[native tide]

well, im still 16 but im working on a small project rn with flask

its rlly stupid but

it was pretty fun to work on

[golden bone]

In that case I would focus on getting a degree after high school, but you're in good shape... I definitely didn't know how to do that at 16

[native tide]

yeah but its still pretty not good

i barely know how to put these stuff

its really unorganised

[golden bone]

looks fine to me, but it's all about practice, just keep at it and you'll keep getting more comfortable doing more challenging things

[native tide]

yeah, thanks

im rlly paranoid about my future haha

since i dont really see anything i do as good, i feel like the only good project ive done is my pico8 player thats virutally useless

as you have to go to the original website to get the games haha

...and it didnt even use flask

[sudden sierra]

As a fellow neko lover I'd like to see this website grows

[native tide]

yeah im playing with names rn

i didnt know how to make the app start from /catboys so i did it like that

lol

[sudden sierra]

If you want to redirect users from / to /catboys when they visit / then create another view function that redirects the user to /catboys, see this answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/14343978/14169295

Ohh just I noticed you did something similar to handling HTTP 404 status code lol, btw 404 stands for "Not found", I guess you should rename that function to "not_found"

[native tide]

yeah ik

but i couldnt make it so / redirects to catboys

so i made it when it cant find anything it just sends you there

[native tide]

oooh tysm!

[sudden sierra]

np!

[native tide]

ive been working so hard on this website and its finally looking up owo

[ocean slate]

your problem solved?

[ocean slate]

bro, if you need any help in Flask, you can message me personally. I'll try to help.

[wind dove]

So this site I'm working on will have groups, I want to have an option to create groups based off your school. Any ideas on how to do this while keeping some form of security in the sense of stopping anyone from joining any schools group?

I'm considering doing it off of school email but some schools limit emails from being sent/received from outside, untrusted domains. I'm thinking of possibly doing it through oauth but want more opinions first.

[native tide]

yknow ive been working on this site for so damn long

but

i dont think i can add this to my resume-

[wind dove]

All depends on where you wanna work 🤣

no, python is a backend, html is the structure, css is the style, javascript is the interactivity and dynamics, python is the algorithms and databases

how can I add a date field in django user authentication for storing user's date of birth?

[sudden sierra]

You can create a custom user model that inherits from AbstarctUser or AbstractBaseUser (Depending on if you want to change the authentication process or not) and add a DateField if you're just starting a project. Or you can extend the User model using one-to-one relation with another model.
See this article:
https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2016/07/22/how-to-extend-django-user-model.html

[sudden sierra]

What are you using to send POST requests? Django forms or AJAX?

[lapis spear]

is that @spare ridge.route stuff what is used on apis?

im just beginner is it still part of django?

[obtuse robin]

it is flask

i think

[lapis spear]

oh i see it thanks

[sudden sierra]

Why not? You can add stuff to it and make it a big project. Add user registration and authentication stuff, let users bookmark images, let the app send an email to users about popular entries every week, and many many other things you can do.
What you can do in this project you can definitely to it in another one.

[hoary brook]

@native tide Even if the topic isn't very serious, that project still shows your skills pretty well. As others have said, you can always expand it or transfer a lot of what you've learned to a different project. I'm working with Flask as well and never had any 'serious' projects, but I learned a lot from experimenting and ended up transferring much of that code to a 'proper' project - in my case that was an project/issue tracker.

[native tide]

hello guys

i need some help in css

is there anyone here???

so this is a <div> element, in which I am trying to add the "<_" text. But it seems no matter how I try to align it, it doesn't. So can someone pls tell how to center the text, vertically and horizontally in the box

it is horizontally centred, by doing text-align: center;, but how to do it horizontally??

[obtuse robin]

what’s the code of the child and parent

for css

[native tide]

.logo {
  border-radius: 25px;
  background: #2fc4ab;
  opacity: 0.5;
  padding: 20px; 
  width: 370px;
  height: 320px;
  margin-left: 180px;
  font-family: Product Sans;
  font-size: 200px;
  text-align: center;
}

[obtuse robin]

and of the <_

?

or is it just a giant text

[native tide]

its just a text yes

[obtuse robin]

if so pls put a div around that

and put all the styling for the text in that

[obtuse robin]

then make this logos position relative

and the text divs position absolute

[native tide]

<div class="logo">
    <p><_</p>
  </div>

look ive wrote this in the html file

[obtuse robin]

oh okay, then just put a class for the p

[native tide]

ohh...

[native tide]

okay..

[obtuse robin]

and so when you put the p tag as absolute, also put this in

top: 50%;
left: 50%;
translate: transform(-50%, -50%);

[native tide]

okay i'll

[obtuse robin]

the reason you put translate transform -50% is because the left and top 50% translation starts from the top left meaning you need to balance it and bring it to the center

[native tide]

oh lol its even more separated now... it has gone more far

[native tide]

hmm..

[obtuse robin]

did you put the logo class as relative?

[native tide]

yes

[obtuse robin]

it’s either transform: translate

or translate: transform i forgot

[native tide]

lol

wait

i think i should delete the text portion in the logo class right??

[obtuse robin]

oh yeah 😭

[native tide]

here... because now i've created another class for the text... thats why maybe it didnt work

i'll just copy and paste that part

[obtuse robin]

let me pull this up on my laptop real quick lmfao

[native tide]

lol

i've worked in css before too... but that was 2 years ago lmao... i've now forgotten almost all of it

[obtuse robin]

i see

[native tide]

what should i do now

[obtuse robin]

<style>
    .logo {
  border-radius: 25px;
  background: #2fc4ab;
  opacity: 0.5;
  padding: 20px; 
  width: 370px;
  height: 320px;
  margin-left: 180px;
  font-family: Product Sans;
  font-size: 200px;
  text-align: center;
  position: relative;
}

.logo_text{
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translate(-50%, -150%);
}
</style>
<body>
    <div class="logo">
        <p class="logo_text"><_</p>
      </div>
    
</body>

[native tide]

oh wow

[obtuse robin]

for some reason putting the translate to -150% works

its just a bit buggy for some reason

[native tide]

-150% ??

[obtuse robin]

yea

[native tide]

yeah that can happen sometimes

[obtuse robin]

meaning its going upwards by 150%

[native tide]

yes

[native tide]

wait

but thats not working for me

its just stuck for some reason

[obtuse robin]

send the code

[native tide]

okay

theyre two different files

[obtuse robin]

thats fine

[native tide]

should i send them both?

[obtuse robin]

yea

[native tide]

okay gr8

.header {
  padding: 30px;

[native tide]

😂

lol

wait i'll change it 😂

YES!!!

NOW IT WORKS!!!

SUCCESSFULLY

[obtuse robin]

there we go

[native tide]

yeah silly me

thanks a lot mate

[obtuse robin]

welcome welcome

absolute positioning is a life saver

[native tide]

i was working on that for more than 3 hours now... it finally worked

[obtuse robin]

when you want to create interesting looking things

[native tide]

yes it is

[obtuse robin]

because positioning is very easy with it

[native tide]

yeah

[obtuse robin]

same with flexbox but you can be more creative with absolute positioning

[native tide]

hmm... i'd prefer absolute positioning

thanks again mate

now say if i want to change the background color of the entire website at once... can i do that??

[obtuse robin]

yes just do

body {
  background-color: color;
}

[native tide]

okay thanks

ah yes it works gr8

Hello guys, I am able to get a response with jwt token via axios in vue3, but it looks like setting the axios header with bearer and jwt token not work.

    async submit () {
      const credentials = {
          username: this.form.email,
          password: this.form.password
      }
      axios.post('http://127.0.0.1:8000/login', credentials)
      .then((response) => {
        localStorage.setItem('jwtToken', response.data.token);
        setAuthHeader(response.data.token);
        console.log(response)
      })
      .catch((err) => console.log(err.response));

import axios from 'axios';

const setAuthHeader = (token) => {
    if (token) {
        axios.defaults.headers.Authorization = {'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`}
    } else {
        delete axios.defaults.headers.Authorization;
    }
};

export default setAuthHeader;

in main js i have this

if (localStorage.jwtToken) {
    setAuthHeader(localStorage.jwtToken);
} else {
    setAuthHeader(false);
}

it works fine with via curl. but it does not seem to be working via vue...

