We have landed on Digital Ocean for a couple of SaaS that are entering into expanded testing. Over the past 2 months, Digital Ocean are really looking solid.
And the focus is scalable production. For personal projects Heroku for super free, Linode for deeper work. Digital Ocean does start cheap at $12/month for the app platform. Django + Docker FTW!

Hey guys, any idea why this code:

import pandas as pd, ast
from flask import Flask
from flask_restful import Resource, Api, reqparse

app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)

class Players(Resource):
    def get(self):
        data = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
        data = data.to_dict()
        return {'data': data}, 200

api.add_resource(Players, '/players')

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

At URL http://127.0.0.1:5000/players is returning {"message": "The browser (or proxy) sent a request that this server could not understand."}?

How do i update an object value without using form? I just want it to be a one liner in the code.

you need to add the redirect url in the view file.

        if form.is_valid():
                form.save()
                return redirect("url")```

# twin plinth no fucking answer that helps me

First, this is a volunteer community. Patience is your friend here. Second, Stack Overflow certainly isn't known for being forgiving. However, it has been a most useful tool for me on my journey of developing in Django. A lot of good people have shared the benefit of their experience to help those less experienced in learning how to solve development problems.

As for a toggle button you could start with the raw html/css code: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_switch.asp

From there you can work out how to add the Bootstrap flavour to it. Remember that Bootstrap is a css framework. It's built on css but designed to make it easier to use. In my experience, when I've encountered things that Bootstrap doesn't do I return to the css basics and work up a solution from there.

W3Schools offers free online tutorials, references and exercises in all the major languages of the web. Covering popular subjects like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, SQL, Java, and many, many more.

hi,
i am first time working on app
i wanted to ask if flask is only for web development??

#

Question: What's the preferred way to automatically create a profile for a user after they sign up for your website using the built-in user?

Are signals the only way to achieve this or can I somehow use the save() method?

native tide
#

Follow-up question:
I have different Profile and User(built-in version) models. Is it possible to create a form that creates a Profile as well as the User?

In the previous question I asked if we could create the User first, and then automatically create a Profile. Now I'm wondering if I can create a Profile and automatically create Users off of it.

I want to do this because the Profile model has a country, and I'd like each new user to be assigned a country instantly. When I create a User and connect it to Profile using signals, there is nothing in the usercreationform that would alter the "country" field in the Profile, so the Profile that is created has no country on it. And I don't want that, I want users to have a country as soon as they sign up.

Hello, is it possible to run this in my python script?

#

socket.on('scoreUpdate', (data)=>{
console.log(data)
})

inland oak
#

how to say that... technically no, but actually yes

unknown.png
#

You python could be exposing socket to connect

#

to which you could attach your javascript code

#

and web sockets are meant to be used in this way with python, because we have no options to use javascript at client side

Hello,
Im using Django for Backend and I have a QuerySet which i want to mutate with other records. This works fine but when I use .filter() again on the queryset mutated the values are not mutated anymore

# get the records where the gültig von is smaller equal than the given date
        records_all = self.__class__.objects.filter(gueltig_von__lte=date).order_by("object_bezugs_id", "bezugs_id",
                                                                                    "erstellt_am",

                                                                                    ) | self.__class__.objects.filter(
            gueltig_von__isnull=True).order_by("object_bezugs_id", "bezugs_id", "erstellt_am")

        records_create = records_all.filter(event="create")

        for create_record in records_create:
            for record in records_all:
                if record.object_bezugs_id == create_record.object_bezugs_id and record.event != "create":
                    for column in self._meta.fields:
                        if column.name not in ["id", "bezugs_id", "object_id", "object_bezugs_id", "erstellt_am",
                                               "event"]:
                            if getattr(record, column.name) is not None and getattr(record, column.name) != "":
                                setattr(create_record, column.name,
                                        getattr(record, column.name))
        print(f"create records: {records_create}")
        records_create = records_create.filter(aktiv=aktiv)
        print(f"filtered records: {records_create}")
        return records_create

I use event sourcing so i want to add up corrections and updates to the create record so its the latest version. then i want to filter but after filtering the updates / latest version isnt their anymore

A quick question

#

Which is better?

