinge]

Ahh you’re using urllib

Okay I’ll message you there

[unique hemlock]

I think so, im not sure

[proud reef]

Is it HTML?

Do you have .css file?

Not bootstrap

Or you can move it by style tag

[ionic raft]

My opinion (and this is but one opinion) about the idea of implementing an animated background is...*why? *

By animating a background you are creating a visual competitor with your foreground content and focus. While an animated background may look interesting, and could make sense in some contexts (such as a page highlighting a single concept, such as a product release for example), having an animated background behind what appears to be a task list would feel...distracting for me. In short, any animating will call for attention. This could end up being a distraction from the app's purpose. The more functional and interactive the page's purpose the more distracting an animated background is.

[hollow dragon]

Yeah, it wasn't animated before. I was wondering about what to do with the background and came up with this idea.

Maybe I should set it to really slow?

Or just off the animation?

[ionic raft]

I would ask why animate the background? How does animation improve the user's experience?

[hollow dragon]

It doesn't but it looks cool imo

[ionic raft]

Ah...the user experience was buried in the grave of "it looks cool" once more ;D

[hollow dragon]

No one will use this because it is just for my internship interview, but I understand your point.

[ionic raft]

Don't get me wrong. As an experiment to learn, I commend it. 🙂

[hollow dragon]

What do you recommend?

By the way, do you have anything else to add? I'm curious mate👍

[ionic raft]

Well, as I mentioned previously, I could see potential use cases. I recommend considering the purpose and function of a page to help make decisions on form (such as animated background).

Form should follow function. 🙂

Or function should drive form. 😄

[hollow dragon]

Yeah I get ir

It

Its just my first web app and I'm not really expert at this. Thanks for the input, really appreciate it!

[ionic raft]

It's a solid start. 🙂 If you can nail full-stack development your value as a developer grows exponentially. Practice in aligning back-end with front-end is a useful foundation. It's something I've made a great effort with for my web projects.

Learning how to juggle css is a science and an art. css can be very finicky. Learning how to manage web page style effectively to improve the user experience is always going to be valuable. And in my opinion, this is not something that can be completely taught. It's something you evolve into.

[hollow dragon]

Thank you dude. I used python, flask, html, css, bootstrap, PostgreSQL, JavaScript for this. Thinking about dockerizing it and deploy it with docker-compose to heroku. I want to overkill this project for the internship. 😄

[ionic raft]

Excellent first project mate 🙂 The practice of using Docker will be invaluable. I wouldn't deploy a Django app without Docker now that I use it. There is no overkill in expanding your toolkit.

I spent about 1.5 months with Flask before I moved to Django. But then, my first project had 9 apps. When I saw how brutal the application file was becoming I realized Django was the way. However, when you unpack Django you'll realize why it's so well regarded as a framework.

[uncut trellis]

Django is truly amazing.

Built a few e commerce platforms with Django. Really scalable and reliable

[ionic raft]

The more I use Django the more amazed I become. I'm shifting to build full-on automation web applications with Django. When they bring async into Django that will seal it IMO.

[uncut trellis]

Interesting, what would be the benefits of using async views?

[ionic raft]

Oh my goodness...the potential of async processing is astonishing for me. Now, I can't speak to how async will ultimately look (as I'm not on the Django core dev team) BUT, if they even begin to offer asynchronous processing of tasks I'll be blown away. In other words, currently, Django is driven by requests from the user. I find Celery and integrating async functionality to be onerous. Having that built in... chef's kiss

[buoyant smelt]

If you use django is it just python?

i don’t get how it works

[uncut trellis]

Django is a framework, python is the main language used in Django for the backend

[ionic raft]

Django is a framework that uses Python to get things done. If you want to code logic for something to be done, it'll be in Python.

[uncut trellis]

You use a stack of html/css/js and even can inject python code into the front end. An easy way to link the backend with the frontend

[buoyant smelt]

ohh interesting

[uncut trellis]

Pretty cool actually

So it is a way to run cronjobs essentially without the use of celery?

[buoyant smelt]

i’m learning Wails right now (binding for Go and web app frameworks) kinda wanna learn django though too

[uncut trellis]

Like scheduled scripts to run in the django app

[ionic raft]

I can't answer that for sure. BUT, if they add cronjobs into Django...dang....

[uncut trellis]

That would be amazing. I have to resort to running scripts on a separate EC2 with scheduled tasks at the moment so that I don't overload my main server

Especially for tasks revolving crawling of data and updating data on the database.