When a project is fun to work on the time taken becomes irrelevant. ❤️

[native tide]

and noww im angy

why wont it work

i did everything every tutorial told me

anyone knows what to do?

i alr have my project interpreter configured

[sudden sierra]

Maybe just restart VSCode

[native tide]

i did

like 4 times

[sudden sierra]

Ohh it should be
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy

[native tide]

still nothing,,

[sudden sierra]

Reactivate your virtual environment, right now it's not active

[sudden sierra]

Judging from the terminal

[native tide]

hm

maybe those errors mean smth?

[sudden sierra]

Yeah, the yellow underline is related to Pylance error sometimes

[native tide]

okay i am restearting my laptop

when life gives you error

turn it off and on again

[sudden sierra]

I guess it has nothing to do with the laptop, but it never hurts to restart

[native tide]

nothing

i am losing hope

i need that tb to save the links from the images

so it can show it on the bookmark section

[sudden sierra]

You should be able to use flask_sqlalchemy if it's installed, it's just VSCode that's complaining, and run the app from the terminal

[native tide]

i can try

idk how to activate my venv from the terminal tho

i would have never switch from pycharm if it wasnt so expensive to use css :/

[sudden sierra]

If you're in the root of your project just open the terminal there and type:

source your_venv_name/bin/activate

[native tide]

thankss

oh youre right

thanks

so from now on,, only terminal

UGH

i swear im gonna switch to atom

[sudden sierra]

No problem
Definitely it's good thing to get used to the terminal

[native tide]

yay

[daring isle]

How are we handling multiple entries for a single column ?
I’m tempted to abstract it with a linked table . But is it normal to maybe put some sort of delimiter for the values instead ?

So option1;option2;option6

More specifically when it comes to database storage

Or would it be better to create a reference table and say
Id 1 - related table id 4 - value option1

Id2- related table id 4 - value option2 etc

[gilded hound]

hey any idea on how to fix this ?

[mystic wyvern]

I think you should use = instead of : 🙂👍

Hey I've been following this tutorial step by step
https://youtu.be/CTrVDi3tt8o?list=PLCC34OHNcOtqW9BJmgQPPzUpJ8hl49AGy
and I followed whatever was in here but why do I get an error like this?

[eternal blade]

class MessagesViewSet(viewsets.GenericViewSet, mixins.ListModelMixin, mixins.CreateModelMixin):
    pagination_class = pagination.PageNumberPagination

    def get_queryset(self):
        # The pagination limit is set to 50 items per page,
        # so we don't need to use .limit here
        return Message.objects.filter(chat__id=self.kwargs["chat_pk"])

    def get_serializer_class(self):
        if self.request.method in ("POST", "PATCH", "PUT"):
            return MessageCreateSerializer
        else:
            return MessageSerializer