#

Django or flask?

rustic sequoia
#

depends on the project, just watch a comparison on youtube

native tide
#

Another question is python good with Web development or learning Another language like js is better?

rustic sequoia
#

if you feel comfortable with python, just use it ^^

native tide
#

Sorry for my noob questions

rustic sequoia
#

yeah, you probably can do all the important backend things like in js. for a good professional website you probably will need still need js for the frontend tho

Concerning Selenium in python:

How do I wait for an element to be clickable (EC.element_to_be_clickable)? I'm using that one, but it bombs out "because another element <.....> obscures it." How do I handle this situation? Thanks

el_submit = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#submitButton').click() # Submit button click: success

We must wait here, as the results window goes modal while waiting for data and some element "obscures" the "next_page" button I wish to click.

WebDriverWait(driver, 45).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#nextPage')) # dies here rather than waiting
driver.find_element((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#nextPage')).click()

#

Also, the "next_page" button does exist even before the submit click, so I must wait until it "activates"

ionic raft
# twin plinth and that, that didn't work

Or, you haven't worked it out yet. Bootstrap is based on css. It would appear that you have an opportunity to work out how to use css to obtain the result you're looking for.
I wasn't giving you a solution, I was suggesting a direction. As such, what I wrote was not an answer on a silver platter for you. It was a clue, based on experience that has worked for me, that was intended to help you.

Software engineering is about solving problems...taking big problems, refining the big problem into lots of little problems, bite sized pieces, that can be solved.

So, no, the suggested direction for research was never going to work without you going down a suggested path and solving the problem yourself. What it was intended to do was to support you in your learning experience. If I take the time to research your problem to develop a solution I've robbed you developing for yourself one of the most important skills in software engineering...that of solving problems.

Good luck. Trust me when I say I've been where you are...in that place where you discover just how hard software engineering is. It's not for everyone. Persevering with a problem over hours, or days, and overcoming any frustration that comes with banging your head on a logic nut is really what separates those who want to be a developer from those who become a developer.

ionic raft
# stable bear can i host multiple web applications with one linode?

Without load balancing, with the most simple of implementations, I believe that each Linode can be considered a container that through gunicorn/apache/etc can serve up one web app per Linode. At least, that's how I was using Linode. Disclaimer: I am no expert, and my breadth of deployments have been fairly narrow. I've not gotten into Kubernetes (yet) or load balancing.

#

the travel to this code architecture is a bit of a long journey though

#

testing makes life better with minimal learning curve much earlier. Testing synergies and becomes more efficient with good architecture and factorization skills though.

#

efficient way to develop / and efficiently developed code speed up continued development speed by yet another magnitude 🤔

#

Code Complete by McConnel is a nice book to get started with most of generic basic stuff

# wicked oracle can anyone fork this and add mobile nav bar?, when user clicks on hamburger icon...

I would be surprised if anyone takes you up on the offer of forking the repo and solving this for you.
The reaction you're more likely to experience in this Discord will run along the lines of pointing you in a helpful direction. For example, a css framework (such as Bootstrap and Tailwinds) are built to be mobile first, and come with pre-built css classes to accomplish your stated objective.

And so, I could solve this problem for you. But then I'd be robbing you of your learning opportunity in this. I am called to suggest that I've accomplished your stated objective with Bootstrap v4 and v5. As for cool animation, I've found that cool is very subjective.

In short, Bootstrap will provide ability to allow for responsive websites, where when the viewport is changed (browser resolution) a hamburger will automatically appear. You can see how I've implemented this in the two projects linked in my profile.

Hey there, I'm trying to build a Fastapi + Nuxt/Vue js app and getting a 422 error unprocessable entity error only in my post request whereas the get, put & delete work well. On /docs the post request is working well im not sure why my form isnt working for post, this is my config for method in vue and route on fastapi. Anychance someone has a clue why this is occuring i would really appreciate the advice

#

What's the detail of the 422?

#

I think you made the item_id in post as a form parameter instead of a path parameter

glad drum
#

just says failed to load resource at createError from console log

frank shoal
#

use /{item_id} as the path

glad drum
#

ok and then change that on vue as well?

frank shoal
#

no, you're using that url in vue

#

wait...

#

Why are you passing the item_id to post?

#

post will create the item id, so it shouldn't have an id yet

glad drum
#

i thought it would be necessary if i want to be able to let the user create a custom id

frank shoal
#

Why would that be needed?