I have my database on a separate RDS server in a private network only accessible through an EC2 with the same security group. With this stack you can launch other EC2 to run scripts

[ionic raft]

Sounds nifty. AND I would love that type of functionality included into Django. If they do that it'll catapault Django into a true web application territory.

[uncut trellis]

Yeah man. Cool thing about django is that if you think of it, you can break down a django app into micro services with a central database

Technically each app can be a microservice, hosted on a separate server.

[ionic raft]

That's my jam right there. I'm literally in the process of architecting this approach into a series of web sites for an organization. There will be 4 different front ends all sharing the same DB.

[uncut trellis]

That's awesome!

[ionic raft]

Of course, it's a bit intense getting my head around it at times 😄

[uncut trellis]

RDS is a life saver lol. I remember the good old days of hosting my db on the same server hosting the django site. If that server was hacked or taken down, gg data

[uncut trellis]

I assume with this approach your django app is completely cloud, no writing of media related data to the hard disk of the server

A nice S3 to host all media/static files

[ionic raft]

Nah. Static files on an S3 entity all the way.

[uncut trellis]

Nice, I can already tell you're a good django dev

[ionic raft]

Learned the hard way, bruh. A practice project was Corey Schafer's blog app. Profile pics in a media DIR broke my brain 😄

[uncut trellis]

Curious to know, are you using react for the front-end or html/js/css with python code injected?

[ionic raft]

html/css with minimal JS. I use JS VERY sparingly. Where possible, I process server side and push to the client. I've got a couple of my projects listed in my profile. They're FAST...and JS is VERY sparingly used.

[uncut trellis]

Fair. Recently I started using function-based end points ALOT for optimal user experience. (Ajax to make the call to the endpoint to execute certain code and return the response and the required data)

[ionic raft]

I do have an application I will need to use React for, but that may have to wait until we expand and I can hire a React expert.

[ionic raft]

I've managed to dodge using Ajax. HTMX has been a life-saver to replace Django's inline forms (which, let's face it, are brutal UX).

[uncut trellis]

Hmm interesting, will definitely look into HTMX

Yeah exactly, no one wants the page to be refreshed each time you are performing a CRUD function

terrible UX

[ionic raft]

HTMX is astonishingly simple AND powerful. It's not a silver bullet, but it does partial page updates for parent-child forms REALLY well...

HTMX...those green plus symbols...click it and the child form opens in-page.

[uncut trellis]

I was just checking out your sites in your bio haha

[ionic raft]

Like this...

[fiery hare]

you can use nextjs for the rfreshed pages it is the most usefull framework in this part i think

[uncut trellis]

I read up on htmx briefly, so it performs ajax requests for you

interesting

[ionic raft]

Make a change and save...result:

[uncut trellis]

Interesting, yeah react is also pretty popular

[ionic raft]

HTMX let's you accomplish a partial page CRUD. Very useful for inline forms.

[fiery hare]

yeah

[uncut trellis]

I see it allows you to send get and post requests

Cool

Want to see my django e commerce site I built?

Not sure if were allowed to share our site here

[ionic raft]

I post links to my projects in my bio, and let the conversation inspire peeps to click them.

[uncut trellis]

Fair i'll update my bio now

[ionic raft]

It's the safe route 😄
Links in your profile are fair game 😉

[uncut trellis]

updated, would love your feedback

Its a purely django based tire e commerce site here in Dubai (my startup)

[merry lake]

I have a copy of django design patterns and best practices, and I wonder what the opinions are on that book

[ionic raft]

Nice landing page. appreciate you factored ultra wide monitors.

[uncut trellis]

Thanks man, yes def made sure it is responsive for all resolutions

[ionic raft]

Using React for that?

[uncut trellis]

Nope, no react

[ionic raft]

Solid work, bruh

[uncut trellis]

My stack is html/css/jquery and bootstrap of course

With lots of custom css coding, custom design, etc

to test a tire search search the size 255 55 19 for example

[ionic raft]

I'd refine the font for the menu. It looks out of place with the rest of the font choices.

[uncut trellis]

Good eye, I used a different font for the menu was testing it out, will probably revert back to the normal font family used throughout the site

[ionic raft]

Great use of css

[fiery hare]

the best font for me is robot

[uncut trellis]

Oh yeah, you will see in the CSS code that I really used the min-width and min-height to make sure it looks good on all resolutions haha

[ionic raft]

Good tire selector. Given the purpose of the site, it's a very solid search implementation with solid UX

[fiery hare]

if you need any help in the front end or back using js

i will be there

dude

[uncut trellis]

Thanks! I'm using wheelsize API to get the tire size data and vehicle data

[ionic raft]

Excellent. I was just going to ask how you're embedding search parameters.