    def perform_create(self, serializer):
        serializer.save(chat_id=self.kwargs["chat_pk"])
``` When a new message is being created I want to use `MessageCreateSerializer` but when the data is returned I want to return the representation from `MessageSerializer` since it gives a more full serialization, any way to do that?

[sudden sierra]

It might be a problem in the project's url, there's an extra space after authen/

[sudden sierra]

The thing you want is implemented in get_serializer_class() method. Is it not working?

[eternal blade]

it works, but MessageCreateSerializer has fewer fields compared to MessageSerializer (because it only has fields required when creating a message but MessageSerializer is intended to fully serialize a message)

when returning a response I want to serialization of MessageSerializer

[sudden sierra]

Usually I use viewsets.ModelViewSet, then I have access to create(), list() etc methods, They return the expected serializers.
Instead of doing if self.request.method == "POST" you can do if self.action == "create"

Try it out, I have to go right, now, I have a meeting

If things didn't go well ping me

[eternal blade]

oh thanks, I didn't subclass ModelViewSet because I think that I won't be needing every method (list, retrieve, delete, etc)
Thanks!

[steel delta]

It's weird, I've just checked everything and there's no space in the urls

[eternal blade]

The fix for it was overriding create() and implementing my own logic

[native tide]

its trying its best lmao

[eternal blade]

I'm using PageNumberPagination to paginate the messages, but how do I order the messages at by the created_at field

[mystic wyvern]

You want order it in the database or in the view? If in the view you could use order_by()

[sudden sierra]

You can specify what HTTP methods you want the view to have

[eternal blade]

oh

how can i do that, the last time i checked the only way was to only subclass the mixins i needed

[eternal blade]

but the database fetching is done internally in the paginator, in CursorPagination i can specify the ordering attribute but seems like PageNumberPagination does not support that

[sudden sierra]

Define this attribute in your view:

class MyView(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    http_method_names = ["get", "post"] # And others 

[eternal blade]

thanks i did not know that

[sudden sierra]

Can you send the urls.py of your app?

[sudden sierra]

No problem 👍

[sudden sierra]

Yeah, there's no ordering in the PageNumberPagination unfortunately

[viscid valley]

With Django's admin, is it possible to use non fields, like custom functions inside of inlines? I always get field not found.

For instant list_display for inlines, or any way to add to them

Aaaahh readonly_fields is the solution

[steel delta]

main urls.py

    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('application.urls')),
    path('authen/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
    path('authen/', include('authen.urls')),
]

app urls.py

    path('login_user', views.login_user, name='login'),
]

[dusk totem]

Double check your form. Make sure it's the method that has POST, not the action.

[steel delta]

My bad that's why. Thank you! I was blind for not checking that.

[dusk totem]

No worries.

hey guys I am making a website and I am using cdnjs libraries to import files (linked to my html file) that allow my site to include a box slider. I was wondering how do I edit the default code that is in a cdnjs library and change the css?
thanks

[dusk totem]

Django might help you with that.

[dusk totem]

best if you can make a class specific for what its called. If the class is called Order, then it should only contain everything about the order. And if it contains other classes, then it should have a reference of those other classes as an attribute to the Order class.

Yep without hitting submit would be better, so Ajax magic maybe 🙂

[wooden ruin]

flask is a backend server library. js is a language that is commonly used on the frontend of applications. they don't depend on each other as they have different purposes. however yes you can use js to talk with a flask server

[worthy lake]

It can be very simple or very not simple. It depends on how much communication has to go on between front and back.

if its more than just light effects here and there, it usually makes the app very complex and on another level if you are just starting out with web apps.

but that is what you call a "fullstack application", one with heavy js interface and a backend api.

[modest zodiac]

can fastapi serve basic html pages or do i need to use flask for that

[worthy lake]

you dont need flask to serve static html if that is what you mean. any web server can do that.

[sudden sierra]

FastAPI can return HTML responses. You can also use jinja2 to render HTML templates.

Hello.
I tried to create a model on my new Django project, using the following code in my models.py file:

from django.db import models

class userProfile(models.Model):
    userID = models.IntegerField()

afterwards, I inserted "userProfile" into my installed apps in settings.py

then I typed makemigrations in my terminal but I get this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'userProfile'

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

[sudden sierra]

In the INSTALLED_APPS you should include the app's name, not the model's name you created in the app.

Let's say that you created an app called profiles, you'll have a new folder called profiles. In order for Django to detect the app you must add profiles to the INSTALLED_APPS in your project's settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [

Nothing im trying is working

[royal ferry]

oh lord i read that as "moist catgirls" 💀

can anyone here please tell me what's the use of "span" !?!?

[dusk totem]

According to the MDN, it's basically nothing. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/span

[royal ferry]

yea that "it represents nothing" made it all confusing

could've just said it's an inline container

[dusk totem]

Well its used for styling and other things. So its an element that doesn't do anything and we can practically abuse it in HTML markup

[royal ferry]

yea just tried it in some examples

[limber basalt]

sidebar css file

how do i dynamically increase the height of the side bar as more <p></p> content are added?

[frank shoal]

Use min-width instead of width

Er, height

[limber basalt]

doesn't min-width affects the sidebar horizontally?

[frank shoal]

Which class is this?

Content?

[limber basalt]

_sidebar.handlebars

<div class="vertical_navbar">
    <ul>
        <li class="image_section"><img src="/img/defaultUser.png" alt="User icon" class="navbarImage"></li>
        <li class="collapsible"><a class="active" href="#MyProfile"><img src="/img/profile.png" alt="icon"
                    class="navbarIcon">My profile<img src="/img/triangledown.png" alt="dropdown"
                    class="dropdownIcon"></a></li>

        <div class="content">

        <li><a href="myRewards"><img src="/img/voucher.png" alt="icon" class="navbarIcon">My rewards</a></li>
    </ul>

am i a real web dev guys

[lavish dirge]

Hello, guys. I have faced with problem of converting tdata (telegram api) to json file, opentele does not help me. What could you recommend to me?

[zealous elk]

Depends on whether or not you've built actual websites that you've deployed out there or whether you've helped in the development of one that was deployed

I'd say you're a web dev as soon as you start learning about web dev, but you won't be recognized as one until you have some projects to your name

[zealous elk]

Look for some other libraries. If you don't know where to look for them besides discord, ask people on reddit/stackoverflow, their python community is a lot more active than the one here on discord. (Though asking stuff on discord is a lot more easier in my opinion)

[lavish dirge]

Thanks🤝.

[zealous elk]

Lastly, if you can't find any libraries, use the existing libraries to create your own library. Although I won't recommend doing so until you've thoroughly done your research

I tried to create a custom library for MySQL for a flask project of mine and it was a horrible experience. Eventually, I got around to using the SQLAlchemy library

So I can speak from experience

Anyway, good luck 👍

hi im currently building a chat application using flask and using ngrok to change its url every launch so only users in the know can access it. however im running into an issue where when i use ngrok to connect to the site it shows the ip as localhost and doesnt let me use request.user_agent to gather data such as platform,language and browser which is necessary for fingerprinting users for bans etc. is there any alternative to using ngrok or any way i can make it still able to get the client ip and user agent data?

data=f"""
ip: {get_remote_address()}
platform: {dataagent.platform}
browser: {dataagent.browser}
version: {dataagent.version}
language: {dataagent.language}
useragent={dataagent.string}"""

dataagent=request.user_agent btw

ip: 127.0.0.1

I am creating a flask app which is basically an UI for the API of a game. The user should be able to enter their private API key and this key will be used to make requests to the game's API from this flask app. What is a good way to store this key without the user having to create an account? Is using the session storage or local storage a good idea? Or should it be handled on the server side, and if yes, how?

[tidal ore]

Can somebody recommend a basic CMS: minimum of features, zero or minimum dependencies, production ready?
I'm looking to quickly build a small website, but hoping that it's good enough to build on it a few features.

[tidal ore]

You are gonna need it on the server to make the API call, and is no need to keep it on the browser too.
I would make a dictionary, the key being the session ID from the browser, the value is the API key.

[vernal thistle]

Thanks, that is exactly what I got recommended from someone else.

[tidal ore]

anytime VVoozy

Still doesn't work?

now it worked, thank you :D

my images dont load but i think i will figure this out later

[crystal quiver]

Put the text you want to center in a container and then put margin-left: auto and margin-right: auto for the container.

Or make the topnav display:flex and then justify-content: center;

Why is the square rotated but not enlarged?