#

if they know the id, you assume it's put

glad drum
#

so you reckon i can just remove item_id from the post as a whole?

frank shoal
#

yes

ok thank you very much for the help im giving it a go now

Hey guys, I'm building a CRUD with PHP and JS for a fantasy NBA game I run with a few friends, and I want a ticking timer for every player we're biding
I succesfully implemented it, but it only appears in the first "bid"

unknown.png
#

Here's the code:

unknown.png
#

How can I make it work with every loop?

native tide
#

I've written this code but it doesn't work. Any tips on how to fix it?

class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    country = models.ForeignKey(Country, on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True, null=True)
    bio = models.TextField(max_length=200)

    friends = models.ManyToManyField("Profile", blank=True)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        created = not self
        super(Profile, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
        if created:
            UserBalance.objects.create(user=self, country=self.country)

class UserBalance(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=False)
    currency = models.OneToOneField(Currency, blank=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    Balance = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
#

What I'm trying to do is automatically create a UserBalance object every time a Profile is created.

versed python

#

then the if created is wrong

#

i havent used django for a long time but i dont think that is the way to determine if the object is being inserted or updated

native tide
#

should I use py if self: instead of py if created:

versed python
#

neither, see the link above ^

native tide
#

I changed the save() to

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        created = self._state.adding
        super(Profile, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
        if created:
            UserBalance.objects.create(user=self, country=self.country)

and now I'm getting this error:

ValueError at /register/
Cannot assign "<Profile: Testuser100>": "UserBalance.user" must be a "User" instance.
#

Ok, I changed the last line to

UserBalance.objects.create(user=self.user
``` and now I don't get that error but instead I get
```py
UserBalance() got an unexpected keyword argument 'country'

which is correct since UserBalance model doesn't have a country field

#

It has a currency field instead, which is connected to a country field. I shared the code of UserBalance above. Any ideas how to connect it to the country via the currency?

versed python
#

you can always make a query there to fetch the details

#

but other than that i have no idea

i dont really remember how relations in django works

So I recently started working on a small team with 2 senior developers. The app is built in Django. Up until now in my career, I've been putting all JS into external files and importing them into my Django template. My new coworkers like to out jQuery and vanilla JS right into the template, stating that that's the norm for Django. Is this correct? It feels so wrong but I'm not sure how to argue against it, or is this indeed the common place practice in Django?

Anyone familiar with html and bootstrap rows/grid system? I made a really simple example using 3 sentences inside of a <p> tag: https://md37i6.csb.app/ My goal is to put each sentence on a new row (newline).

I'd rather not use html tags like <br> as I know there is a way to do this using the bootstrap grid system, but I'm not knowledgable enough in it.

Urgh. Can't you just use a paint

#

to show what you wish as end result

#

Draw a SIMPLE picture what you wish to get

with lines and boxes xD

Look, here is final result lol each text+button is on its own line

inland oak
# mellow canopy

u wish the text just to start each time from new line, and button being at the end of a text?

mellow canopy
#

yes, but within the <p></p> tag

#

I don't want to break it using divs or <br>

inland oak
# mellow canopy I don't want to break it using divs or <br>

the first thought is actually kind of wrong. Because you are supposed to mark your text with divs or alternative tags. Html is main purpose... to mark the elements for placement.

It is still possible to have your layout without divs though 🤔

#

a moment

sleek tapir
inland oak
#

how buttons are supposed to be aligned to text?

#

and draw the desired result

#

actually wait, no

#

as it is meant literally only for this xD

mellow canopy
inland oak
#

Why with bootstrap?

#

it should be done with regular CSS! SCSS!

mellow canopy
#

LOL

inland oak
#

Why to limit yourself into bootstrap limitations?

mellow canopy
#

It's an assignment, it cannot be that hard with bootstrap it seems like very simple task

inland oak
#

well, it explains it better

#

do you have in your assigment crealy written

#

what you need to get as end result?

mellow canopy
#

I just need text and buttons on their own line, look here button1 and button2 are on the same line:

inland oak
#

this is how you are supposed to do within your current version

#

you are supposed to use divs

#

this is the correct way to mark stuff for placement

#

just use multiple rows, instead of columns from example

mellow canopy
#

Yeah that's what i've been reading cannot figure it out, because divs will just break out of the <p></p> lol

#

your saying to just use divs anyways

inland oak
#

you are not supposed to use <p> as external wrapping

#

why you have it

#

replace it with another div

mellow canopy
#

Ok

inland oak
#

nested bootstrap div container code works perfectly fine

unknown.png
#

it would be still better be done in regular CSS ;b

#

bootstrap is an easy way with limitations

#

regular HTML+SCSS is usually a way to implement any desires 🤔

#

quite comprehensive and easy to write syntax

#

a bit messy without frontend frameworks though

mellow canopy
#

I guess this is how you do it in bootstrap? no clue lol

inland oak
#

🤦‍♂️

#

where is container?