[uncut trellis]

Cool thing about this project is we have 0 inventory. We partnered up with major suppliers in the region to give us access to their live data, cost, stock, etc, to provide a large selection of tires to consumers

So basically we are offering millions of $ worth of inventory without having a single tire in our warehouse

[ionic raft]

Solid idea and approach. There's value in being able to simplify search in practical ways

[uncut trellis]

Thank you 🙂

[ionic raft]

My apps tend to be more complex. But my latest solution is doing things no other event management solution currently does. Exciting times. It's in alpha right now, so still smoothing out the kinks. But so far so good.

[uncut trellis]

Interesting im on your site right now

[ionic raft]

It's not super sexy like yours. But then, my passion is function. Build great function with solid UX and they will come.

[uncut trellis]

I think we both should change our admin paths 😂

[ionic raft]

LOL I haven't honeypotted Admin yet. But I will when we shift to full prod

[uncut trellis]

the admin panel is actually terrifying if its hacked. I am thinking of creating a 2fa for accessing the django admin

its literally the engine to your DB

[uncut trellis]

Exactly everything is step by step, if you have a really good product, you can always improve the design and such

But the product must be good 😛

[ionic raft]

Well, Whurthy will be separate apps and DBs for each client installation. So, hacking risk is contained per application/client.

[uncut trellis]

Yup really good design

[ionic raft]

The starting question for me...is this solving an urgent, pervasive problem? Yes? Then it's valuable.

[uncut trellis]

So this is a SASS product

[ionic raft]

Whurthy is doing a few things that no competing app is. Automated discounting, wait lists, automated cancellations by host/venue.
Yes, SaaS all the way

[uncut trellis]

Man... I love SaaS. One of my dreams is to try to create another SaaS company down the road

[ionic raft]

The potential market for Whurthy....well, any retail service outfit, through to festivals.

[uncut trellis]

I had a fintech SaaS product coded in PHP for the front and partial backend, and java for the major backend (this was years ago)

I loved it, sadly it didnt workout as planned but SaaS in general is awesome if you get it right

Interesting I am reading the features right now

[ionic raft]

Well, it's early days for us. We are inviting a few close clients to alpha. From there we will get to see how it works out in the real world. It's a great idea in my head yet to be proven.

[uncut trellis]

Awesome you have clients lined up for an alpha. It will be a good time to seek out major bugs and such

[ionic raft]

Bootstrap made it possible to make Whurthy look like an app on your smartphone...without the app overhead and limitations 😄

[ionic raft]

Yup. We even have a fully baked-in support ticketing system to take suggestions and manage issues through to future requirements

[uncut trellis]

I wish you the best of luck man, I love seeing other entrepreneurs making their move in tech, especially SaaS

[ionic raft]

🙂 Thanx

[kindred halo]

no prob, thanks for helping

[dense slate]

I'm trying to decide whether to stick to a Next.js+Django with SSE setup or to instead begin with Next.js+Node with websockets for a web app that will allow mutliple users to have a chat-like experience with storytelling. Mostly users will be playing async over days/weeks/months/years, but there should be a somewhat real-time ability for players to play together at the same time if they want to.

Anyone have recommendations of food for thought I could look over to steer me one way or the other?

[dense slate]

This is a great idea.

[patent glade]

I have an element which is supposed to be invisible (opacity 0) unless a companion element is hovered on

So I've got a css transition that works perfectly fine, except

When the page loads, the element isn't transparent yet, and so it fades out as the stylesheet is loaded

I know I could solve this with javascript, but I feel like there should be a css only solution

[warped timber]

for Flask, how do I check that a request came from localhost (without bypasses)?
currently I have request.environ.get("REMOTE_ADDR") == "127.0.0.1"

but idk if that would work or not

using uwsgi + nginx using https://github.com/tiangolo/uwsgi-nginx-flask-docker/ if it matters

excuse me, I need some help about upload file in django form. How to store the file after upload with form into my local storage of project?

this is my folder structure

[uncut trellis]

You are trying to upload files from a form into your local database and store the file itself in your media folder correct?