I'm currently trying to resolve a use-case on a Django project. Here's the question on Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72679751/django-4-x-conditional-order-by-of-a-queryset

Suggestions welcome...

[ionic raft]

Yes. Flask and Django are the two most popular web dev frameworks. Flask is simpler; Django is enterprise grade. You use Python to code the application and database layers. You use html to structure front-end web pages, css to style them, and js/htmx to manage dynamic behaviour.

In short, Python is very helpful in web development. With the width of the community combined with the depth of Python libraries, there is a lot that can be accomplished.

[robust kettle]

thanks for this elaborate response, htmx is news to me! I've definitely been intrigued to learn python

aiming to learn to automate some daily things I do and expand my vision on what it can be used for

[ionic raft]

htmx is a way of partially updating web-pages (like Ajax but without the Ajax). I started with Python last April. It came up as a powerful language for web development. By June I was into Flask, by July Django. Now, I'm on my third deployed Django project.

Python can be used for a LOT of things. And when it comes to web development, the end results are very, very fast websites. When I compare the speed of the projects I've built (with considerable application complexity) with many web applications out in the wild I'm always pleased by how snappy the web apps built on Python feel.

[brisk mortar]

Why is the square rotated but not enlarged?

[robust kettle]

web apps are taking over the world, man, its good scope and not gonna run out any soon

[robust kettle]

this is CSS related, is your endblock nesting any blocks inside?

[ionic raft]

True story. My profile has a couple of projects I've deployed. The business app I used with clients to support process improvement training I deliver. The event management app is in testing and is solving a currently unsolved problem. I'm currently building a digital library web app doing things I've not seen done before.

[brisk mortar]

I already solved the problem, but thanks for trying to help 😁

Someone provided an answer. When using pre-build functions, be sure to import them! face palm

Here is the answer. If you need to conditionally order a filtered query, here's a direction you can take:

from django.db.models import Case, F, Q, Value, When

        reading_progress = ReadingProgress.objects.filter(user__username=self.request.user)\
            .annotate(
            date_to_display=Case(
                When(reading_progress='1) On Reading List', then=F('date_added')),
                When(reading_progress='2) Reading In Progress', then=F('date_started')),
                When(reading_progress='3) Completed Reading', then=F('date_completed')),
            )
        ).order_by(
            'date_to_display',
            ''
        )```

Django question: Why do we put our apps in this format:

'users.apps.UsersConfig'

in the installed_apps area of the settings.py file instead of just typing

'users'

Both ways work. The former can be useful to be more explicit about which AppConfig you want to use, if your app has multiple.

This is not for python, but html and css, how do u scale an image down, like I have a logo its current wxh is 2048x2048 how do I scale it down so it will fit and look good in the navbar (either reply, dm, or @ me)

[frank shoal]

With <img>?

You should just need to set the width and height

[indigo ether]

In css?

[proper hinge]

You can set the dimensions of the image in HTML. They are attributes of the img tag e.g. <img src="..." width="200" height="200/>

If you don't need to image to scale dynamically then that approach is fine.

If you do need it to scale dynamically, you could use object-fit in CSS or width and height in CSS.

[wooden ruin]

python-based server frameworks also really integrate well with asgi deployment which can provide reeaally fast asynchronous operations on servers. my only drawback about django in particular is that there's not much availibility for alternative libraries. for example it's really difficult to switch to a different ORM if you like a different one. i've recently switched to nestJS from django and haven't really looked back. i like it because it comes with all the batteries included as django does, but you also get to kind of pick-and-choose your functionality based on the wide options of different libraries ready do to a task

[ionic raft]

That's wonderful to read. When you find something that works for you, that's always amazing.
Django is working for me. I'm finding the ORM to be potent. When I bump into a wall where I can't accomplish the objectives I have then I'm sure I'll be shopping around.
That said, I will confess the rumour of async coming to Django is one I'd love to see come to pass!

Guys, what is the best approach here? To have logic handling all 3 forms in the welcome endpoint or to redirect to 3 different endpoints which will handle it separately?

@app.route("/welcome", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def welcome():
    if current_user.is_authenticated:
        return redirect(url_for("index"))

    loginForm = LoginForm()
    if loginForm.validate_on_submit():
        print("LOGIN")
        flash(
            "Login requested for user {}, remember_me={}".format(
                loginForm.username.data, loginForm.rememberMe.data
            )
        )
        # logic authorizing the user
        return redirect(url_for("login"))

    signUpForm = SignUpForm()
    if signUpForm.validate_on_submit():
        print("SIGNUP")
        return redirect(url_for("signUp"))

    resetPasswordForm = ResetPasswordForm()
    if resetPasswordForm.validate_on_submit():
        print("RESET")
        return redirect(url_for("passwordReset"))

    return render_template(
        "welcome.html",
        loginForm=loginForm,
        signUpForm=signUpForm,
        resetPasswordForm=resetPasswordForm,
    )

Not sure which option is better, to have it in one bigger module, or to have it in separate endpoints and risk it being 'too' modular

hello! a random question. is there a way to search YouTube videos without using YouTube data API?

[vernal thistle]

I have a kind of vague question. In Flask + Jinja2, without any frontend framework, what is a nice way to use view functions which needs to return a lot of data in its parameters, e.g.; return render_template('template.html', param1, param2,...,param10)? I think it's better to jsonify the response and handle the json in the templates somehow, but is there a standard acceptable way to do this?

Or is it better to simply bundle the parameters in a dictionary and access them with Jinja?

[tidal ore]

you can pack/unpack the parameters

params = {
    'param1': 1,
    'param2': 2
    }
return render_template('template.html', **params)

[vernal thistle]

What are you trying to achieve here? Server gets refreshed when code changes. But in production your code won't change so what's the point of the refresh?

[olive thistle]

anyone have a minimal http server recommendation?

• I am running this in prod
• I do not need templating; I'm not serving HTML; just responding with JSON

CherryPy seems reasonable

[proper hinge]

I did research for this several years ago and out of all the options I liked Falcon the most. It's a microframework so it doesn't have all the bells and whistles you don't need. It's also actively maintained (which can't really be said for something like bottle).

I think Falcon has some dependencies, but very few.

Actually no, it has none.

I used it for a dead simple HTTP REST API that operates on JSON. Worked perfectly.

Also had support for jsonschema validation so I used that too.

Hello everyone - it would be greatly appreciated if someone can help me out. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72690027/flask-cant-import-name-create-app-from-website Thanks!

[wheat verge]

I have a simple question .How does the template get access to the models objects when nothing is passed to the template

Like for example in function based view
s=Student.objects.filter(id=1) return render(request,' template.html',{'s':s})
we do something like this and then we can use the objects in s in the template....but how does this work in Class based view?

[paper yacht]

you have overwrite context_object_name by default it use student_list (if I'm not wrong)

it's really simple,

[novel stream]

Not sure if I got your question 🤔 in CBVs (class-based views) you override the get_context_data to pass the values you want to the frontend, with the name you like

[novel stream]

Also this, if you don't override the get_context_data you can override this attr class so that you can access with this name in the template

[wheat verge]

that being said how is the template able to acess those objects thats my question

[paper yacht]

you send object to the template)

[wheat verge]

is it sent automatically?

[novel stream]

Django is doing all the tricks for ya under the hoods. It will glue the template and the values you're passing so that you can use there

[paper yacht]

yeap

[wheat verge]

ok thank you....

is it same for form view?

like in fbv we made the object of form class then we pass it to the template so is it done automatically in case of formView

[novel stream]

from what I can see, yes it will work the same way as in a FBV

[zinc prawn]

Interesting. I hadn't seen that they added this, looks nice.

[normal token]

hey guys, how to have two django projects running on different ports communicate with each other?
Is there even a tutorial for this?

Im using Pub/Sub and Compute Engine. I create a Message from my Django Backend and then also create a Compute Engine instance. The Compute Engine then pulls the message.

Code in the Compute Engine

    def callback(message: pubsub_v1.subscriber.message.Message) -> None:
        cloud_logger.info("Received message: {}".format(message.data))
        # decode message data back form bytes to string
        data = json.loads(message.data.decode('utf-8'))

        try:  # try to create model
            create_model(data['target'],
                         data['uid'], data["model_id"], data["mode"], data["user_type"], bucket)
        except Exception as e:
            exception_type, exception_object, exception_traceback = sys.exc_info()
            filename = exception_traceback.tb_frame.f_code.co_filename
            line_number = exception_traceback.tb_lineno
            cloud_logger.error("Error: {}".format(