#

where are rows?

mellow canopy
#

its wrapped inside <div class="form-group row m-0"> </div>

inland oak
#

as in class"row"

#

you wish to have them placed one after each other

#

below the previous ones

#

Row is a row

#

horizonal thing

#

Column is a vertical thing

mellow canopy
#

correct

inland oak
#

you wrote Col, = columns

#

you wish to have them from left to right

#

you need to use "row" in order to have from top to bottom

mellow canopy
#

I would like to POST Username and Password using python code, how would I go about and do that?

#

but get 401 response

#

And when entering correct information I never get any POST method in "network" tab in developer tools... shouldn't there be a POST method?

mellow canopy
#

@inland oak Thanks, I guess all we had to do was turn the <p></p> wrapper into <div></div>, the text+buttons can be <p></p> as it naturally starts on a newline.

#

within the <div> wrapper

inland oak
#

to split the text into... what is the word for that>

#

</p>

#

only for this and for nothing more

#

regular object placing should be done with divs, which should be preferably specified more clearly by using key words article /menu and dozens of other words exist there as alternative for div (their main purpose to make your markdown just more readable + allowing to external tools(including search engines) to parse your web site easier. Kind of SEO depends on which tags you use 🤔 )

#

in lazy way we just use divs though

#

not clear enough description what u wish to get. Provide an example step by step

Hey guys I'm trying to create a file uploader thing where the page is literally just a drag and drop. then when things are dragged dropped each file gets assigned a table
I'm not sure where to start
i saw the form plugin thing but other than that not sure

This is in wordpress btw!

unknown.png
inland oak
#

there are javascript events for drag and drop stuff

agile gyro
inland oak
#

then putting it all into frontend framework, and voila. It will work

agile gyro
#

Can u use js in wordpress

inland oak
#

no idea. as far as I know wordpress is a set of premade solutions

#

you either have it there or not

#

if not, then it should involve a bloody dirty magic/ PHP and etc, and considering that it is wordpress, it should be all quite painfull xD

agile gyro
#

I saw u can code in php but thats about it

#

Hey,Can someone recommend the best way to learn pyhton?

inland oak
#

but making wordpress... i just have no idea how

agile gyro
inland oak
#

and you would have to know javascrip for that too

#

because such stuff is impossible without it

agile gyro
#

The thing is most of them are demos

inland oak
#

and do I remember correctly that Wordpress is Jquery? 🤔

#

imaging coding in JQuery

#

it will be such a pain in the ass xD

agile gyro
#

I have no clue i cant lie to you

inland oak
#

probably that's optional

#

I mean that's PHP and wordpress

agile gyro
#

A lot of the plugins are useful only if u pay

inland oak
#

highly likely details of javascript reliaization are optional how to be made

#

so it can be vanilla, Jquery or even statically linked frontend framework

#

but you know what? Doing it just in frontend framework is surely easier than inventing wordpress plugin I think xD

#

having it easier in wordpress is easier only if there is already premade solution for that

inland oak
#

for custom solutions, you are supposed to go into web frameworks

agile gyro
#

Just need a temporary solution

#

Im pretty sure something out there that i need exists

    allies = models.ManyToManyField(Country, symmetrical=True, related_name='allies')

This code isn't working. How can I get a countries' allies and enemies(which are also countries) in this model?

indigo kettle
#

maybe it makes more sense to put enemies and allies directly on the Country model?

#

otherwise I don't think you can use Symmetrical=True like this

native tide
#

yeah

#

^ I changed the symmetrical=True to False and it works now.