To upload a file in django, you must ensure you set a column in your model to store the file location such as this:

    file = models.FileField(null=True, blank=True,upload_to='orders/files/vault/')

Also make sure in your urls.py of your project folder, you have the following:

urlpatterns = [
           
              ] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

in settings.py add the following:

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
    MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')

Now you can easily upload files. If you want to use a django form, simply add the fields you want to enter into your model in the form, and on the front-end make sure you have the following code in your <form> tags:

<form id="id_of_form" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
</form>

In that form you'd put your django form by injecting it or manually adding the upload field and such for a more controlled UX

[dusk portal]

for making POST request in it use request.FILES.get or request.FILES

• for accessing it use .url on last at the orm

[brittle trail]

yes like that

[brittle trail]

this code is to store the file has been upload from a form to my local storage right?

[uncut trellis]

Yes it will save the file into the MEDIA folder

[brittle trail]

ohh I see. But if I want to process the store file in the views.py not in the models. What should I do?

[uncut trellis]

When you upload files in Django, they are saved in your model and stored in the MEDIA folder

Otherwise you will be uploading random files with no way to access them

import time

import config

from functools import lru_cache
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, Depends


app = FastAPI()


@lru_cache()
def get_settings():
    return config.Settings()


async def get_ip_details(client_host: str, ip_info_api_token: str) -> dict:
    url = f"https://ipinfo.io/{client_host}/json?token={ip_info_api_token}"
    # Logic to fetch ip details from 3rd party
    # Sleep simulating the delay
    time.sleep(10)
    return {"ip": url}


@app.get("/")
async def root(request: Request):
    client_host = request.client.host
    return {"ip": client_host}


@app.get("/detail")
async def ip_details(request: Request, settings: config.Settings = Depends(get_settings)):
    client_host = request.client.host
    ip_info_api_token = settings.ip_info_api_token
    ip_details = await get_ip_details(client_host, ip_info_api_token)
    return ip_details

When a client hits /detail I would like to make a request to a 3rd party API and reply with results. But right now if /detail is being served then / hangs too and only serves when /detail is resolved for other client. How can I do this in truly async way?

[uncut trellis]

@lime mist This is flask?

[lime mist]

fast api

[uncut trellis]

Woops yeah

If it had been django coulda helped 😛

[lime mist]

my true question is, how can I make a function from scratch that I can await properly

[uncut trellis]

How I run my scripts in Django is run them through a thread so that the server isn't waiting for the process to complete to serve the request, and when the process completes you can save the result in the database, and have your frontend constantly waiting for the process to complete for that user, and when it detects it, grabs the data, but again this is fastapi so not so sure

[lime mist]

yup, I am aware of that method, used to do it with flask

but async seems different than that, so just wanted to try it out and understand it

[uncut trellis]

Ah okay

[brittle trail]

ohh okay, it's fixed, thank you for your help

Hi, I just bought a domain name yesterday and deployed my website on GitHub pages. It says DNS check in progress? What does that mean? Is it the propagation? Is there anything I need to do on the domain side?

[elder walrus]

I have a FileField() (using django here) from where I upload a file, it is storing it inside the MongoDB database. When I visit the admin panel and try to visit the image url, it throws a 404 error. It is not saving the file in my directory. I have updated the settings and urls and still somehow its not saving the file.

This is my models.py

grid_fs_storage = GridFSStorage(collection='images', base_url=''.join([settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'images/']))
grid_fs_storage_video = GridFSStorage(collection='videos', base_url=''.join([settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'videos/']))

# Create your models here.
class Uploads(models.Model):
    uploaded_file = models.FileField(null=True, blank=True, storage=grid_fs_storage)
    uploaded_video = models.FileField(null=True, blank=True, storage=grid_fs_storage)

Using this in my urls.py

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

And my settings.py

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')

How to open a url silently without getting a 403 error code, anyone can help ?

[uncut trellis]

You shouldn't have run makemigrations. Simply run python manage.py migrate

Because the migrations have already been created in the initial project, you want to migrate them locally to your database. Afterwards, if you make changes to any model, you can run makemigrations, but you need to initialize all the tables first

[uncut trellis]

Not really recommended but you can go to every app in the django project and delete the migrations folders, and then run python manage.py makemigrations and then python manage.py migrate

and when you do that make sure you delete the old database, create a new database then run the commands

If you don't do that, your django_migrations table will mess things up

[light fiber]

thanks @uncut trellis will try

[uncut trellis]

Also why not use MariaDB, so much better

On my development server on my local pc, I use HeidiSQL to connect to my database to visually see the tables and data for easier coding flow, and the db I use is MariaDB

[uncut trellis]

You can use bootstrap for your front end, there are many customizable templates to choose from

[uncut trellis]

Check your NGINX error logs to diagnose the issue

Hi, I'm working on my js homework and for some reason elements placed inside div class 'product' are aligned horizontally. Is there any reason for that? I know it isn't python question but it probably counts as web-dev. Screen for reference.