                exception_type, exception_object, exception_traceback, filename, line_number))
            update_model(0, data['uid'], data["model_id"], 0, "", "failed", data["user_type"], str(e))
        message.ack()

    streaming_pull_future = subscriber.subscribe(
        subscription_path, callback=callback)

    with subscriber:
        try:
            cloud_logger.info(
                "Listening for messages on {}..\n".format(subscription_path))
            streaming_pull_future.result(timeout=30.0)
        except TimeoutError:
            cloud_logger.error("TimeoutError")
            streaming_pull_future.cancel()
            self_kill_engine()

Its receiving the message but then instantly throws a TimeoutError. It worked before when my Compute Enginge started faster, but now it has a longer taking start-script. Does this effect the timeout in the .result() function ? Because the code is getting executed after everything else is installed from the start-script

[merry lake]

@normal tokenmaybe you need a system of passing messages from one to the other

[normal token]

elaborate?

[merry lake]

I dunno, it could be as simple as having a dir somewhere on each site, which the two sites where the dir is, would check it periodically

[wooden ruin]

you might be referring to microservices. try looking into that

django is a very "heavy" framework, so it might not be suitable for a microservice approach

[normal token]

Yep
Can you guide me to a resource? that I can refer to?

[nimble epoch]

Hi can anyone help me with uploading file from react

when i choose the image, i get something like C:/fakepath/filename.jpg.

seems django doesnt support that path. how can i get rid of it

[wooden ruin]

try this book
https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/microservice-architecture/9781491956328/

i've heard it's pretty good. haven't gotten around to reading it myself, but it should give you a solid insight into microservices

[rain tree]

can someone here help me with flask

[frank shoal]

ask a question

(this is a threat)

[rain tree]

i dont know how to make a flask api public

currently uses 127.0.0.1

[frank shoal]

First, you need a hosting service.

[rain tree]

i dont need

i have a server at home

i run it on that

[frank shoal]

You have a public ip already?

[rain tree]

yes

i have a server which i host my website on

[frank shoal]

You should use gunicorn to host a production server, then link it to a proxy application like nginx

[rain tree]

what is a proxy aplication?

what will that do?

[frank shoal]

what do you currently use as a web server for plain files?

nginx or apache?

[rain tree]

apache

[frank shoal]

In that case, you can install mod_wsgi

[rain tree]

yes

wait

so

[frank shoal]

I'm reading along with this btw.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Apache_HTTP_Server/mod_wsgi

[rain tree]

can i use flask

or do i need a different framework

[frank shoal]

flask is a wsgi implementation

[rain tree]

ok

[frank shoal]

Official docs: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.1.x/deploying/mod_wsgi/

[rain tree]

ok

[frank shoal]

fyi your package manager probably has mod_wsgi already if you're using the system python instead of a virtualenv

[rain tree]

ok

if i run the api on a public ip what port should i use?

[frank shoal]

should be port 80.

[rain tree]

ok

[frank shoal]

Consider using a virtual host so traffic is routed based on the Host header.

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/vhosts/

[rain tree]

ok

ok

but

how can i make the api public

[frank shoal]

Are you port forwarding? Maybe using a no-ip service?

[rain tree]

i am port forward

i think

[frank shoal]

Then using your public ip should work.

[rain tree]

yes

but as i said

[rain tree]

the default is this

127.0.0.1

idk how to change it

[frank shoal]

Don't run it using flask run

use apache to run it.

flask run is a development server anyway.

which means it's not as efficient and exposes certain things to users

[rain tree]

ok

sorry if im making u repeat urelf but how do i run it using apache?

[frank shoal]

^

[rain tree]

there is error

[frank shoal]

Requires a compiler and the Apache development headers to install.

What distro?

[rain tree]

ubuntu

[frank shoal]

just run sudo apt-get install mod_wsgi

[frank shoal]

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi

[rain tree]

ok

its installing

done

[frank shoal]

now run sudo apachectl restart

[frank shoal]

don't worry about that

[rain tree]

ok

[frank shoal]

Read this for configuring.
https://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/master/user-guides/quick-configuration-guide.html

[rain tree]

now how would i make an api?

[frank shoal]

that should be already written. This is guiding you on how to make it public.

[rain tree]

so how am i meant to run it

[frank shoal]

You're supposed to configure it in your httpd.conf

[rain tree]

i dont have that file

[frank shoal]

it's in /etc/

[rain tree]

no

[frank shoal]

I suggest switching to nginx

[rain tree]

thats what i have

[frank shoal]

That's it

Are you using a virtualenv?

[rain tree]

no

[frank shoal]

Then the link above is all you need.

[rain tree]

so the api script is /var/www/html/admin/planktum/api.py

how would i link it

[frank shoal]

The python file has to contain a application function. You can just assign application = api.app

WSGIScriptAlias /myapp /usr/local/www/wsgi-scripts/myapp.wsgi

See the "Mounting The WSGI Application" section

[rain tree]

also what is the virtualhost

im so confused

[frank shoal]

Did you read the vhost link I sent earlier?

[rain tree]

this one?

[frank shoal]

yes

[rain tree]

yes

thats for hosting 2 websites on the same server

[frank shoal]

Yes.

what you have pictured is the configuration for all addresses bound to port 80

[rain tree]

ok

[rain tree]

what do you meant by this

mean

[frank shoal]

You could have a localhost specific vhost

next to your api.py file, ```py

wsgi.py

import api
application = api.app

That's it. Plus you could add some apache specific configurations

[rain tree]

ok

[rain tree]

do i need to pip install api?

[frank shoal]

No, that's your api.py file

[rain tree]

ok

i see

[frank shoal]

just have the WSGIScriptAlias pointing to the wsgi.py file

[rain tree]

is this the whole file?

[frank shoal]

yes

[rain tree]

should i make that now?

[frank shoal]

you can probably merge it with api.py and point to api.py if you want

[rain tree]

how

[frank shoal]

i.e. ```py

api.py

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(name)

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

application = app

[rain tree]

whats this for/

???

[frank shoal]

that's a mistake. You just need __name__

Though a name is required for blueprints if you ever get into them.

[rain tree]

ok

ok

ok

done

[rain tree]

now how should i change this for me?

[frank shoal]

you could also do application = app = Flask(...)

[rain tree]

no

the wsgi thing

[rain tree]

i have done this

[frank shoal]

WSGIScriptAlias <url> <file>

it will generally be / /path/to/app.py

[rain tree]

ok

what does it mean if its /

[frank shoal]

/ is the root path on the web server.

[rain tree]

does that mean that the api will be ip/nameofapi

[frank shoal]

any path starting with / (all of them) will go to the wsgi app

yes

[rain tree]

WSGIScriptAlias /myapp /usr/local/www/wsgi-scripts/myapp.wsgi

do i ahve to put that in virtualhost

[frank shoal]

Yes.

[rain tree]

or can it be the normal one?

as im only using 1 website

[frank shoal]

put it in your virtualhost directive

the virtualhost is *:80

[rain tree]

ok

[frank shoal]

So that's basically the default.

[rain tree]

can i do

<VirtualHost *:80>
 WSGIScriptAlias /myapp /var/www/html/admin/planktum/api.py
</VirtualHost>

[frank shoal]

Should work. Do you have any static files?

[rain tree]

what are static files?

[frank shoal]

files served directly from the file system.

[rain tree]

sorry im a bit confused what u mean

[frank shoal]

Then don't worry about it.

[rain tree]

ok

ahh

this is so confusing

[frank shoal]

It might be a good idea to learn apache beforehand.

[rain tree]

ok

[frank shoal]

technically, I don't know apache. I prefer to use nginx.

[rain tree]

ok

i will try something else

AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using IP Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message

how could i get rid of this?

[frank shoal]

Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message

[rain tree]

what should i set it to?

[frank shoal]

Whatever

name your server

[rain tree]

ok

hi all, in react im setting a modal body using state on click of a button.
In the state im trying to map an array which relates to the original item.

im populating that array using another state from an axios call to my django backend.

the modal pops up and my original item is listed.
But the fetched data at the bottom is an empty array unless i exit the modal and go back in.

Essentially its setting the second state succesfully but its not rendering in time for the modal.

Id expect it to update the values once they load, but i think since the modal body is specified by a state it becomes static and doesnt update.

does anybody know the correct way to go about this?

Even if i managed to get around this fact, i kinda need the modal data able to update as im going to be potentially adding data in there

function PopUp({subState, children, title, openPopup, setOpenPopup, props, EditopenChecklist}) {
   
  const handlePopUpClose = () => {
    setOpenPopup(false);
  };
    //const{title, children, openPopup, setOpenPopup} = {...props};


  return (
    
        <div>
            <div className="overlay"></div>
    <Dialog className='myModal' open={openPopup}  >
        <DialogTitle className='myModalTitle'>
            {title} <Chip onClick={handlePopUpClose} color="error" label="X"/>
            
            </DialogTitle>
            <DialogContent setOpenPopup={setOpenPopup} EditopenChecklist={EditopenChecklist}>
                {children}
                {subState}                
            </DialogContent>        
    </Dialog>
    </div>
    
    
  )
}

I managed to get it to load on first click by creating an additional variable called subState, and populating the axios call into an array within the api call function.