But what if I want countries to declare other countries as enemy/ally immediately when the other countries declare them as enemy/ally? symmetrical=False doesn't help with that

class Enemy(models.Model):
    country_1 = models.ForeignKey(Country, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    country_2 = models.ForeignKey(Country, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
#

you'd also want some constraints for ensuring you don't add two rows with the same countries

native tide

but you can do it manually of course

since 1 and 2 are essentially the same

native tide

this is my code atm:

    country_2 = models.ForeignKey(Country, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='allied_country')
    declaration_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    class Meta:
        unique_together = [['country_1', 'country_2']]
indigo kettle
#

I think you can do it with checkconstraints in django, these create constraints in the database

native tide
# 
class Ally(models.Model):
    country_1 = models.ForeignKey(Country, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    country_2 = models.ForeignKey(Country, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='allied_country')

            models.UniqueConstraint(fields=['country_1', 'country_2'], name='unique allies')
        ]

it's kind of tricky

class Ally(models.Model):
    country_1 = models.ForeignKey(Country, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    country_2 = models.ForeignKey(Country, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='allied_country')
    declaration_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    class Meta:
        constraints = [
            models.UniqueConstraint(Greatest('country_1', 'country_2'), Least('country_1', 'country_2'), name='unique_allies')
        ]
#

I think this works

#

The order of country_1, country_2 need to match to violate the uniqueness constraint we want

native tide
#

It didn't work :/

#

It didn't work for country_1 = a, country_2 = a

#

It works for country_1=b, country_2=a though

#

I'll try to google, but it's tough to formulate what exactly I'm looking for on google

#

I guess I could instead just add constraints on the front end so that people don't make countries allies that are already allies, and leave the database with just an Ally model without the other constraints

indigo kettle
#

something like this but check that country_1 != country_2

#

CheckConstraint(check=~models.Q(country_1=F('country_2'), name='countries_not_equal')

native tide

Ok, I'll try that out. Thanks a bunch for your help

is images in the same folder as your html?

#

it's in the images folder which is with the html

#

but like i've said, i've tried putting it in the same folder

#

i've tried putting it on every level

frank shoal
#

are you viewing it as a file or via http?

young scarab
#

i'm not sure. im new to this. using flask and viewing it in my browser

#

so http

frank shoal
#

if it's flask, it'll be slightly different.

#

Do you have a static folder?

young scarab
#

no, my html is in templates and then theres a folder in templates called images

frank shoal
#

you need to put non-templates in a static folder.

#

i.e. ```
static/
images/
logo.jpg
templates/
index.html
app.py

young scarab
#

this image is for the base template though, it's the logo image

frank shoal
#

then use ```html
<img src="static/images/logo.jpg" />

young scarab
#

alright ill try that structure and see if it does anything

#

that fixed it, thanks

if you want, you can set the static_path in the Flask constructor to an empty string to remove the static/ prefix

I just want to say words of appreciation to FastAPI

#

reading its docs, and it is freaking amazing (i already saw Flask and Django before)

#

unbelieable but they counted everything to auto generate documentation on the fly. Path params, Query params, Data body params. And everything looks so Pythonic
So uniform simple in syntax for everything... my level of happiness increases with each page of documentation

#

A love from first sight (Speaking from the point of REST API development)

frank shoal
#

The only thing that's lacking is the openapi client generation

#

the documentation is good. It's the process that is lacking.

#

e.g. the typescript interfaces all ignore any inheritance defined in the models

#

I don't know if that's a openapi limitation or what

inland oak

according to docs it is supposed to work

because for a front, by default you are having only html/css/vanilla js in flask. Which ugly as hell combination for frontend.

Anyone made of flask clone or something similar to start.me or iGoogle?

i have the following django database queries:

seeders = self.peers.filter(peer_bytes_left__exact=0).count()
leechers = self.peers.filter(peer_bytes_left__gt=0).count()

is there any way to optimise this down to a single query?

#

logically, the leechers line is the same as:
self.peers.count() - self.peers.filter(peer_bytes_left__exact=0).count()
since either query is simply the inversion of the other

#

i assume that the database (internally) knows the answer to the complementary query when it performs either one, since it knows the number of rows it has to iterate over and also the number of rows that satisfied the condition, so it's a simple subtraction to find the inverse

#

but i don't know if there's a way to get django to wrestle that information out of the database

inland oak
#

but at the same time Alembic looks cool to use for situation when we don't have ORM at all

frank shoal
#

My solution was to not do anything that requires a database migration

inland oak
#

and just setting up everything by own hand is a bit of a pain in the ass. I would definitely not recommend it as first framework.
I think better to get used to Django ecosystem first, and then jumping to FastAPI.