[uncut trellis]

What do you mean aligned horizontally, you mean centered?

[random mantle]

insted vertical elemnets are in one line

i mean inside class product not products wrapper which is flexbox

[uncut trellis]

Can you share the css code for .products

And how would you like them to be positioned?

[random mantle]

#products
{
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
flex-wrap: wrap;

}

without it it works the same

[uncut trellis]

Well this css code is for the ID productions, not the class inside

[random mantle]

i know

[uncut trellis]

any code for .products{
}
?

[uncut trellis]

Ah

[random mantle]

i don't want them to be in horizontal line

but they are for some reason without using float left or anything

[uncut trellis]

Im still confused lol

[random mantle]

me too

they should be one under another

[uncut trellis]

so you want the product under it to be beside it?

you want the bottom image next to the tv on the left?

[random mantle]

i want content of product to be one uner another

[indigo kettle]

I think you just don't want flex

[random mantle]

no

i want
Telewizor
Image of tv
price
button

one under another

[uncut trellis]

Oh

[unique hemlock]

can you check dm pls ?

[indigo kettle]

remove flex

put each thing in its own div

[uncut trellis]

Yeah honestly use the styles tab in your element console and try to remove certain css code/add til you get it to work

[random mantle]

hmmm, some work will be done. Thanks for your time 😄

[uncut trellis]

Good luck!

[random mantle]

Thanks

[wind dove]

On a lot popular websites their class names get randomized/obfuscated is this easy to implement on Django?

[serene prawn]

I don't think you need that, plus it might have to do with compilation process in different frontend frameworks

[uncut trellis]

Why would you need to do that? Most of the processing is happening in the backend anyways

[uncut trellis]

I assume you are referring to the front-end code of your django web app, because users will not be able to see your python backend

[indigo kettle]

I could imagine big sites might do it to discourage scraping

I think I've seen it just as a by-product of using certain libraries like in react. Some libraries do css in js and you just define variables that refer to styles and use those in your jsx -- then a byproduct of this is randomized class names I think

[placid trench]

Hello, I added second domain to django config and now static files don't load anymoe

[brave rapids]

Hello

I developed a web app using HTML CSS JS BOOTSTRAP and FLASK. Add the login functionality. The login tab shows in the nav bar when I go through index.html but when I open the app using flask run, it never shows the login option

[native tide]

i have a folder with html files i want to insert/include in my main document, how would i do that using js
the only way i know so far is to use the fetch api to get them and innerHTML

[uncut trellis]

So long as the html data is structured, changing class names of JS functions isn't an issue for scrapers. Scrapers will be scraping html content anyways, the only time JS is important is if its loading data into the site, which at that point they may use the network tab to figure out the request that is loading the data and try to send a request directly to the endpoint to retrieve such data

masking themselves using headers to trick the endpoint in thinking its a normal user requesting the data from a browser (using selenium for example with scrapy)

[indigo kettle]

I thought he was talking about obfuscating css class names?

but now I'm not sure

Now THAT is something I've worked out how to minimize

So far I've build a couple of solid SaaS solutions with only minimal JS

[silver nexus]

how u do it

[ionic raft]

Well, that is driven by what you are trying to do

[silver nexus]

ya js is the bane of my existence same as c++ pointers

[ionic raft]

but I do use a css framework (bootstrap, where JS toggles nav with hamburger for mobile for example)

[silver nexus]

ok

[ionic raft]

There are other small uses. But I've managed to avoid JS Frameworks

[silver nexus]

make sense

ya js is wierd

[ionic raft]

htmx....very useful for inline forms

[silver nexus]

True

[ionic raft]

JS is not what I would call an...elegant...language 😄

I also fundamentally strive to do as much backend through the application layer as I can. JS is a slippery slope for confusing application with presentation. Certainly, there is some behaviour you often want to adapt for. But much of my focus is on functionality. I want to master that. Slick UIs can come later. 😉

An axiom for me....form should follow function.