The only problem now is its still there if i open the modal for a different reason (that doesn try to set the subState since its retained)

I can put something in to the modal submit and close function to wipe the substate, but that will only be necessary for half the time. it feels wrong

I want to pass html code through flask in a varible. For example python return render_template('index.html', importable_html="<img src='image.jpg'/>") then within the html I want to have that image load as a normal image with <div> {{ importable_html }} </div> Is this possible?

[daring isle]

yeah i think so. you need to put it in brackets i think ,
but if you know youre always going to have an image there it might be cleaner only making the target a variable .

importable_html=('image.jpg')

then in your template...

<img src={importable_html}/>

i cant remember if you need double or single {{}}, its usually double but i rermber something weird about doing this for nits of divs

I'm a bit stuck, trying to do something with Flask - and I am wondering if it's even possible. In my route method, I've defined an argument and set a default value. My goal is that when a user submits a form, I redirect to the same route, but want to pass a new string in that variable to have it execute some different logic, so that my jinja template renders a different block of code (namely, the second part of a form).

Is that even possible, or am I approaching this the wrong way? See my route method here:

@app.route("/session_management", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def session_management_builder(action='initial'):
    if action == "initial":
        title = "SM Builder - Event Info"
        form = sm_forms.EventInfo()
        if request.method == "POST" and form.validate_on_submit():
            print(request.form)
            global form_data
            form_data = {
            "event_name": request.form["event_name"],
            "pm_name": request.form["pm_name"],
            "ff_pid": request.form["ff_pid"],
            "account_name": request.form["account_name"],
            "account_number": request.form["account_number"],
            "event_code": request.form["event_code"],
            "ah_url": request.form["ah_url"],
            "start_date": request.form["start_date"],
            "end_date": request.form["end_date"],
            "event_timezone": request.form["event_timezone"],
            "expected_attendees": request.form["expected_attendees"],
            }
            session_management_builder(action="support_info")
        return render_template("session_management.html", title=title, form=form, action=action)
    elif action == "support_info":
        title = "SM Builder - Support Info"
        form = sm_forms.SupportInfo

    elif action == "upload_data":
        title = "SM Builder - Data Upload"
        form = sm_forms.DataUpload()```

The elif statements there aren't written yet, so can be ignored for now.

Then, within my jinja template, in my content block, I have an if statement

{% if action == "initial" %}

Or some other string - and no matter what I do its not working - making me think that perhaps my approach to this is flawed.

[daring isle]

session_management_builder(action="support_info")

Im not sure of the solution but it might have to do with how you're setting this variable

and using it in your function, because it might just be reseting back to action=initial everytime you render

def session_management_builder(action='initial'):

because of this

again, im unsure, but you might have to create seperate methods to overcome this

def session_management_builder(action='support_info'):
Your stuff here

if its that you're trying to maintain a trail of the same form data then id focus on grabbing the form response and redirecting using a pk possibly.
just a suggestion, i might not be on the money tho

[tidal ore]

try to copy / paste the code, don't take a picture of it, so we can test it without rewiting it

see this in the top left corner

it looks like an end of a comment

and you have no comment on your html

so first try to view the Practice.html file firectly in the browser, to make sure the html is ok

then try to find why the program that listens to the port 5500 is not serving it

with right click => view source you can see what the browser receives from that program, it may help you finding out the bug

as a general advice, make the simplest thing to work then add small changes to it and verify them right away, so when something is not working you know it's from the last change

Hello,
i have a Django Modell that has object_id as Primary Key and this is a CharField. I use graphene for API and when i create everything works until graphql has to return something, then it says cannot convert string to float. But i want the primary key to be a string not a float also when graphene returns it

[novel stream]

Also heroku might be a good option

[novel stream]

I'm curious, never used graphene. But how graphene plays here with the Django model?

[swift sorrel]

Thanks, I'll try!

[obtuse robin]

either heroku or pythonanywhere

[plain seal]

I have a mutation that create with a serializer a model and then return wanted values, and there it want to parse string to float

[obtuse robin]

i would recommend heroku more though

more control in it

[swift sorrel]

Is there any offers for students?

[novel stream]

so the mutation uses this serializer to serialize the model and return it with the wanted values?

[novel stream]

Not sure, but I don't think so IIRC

[obtuse robin]

i don’t think you need to pay for them rly

you can but it isn’t needed

[plain seal]

yes so you create the model, and for example you want to know the primary_key(string) and the name(string). It throws an error when it needs to return the primary key as string

[swift sorrel]

yes but if you want a custom domain on pythonanywhere for example you have to pay :/

[obtuse robin]

ohh yeah lol

for heroku it’s easier

[swift sorrel]

nice

[obtuse robin]

you can kinda name it for free

not fully it’ll be like “name.herokuapp.com”

if you’re okay with that lol

name as in you can change it to anything

[swift sorrel]

no I have my own domain and I wanna use it

[obtuse robin]

oh i see

then you’d have to pay yes

[swift sorrel]

okay np!

[novel stream]

is this a code you can share?

[inland oak]

Is anyone remembering a known video (trying to find a link)
where a small web company guy was telling how to communicate with client
and whole video his lawyer was present and he was telling how lawyer helped him through his work?
the video was something among the lines of how to say no and handle stuff correctly in negotiations / why important to have lawyer
it was kind of really funny video
and video was lasting 1 hour
it was kind of good for freelancers

if google would be able to handle this request, I would have been searching as youtube, funny, web company, freelancers, contract negotiation, lawyers, 1 hour

Hello, I'm a fullstack django dev and from my beginning of my career I've I've been using django( almost 4.6 years). These days FastAPI is becoming so popular and in 4 years of its span, many people started using it and it also has more than 45K GitHub stars in a quick span..

from the beginning of my professional career till now I've never used any other backend framework, because django was serving all my needs and that's why I'm still using it and I still love it.

But going forward should I stick to django?
Why FastAPI is growing so rapidly fast (just look at the GitHub starts)
Is FastAPI is going to be future for python backend web development?
Does django has any future? From version 3 django team has given us the async views and from 4.1 onwards django will provide async capabilities for the ORM as well.

So how does future holds for Django when we compare with FastAPI?

[inland oak]

Django will remain popular anyway

I would say with 4.6 years in django you are overexperienced already and should dive into FastAPI

it is just not healthy to be that overspecialized

FastAPI is cooler because..

• In python there are only three frameworks to choose: Flask, Django and FASTAPI, as they are all the most popular and the most supported by community, and you will find more developers already used to those solutions.
• Out of all three FASTAPI is preferable because: it is the most performant out of three, https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ , around 3-5 times faster than its competitors.
• FASTAPI is oriented to serve as JSON formated REST API backend first, while Django and Flask require additional addons to have it
• FASTAPI should be providing relatively minimal necessary stuff out of the box to serve as backend, without forcing its architecture too much on the application (like Django does)
• FASTAPI does not have limitations in async support like Django does because of its still incompatible sync Django ORM
• SQLAlchemy is the most popular and supported solution in Python community, supporting async stuff which makes it perfectly compatible with FASTAPI which is async compatible too.

I think performance reason is sort of one of main ones, though considering http delay stuff it is not that important

but considering that async flares the best in http delay stuff, it is actually important

probably scratch the architecture part though, in theory they should be more or less equal at that part 🤔 Framework is framework after all, and it does not matter that FastAPI is more microframework than batter included like Django is

[minor jetty]

Thanks you for the detailed explanations.. much appreciated 👏

[inland oak]

U a welcome. Just to be sure when I was saying overexperienced i was meaning...

...not that you are overexperienced

but that it is usually expected more diversity in skills from senior ranked skills

at least in technologies so closely similar

for true seniors it is actually even does not matter tbh, as they are just expected to have generic best SWE skills

but you know the market... sort of expects you to learn the stuff that is in use? popular?

[minor jetty]

Totally agree with your point!

[inland oak]

with having frontend stuff of course you are already quite diversified but still backend stuff should not be neglected xD

anyway, learning FastAPI u will just increase the pool of jobs you can land on, easier to get hired, so direct advantage for you

[minor jetty]

Agreed! Thank you so much @inland oak I'll start with FastAPI then

[wooden ruin]

wow i didn't know fastapi was primarily focused on serving JSON data almost out-of the box. that's cool