#

as you would already know a lot of things how can be done in a good way

frank shoal
#

at least fastapi makes no assumptions on your knowledge of type annotations, which it employs heavy usage of

inland oak
#

Well. FastAPI has some of its own features where it could flare better than Django.

#

Django ORM is still sync for example xD

frank shoal
#

like dependency injection?

#

I don't actually know what features django supports

inland oak
#

I will do my pet projects fully in FastAPI nevertheless. Because it is too often asked in jobs.

Idk but I have written this before :

Use union()
1-is used to combine the result sets of two or more selecet statments in SQL
2-it removes any duplicate rows between the various select statments
3-should only have the same fieldsa and data type(objects,tuple,lists,etc...) when performing the union method ex.(e.objects.all().values_list("first_name").union(e2.objects.all().values_list("this should equal the first pramter it would be (first_name)")))

i don't think that's what i'm after

Question: I'm trying to create a registrationform where users can select the country and region for their profiles.
But I want them to only be able to select their region depending on what country they selected, I don't want them to be able to select a region which is not in the country they've entered, and I want this in one form.

This is what I tried:

class UserProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
    country = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Country.objects.all())
    region = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Region.objects.filter(country=country))
    class Meta:

        fields = ('country', 'region', 'bio')

but it doesn't work, it simply shows all the regions in my database regardless of what country the user has chosen. How can I let users make the choice dependent on the country they've selected?

Hello,
is there a way to give each App in a Django Project different allowed hosts?

inland oak
#

in FastAPI this process is quite simple. I don't think in Django it would be that different

plain seal
#

ok thx

inland oak
#

there is only slight question how to extract necessary data from app.config of a current app

#

or you would have to go through decorator way

#

slight research is required to find out which way is easier to implement

#

i think it should be middleware, because it will automatically support all Class based views

#

decorator would be not easily supporting it. Though class based decorators are possible too as far as I know. 🤔

can somone tell me how to fix this issue?

#

no point, fastapi has a good testing ui

inland oak
#

Also it would be really nice to move logic out of view layer

swift wren
#

wdym move logic out of view

inland oak
inland oak
#

The point is you are having a lot of your logic in a code where it should be only accepting input and rendering back answer

#

the code for your action should be in a class that process your action. Which you can test independently part by part

#

and then reuse at any necessary view end points

swift wren
#

you could have saved your time by reading my code and understanding that your recommendation is respectfully irrelevant

inland oak
#

it would bring you the most value in a short time

swift wren
#

alot of "logic" has been abstracted to external functions which process information. my endpoint, simply assembles information to dispatch to another endpoint

#

also ive not read any programming books, i dont find value in them.

inland oak
swift wren
#

literally no piece of literature contains information that isnt accessible through a quick google search.

#

but this is really irrelevant. I appreciate your response, but I'd like to hear other's view on the situation

inland oak
#

Books provide structurized information about a subject. Once you found a good one, you don't need to seek next clues to learn next piece of a material from same field
Books guide you to teach you, and mention all resources what to learn next
You can't google something, if you don't know what to google.

swift wren
#

wrong guy to give this advice to but again, i appreciate the response.

In my Flask website, when I am logged into an account on my www domain, it does not automatically login to the account on the non www domain. What is the reason for this, and is there a way to fix this?

inland oak
#

It would redirect from WWW to @

#

You will have redirection at once when u visit any page

stable bear
#

can this be done without any sort of redirecting, where both www and non www have the same login?

inland oak
#

DNS setting will ensure u a logging in users only in one version

inland oak
#

DNS solution will fix your problem better

#

Anyone has modern resources for multitenancy options in Django?

I am currently working on a monolith in a Docker container with PostgreSQL.

stable bear
inland oak
# stable bear can a user override a redirect?

no 🤔 I mean yes he actually can as it is stuff technically happening at client side (though I can't imagine how to hack DNS xD), but you will not care about it due to your ability to lock your CORS headers freely only to one domain (which is still doing nothing), but you can also restrict access at your reverse proxy servers for listening only for requests from certain domains, then user will not be able to request alternative domained resources for sure

stable bear
#

so i should just remove the www/non www from my nginx conf?

inland oak
#

and have DNS settings redirecting from other versions to the chosen one

#

it is DNS job after all

stable bear
#

previously i asked in this channel whether it is possible for one vps to have multiple websites hosted but i got the reply that it is not possible.