[candid dust]

how memory efficient is FastAPI in general? o.o

Hi I am using flask python I want to use a form but only during a get request will this work? There is no post request. if request.method == 'GET' and form.validate():

Thanks for the help

[wild tendon]

No need of this anymmore

[novel stream]

I'm not a Flask guy but if the request object is similar with the Django one, that would be correct

[dawn island]

hello,
I am using django , when I use locahost instead of 127.0.0.1: another project is running

how to resolve this, can someone please help

[novel stream]

Are you running another project on the same port 8000? If yes you can use something like python manage.py runserver 8001 so that Django will run in a different port and you can access by 127.0.0.1:8001

[dawn island]

no sir

[novel stream]

This here might help you then https://stackoverflow.com/a/54769851/3716354 if you're getting this error you must have something running on the same port, need to figure out what. Depending on what the process is you can kill it. Another thing you can check is if your /etc/hosts file (if you're on Linux) have the 127.0.0.1 pointing to localhost

❯ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost

[brittle trail]

Hi, I'm using Django for build a quiz app with REST API. But I want to generate the question into JSON response and use it later. Endpoint of generateSoal() is http://127.0.0.1:8000/generate-soal and the endpoint of simpanJawaban() is http://127.0.0.1:8000/simpan-jawaban. How to access the JSON response from generateSoal() into simpanJawaban()?

[novel stream]

I don't think it's a good idea to call and endpoint inside the other. I've seen this before and it can became a nightmare. What you can do is to extract the business logic into a separate function and reuse it where you need

[brittle trail]

Did you have an example or reference links?

[novel stream]

Not at hand, but I think that what you wanna do is move the code from generateSoal line 6-19 to a separate function. Also, create a specific serializer for the Soul model. Then that separate function would return something like return SoulSerializer(query, many=True). With that you would be able to use this function in both generateSoal and simpanJawaban

[wraith dagger]

Am I able to .add(*items) to m2m in transaction.atomic() block?

[novel stream]

I've never tried it but I can't see why it wouldn't work

[wraith dagger]

The problem is .add() execute a query, but we can't execute any queries inside atomic block

[novel stream]

Can't we? I might be totally wrong but for me the purpose of the atomic block is to make sure that all the DB operations are fully executed. If any fail it will roll back. Nothing related to avoid queries to be executed 🤔

[wraith dagger]

Partly you are right. But as I said add() execute additional query means it's creates own transaction (I might be wrong, I'm not as good in DB terms)

[prisma thistle]

Hello, is anyone familiar with leafletJS ?

Or what channel should i ask for people familiar with it?

A JS library or an SDK

[novel stream]

Ah I see. So it might create another transaction. Well I don't see it as a problem. Let's say you have something like:

with transaction.atomic():
  # some operations
  my_instance.m2m.add(*items)
  # more db operations

I mean, you have more DB operations than just the .add I think a block of code like that wouldn't be wrong. However if the atomic is just for the .add then I think you don't need it because like you said it already creates its own transaction

[wraith dagger]

I need to add relation for over than 500k objects along with the creation and setting other relation

[wraith dagger]

If you wanna process maps for data analysis you can try to ask ppl there #data-science-and-ml

[prisma thistle]

Yess it’s about maps generally, thanks

[novel stream]

That sounds like a lot 😬 Maybe you could use some chunk approach? Or if this is the amount of objects you need to work, a better approach would be to do it async (celery, huey)

[wraith dagger]

It's a tree structure with 2 self relations, so I can't do it async

[faint mountain]

Hey i recently create a site with django, gunicorn and apache, everything works fine except that ANYBODY on the internet can use my server as a proxy to access any site.
Who had thought that when you configure it as a proxy it will serve all proxy requests, not just the configured ones

    ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8000/
    ProxyPassReverse /  http://127.0.0.1:8000/

[faint mountain]

ok if had

ProxyRequests on

Hi guys has anyone ever done a whatsapp Webhook using whatsapi api and flask with heroku

Maybe any tutorial you could share with me

I used heyoo to send WhatsApp messages but receiving I haven't figured how to do it

[zealous island]

I have this element but the problem is the id constantly changes when you refresh the page is there a way by getting the element by the title?

how do you get an element by the title tag

[golden bone]

What do you mean "get" exactly... using xpath? Can you show some code of your current attempt?

[zealous island]

from signal import pause
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver=webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("link")
loginbtn=driver.find_element_by_id("loginbtn")
anmeldename=driver.find_element_by_id("username")
kennwort=driver.find_element_by_id("password")
anmeldename.send_keys("blank")
kennwort.send_keys("blank")
loginbtn.click()
fortsetzen=driver.find_element_by_class_name("btn-primary")
fortsetzen.click()

I figgured out I could just use the class name to get the button element

and by get I mean find the element

[frank shoal]

I currently have this scss loop defining a bunch of rules on a data- attr. Is there a better way to do this? I tried using calc(attr(data-u-height) * 1rem); but firefox said it was invalid.

@for $height from 1 through 52 {
  .elevation-device[data-u-height="#{$height}"] {
    // add twice the height -1 to compensate for the border
    height: calc($cell-height * $height + ($height - 1) * 2px);
  }
}

[scarlet kite]

Isn't a way to change, in FastAPI, the OAuth2 flow from Username at the form to Email variable?

[frank shoal]

it's just a variable name. You can display it to the users however you like.

just add a comment to the api notes that username is email

[round shard]

how can I run a python file in a website? I want like a terminal in a website so that the user cannot see the code, makes sense?

cause if not I have to share the code or use repl it to make users run the file and its a bit messy/uncomfortable

[round shard]

how exactly?

[loud pike]

yo

who can help me deploy my flask app via gunicorn

[astral pagoda]

It probably is thanks I will test it

[ionic raft]

How you implement is going to depend on the web dev framework you are using. What framework are you using?

[inland oak]

Technically this kind of logic is not really tied to framework

we first think about it at the abstract level of code blocks / pseudo code stuff

frameworks are all kind of same in the end, and they just introduce slightly different implementation details to such business logic stuff

this kind of logic could be not even tied to Programming Language details

it is nice to read Code Complete by McConnel book. he explains the difference about it too

Although it is book more concentrated only on Code Architecture I think so far 🤔 U would need several more books to get all aspects of Software development cycle, perhaps System Analysis and Design book by Alan Dennis should be enough to complete knowledge to a minimal sufficient picture

But all of it would be teaching you about how to develop from the most abstract to implementation details

to make the picture complete you would also need to learn a different stuff how to program best from implementation details / bottom refacrorized to higher level stuff

That would require Unit testing Khorikov -> Test Driven Development By Kent Beck -> and perhaps Refactoring by Martin Fowler?

Ergh. Time to add all extra appeared stuff to my diagram of learning which i drawing for all this stuff

hi,
I have a locally working app with a custom User model, which has a foreign key in it to UserTier model. When I try to run it in my CI/CD, when python manage.py makemigrations goes off, I get:
django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: users_usertier
I don't have any migrations in my repo.
It is a very important project for me and I can't seem to find anything helpful.
Anyone knows what could help? 🥺

[inland oak]

Are you having messed up Python Packages discovery which you are resolving by adding folders to PYTHONPATH?

anyway, try to make sure you have added app with UserTier to django settings authorized applications

[wet hinge]

authorized applications you mean just whether I added it to apps?

[inland oak]

The easiest way to detect what is wrong with your code, just git clone the repo from zero and try to achieve makemigrations in it
it should help you to identify steps needed to be added to CI CD

[wet hinge]

I have fully working entire project with AWS and stuff, but on the current local database. If I try to delete database and migrations and get it migrated from 0, i get that error

[wet hinge]

thats what CI/CD did basically, and the error is on makemigrations exactly

I didn't upload database or migrations folder to git, so it starts from 0

[inland oak]

Perhaps you did not clean database completely

you do know that Django also keeps in database performed migrations data?

a special table just about performed migrations?

drop database and create it again, it will ensure better database cleaning (don't forget to backup needed data)

[wet hinge]

yeye, that's exactly when the error appears

locally it works cause it was built gradually

but when I remove the database and migrations folder

and try to create a new, clean one

I try to run makemigrations and that's what I get:
django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: users_usertier

[inland oak]

shrugs, not enough info to identify what you do wrong

[wet hinge]

users.model.py:

class UserTier(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=250)

class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
    # casual UserManager from Django Docs

class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
    username = models.CharField(max_length=30, unique=True)
    user_tier = models.ForeignKey(
        UserTier, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, related_name="users"
    )
    objects = UserManager()

    USERNAME_FIELD = "username"

and in settings:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    "django.contrib.admin",
    "django.contrib.auth",
    "django.contrib.contenttypes",
    "django.contrib.sessions",
    "django.contrib.messages",
    "django.contrib.staticfiles",
    "rest_framework",
    "rest_framework.authtoken",
    "dj_rest_auth",
    "users",
    "images",
]

# Custom user model configuration
AUTH_USER_MODEL = "users.User"

[wet hinge]

I think that's the only stuff related to custom User Model in my project (besides custom admin panels)

[wet hinge]

✅ fixed... I was trying to access UserTier objects in my apps.py in on_ready() function
thank you for your time, I appreciate it, you helped me in looking into weird places 🙂

[native tide]

If I'm creating a social network website with Django, would it be a good idea to use Django's built in User model(which makes users show up directly in the admin interface) or should users be added to some different database table?

[wooden ruin]

you should probably just make a new user model that inherits off of the builtin user model. it has alot of properties that you'll likely want to keep track of in your users

just be sure to point django to your new user model using AUTH_USER_MODEL in settings

also keep in mind you can specify any model to show up in the admin panel, not just users

[native tide]

is there a benefit to do that instead of using the builtin user model?

[wooden ruin]

well, the builtin user model probably wouldn't contain all the fields you want to manage in your users.

[native tide]

Ah, yeah

Let's say I have a Django model which has a bunch of countries in it(it has country names, abbreviations, and id's.)
Now let's say I'm creating a user registration form(using UserCreationForm) where I want the users to be able to pick one of the countries from my earlier model to sign up.
How would I go about implementing that?

it would probably have:

country = forms.ChoiceField

but what would the arguments here be?

my country model is this, fyi:

class Country(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField(max_length=50)
    abbr = models.TextField(max_length=3)
    id = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

I found the answer myself. I used:

    country = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Country.objects.all())

But if someone else has a better solution please feel free to share!

Got a bit of an issue with Flask, hope someone can clear this up for me.
Im trying to display a webcam feed through openCV on the screen, which worked fine while i was calling the function when it was on index.html .

Now that i've separated the pages with a help of a navbar, i cannot get the webcam to show up.

I have the route set as

@app.route('/webcam')
def get_webcam():
    return(render_template('webcam.html', camera=camera))

@app.route('/webcam_display')
def webcam_display():
    return Response(generate_frames_webcam(),mimetype='multipart/x-mixed-replace; boundary=frame')

and in the HTML

    <div>
        <img src="{{ url_for('webcam_display') }}" width="50%"/>
    </div>

The navbar is set up as

topbar = Navbar(
                View('ANPR', 'index'),
                View('Webcam', 'get_webcam'),
                View('Oak-D', 'get_oakcam'),
                )
nav = Nav()
nav.register_element('top', topbar)
nav.init_app(app)

and then rendered with

<body>
    {% extends "bootstrap/base.html" %}
    {% block navbar %}
    {{nav.top.render()}}
    {% endblock %}
    <h1>ANPR</h1>
    <form method="post" action="{{ url_for('tasks') }}">
        <input type="submit" value="Stop/Start Webcam" name="webcam" />
    </form>
    <div>
        <img src="{{ url_for('webcam_display') }}" width="50%"/>
    </div>
</body>

in the body.

Seems like navbar might be blocking everything else from showing for some reason, since on the index page i added some h1/h2 tags that do not show up.

Have anyone tried to add file uploads with tus to fastapi? I'd appreciate some examples or at least tips

[minor sedge]

where would it be possible to fully learn javascript ?

gg / java ??

[sturdy drift]

its a server....

I want to get started with web development, what would be a good place to start?

I've heard HTML or CSS being recommended, any good resources to work with those?

[frank shoal]

mdn has some good (community written) turotials

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/

[novel stream]

True, here you will find plenty of resource for HTML/CSS/JS e also Django

[native tide]

I see, thanks a ton

I've tried getting into some HTML before, I always stumble but I guess that is partly because of my lack of patience while approaching it

[novel stream]

I think the best approach is to get to see it already working. Try following some tutorials like the Django official tutorial or the DjangoGirls one (I mean, if you're interested in Django for web development)

[native tide]

Django seems like a fine choice, and of course I asked here because I'm interested in web development in relation to using Python, but I was thinking more about Flask

[novel stream]

I'm not a Flask guy but it's also a good choice and a very used one. You will be able to find plenty of resources online (blogposts, YouTube, etc)

[eternal blade]

Is it recommended to use drf with session authentication with a react frontend?
since the documentation says this
https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#sessionauthentication

This authentication scheme uses Django's default session backend for authentication. Session authentication is appropriate for AJAX clients that are running in the same session context as your website.
What about applications not running on the "same session context"

[indigo kettle]

basically if your django and react are served on the same url

[eternal blade]

hmm...what if it's not?
is there still a possibility to use session auth?

I have two permission class. IsAuthorGroup will check if the user belongs from the author group and IsOwnerOrReadOnly will restrict the user to performing post and delete if he is not the object's owner.

But the problem is anyone from IsAuthorGroup performing post and delete request event he isn't own of the object.

How to restrict anyone from IsAuthorGroup performing post and delete request if he isn't owner of the object?

here is my code:

    def has_permission(self, request, view):
        if request.user and request.user.groups.filter(name='AuthorGroup'):
            return True
        return False

    def has_object_permission(self, request, view, obj):
        if request.method in permissions.SAFE_METHODS:
            return True

        # Write permissions are only allowed to the owner of the blog.
        return obj.author == request.user or request.user.is_superuser 



class BlogViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):

    queryset = Blog.objects.all()
    serializer_class = BlogSerializer
    pagination_class = BlogPagination
    lookup_field = 'blog_slug'
    permission_classes = [IsOwnerOrReadOnly & IsAuthorGroup]```

when I do an authorization decorator, do I have to call the function inside of it? or it's just enough to return it?

Hi,
I know I can access user profiles by using their ids if I use int:user_id in my urls file. But how can I access user profiles using the profile names? I tried <user_username> but that didn't work

you need to specify the type. try <str:username>

yeah slug works as well

class Country(models.Model):

When I run migrations on this, I get the following error:

ValueError: Field 'id' expected a number but got 'default'.

any ideas on a fix?

[dusk totem]

Try removing default='default'

[thick oak]

I know this is broad but is there any suggestions for fixes when I get key errors on production but not in development?

[dusk totem]

Catch it in exception maybe?

It really depends on how you want to handle errors. You could have it stop the script entirely or just return a default or just return some sort of error message somehow or log it

[thick oak]

hmm could try that

Yeah I've got it logging from website into a discord channel but again that just throws key errors. I'll have a further look this morning though and try some exception catching

[thick oak]

Managed to narrow it down to an API call that is throwing a key error in production but not in dev fyi

hello, I am pretty new to coding but am good at python skill wise. I want to make a program that automatically lists an item from Gumtree to Facebook Marketplace - would this be possible and will it be hard? I have no experience making large web projects liek these. Only puzzles.

[cobalt pine]

[frank shoal]

You can probably do it be chaining cond | reject | map | default

Does the python way not work, x if y else z

[mystic wyvern]

Let me see the form.py

[cobalt pine]

Ok, I changed it to:

class User(AbstractUser):
    country = models.ForeignKey(Country, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

But I still get this error when I try to migrate:

ValueError: Field 'id' expected a number but got 'default'.

[mystic wyvern]

ok you want the author field to only contain the logged in user, right ?

[plush frigate]

how to show this image on my web page? src is changes so i cant just copy it

[golden bone]

It changes because you're not supposed to steal someone else's hosting. Put it on imgur or something

Or whatever server is hosting your html

[plush frigate]

when i open url https://manga.site/title/v8/c47?page=11 there is that image, but on https://manga.site/title/v8/c47?page=12 there is another

i want on my web page button that loads these image from that place

[golden bone]

If manga.site isn't your page, then forget it.

those images are their assets, not yours

[pallid hill]

Can someone please try to help me here.

[ember heron]

Yes

[bleak adder]

Hi ! Can i have some assistance with flask?

[bleak adder]

So basicaly i have two buttons, when clicked, both call backend functions
So when i click the first button, a backend function is called and stores its data in a global variable
When the second button is pressed, it calls a function that uses the global variable, but this doesnt work because the two functions must be called at the same time.
How can i fix this ?

[orchid hamlet]

can you send code

@bleak adder can you send the code?