#

however, i have searched the web and it seems possible

inland oak
#

i already did it for 5+ web sites

stable bear
#

ok thanks that would save money

inland oak
#

the principle is simple for that

#

just having DNS settings from different domains pointing to same IP address of the VPS

#

Nginx should be listening to specific domains and redirecting to the right web site based on incoming domain

#

it can be done at regular linux VPS and nginx as reverse proxy (or apache for that matter)

stable bear
#

when i run the code, should it be run on different ports for different websites?

inland oak
#

I did it in a more complicated matter with k8s though, and Ingress-nginx

inland oak
#

ah, yes. I get it. yeah

stable bear
#

ok

inland oak
#

host them all on different ports

#

and let Nginx regulate from which incoming domain to which localhost+port to direct request

stable bear
#

does nginx always listen on port 80, and then direct traffic to 127.0.0.1:xxxx ?

inland oak
#

usually people often use port 80 for http and 443 for https
and 80 http port is usually just redirected to 443, which has SSL certificates attached for encrypted connection

#

it can redirect traffic at any of your choice

inland oak
#

the other popular way is to host static files with nginx

#

we in python always host our static files with nginx (css, js files) usually. if we need to do that

#

because all alternatives are worse

#

well, usually people host with static files fully scaled frontend in react/vue/js/angular though

#

Nginx can be also used in a limited fashion as a Load Balancer

#

which means redirecting traffic not to one resource, but distributing traffic between serveral of them, but it is preffered to use Haproxy for that

inland oak
#

quite multipurpose tool in conclusion

#

read free O'reilly book with recipes how to use it.

django.shortcuts.render 

render(request, template_name, context=None, content_type=None, status=None, using=None)```
Combines a given template with a given context dictionary and returns an [`HttpResponse`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpResponse "django.http.HttpResponse") object with that rendered text.

Django does not provide a shortcut function which returns a [`TemplateResponse`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/template-response/#django.template.response.TemplateResponse "django.template.response.TemplateResponse") because the constructor of [`TemplateResponse`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/template-response/#django.template.response.TemplateResponse "django.template.response.TemplateResponse") offers the same level of convenience as [`render()`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/http/shortcuts/#django.shortcuts.render "django.shortcuts.render").

Its just a shortcut to a HttpResponse function and passing it to a template

# wicked oracle Anyone can help me with Django? I'm confused at this moment.. so I want to store...

Remember that there are three layers. The data model (models.py) is where you organize how data is stored. The application layer (views.py) you will use to build the templates. And the front-end layer will include forms.py. You can verify phone number for a user by checking for existing data when the template (application) queries the database. You can verify the format for the phone number, or require it to be entered, through forms.py (the front end).

ionic raft
# silver sphinx For full stack projects how what advice would you give on planning your project?...

If you have a solid mental grasp of your vision for the data and application layer design, and can see how you want data presentation, data entry, etc to look, then you can flesh out the design language for the front-end, and then re-use through the app. I tend to set the front-end UX down as I'm building the first app, build out the remaining apps etc., keeping the UX fairly consistent once I've set key aspects. Having those decisions made will help you quickly configure template pages as you are building out the app.
That said, if you plan on different presentation styles within the project that would be different.

I asked this question, and got this response. However, even after searching the web as to what this means, I still do not understand it. Could someone please explain this concept further, and briefly outline its implementation in a flask webapp?

unknown.png
inland oak
#

the point is, when you authorize user, you can stick to them sticky cookie

#

which would be having inside dictionary whatever information you wish to have about this user

#

for example a setting which is endpoint user is allowed to request

#

when you receive sticky cookie back at your endpoint, you verify with your secret_key, that it is a valid one, and read permissions

stable bear
#

I think that I will better understand this with an example.
Let's say that I build a desktop app and send a post request from it to an api, and it returns the relevant output.
Without the concept of authorisation of users, if the rule was that requests can only be sent from this desktop app and not from any other service, how would it work?
How can I tell the API to only accept requests if it has a special key that is only sent from the desktop app?

ahh did not see the previous text

gusty hedge
jaunty ice
#

no, thank you for showing me this resource.

worn aurora
#

while your at it you should also look at docker

jaunty ice
#

so when i deploy my app, you recommend to run it in a docker container?

#

and not directly on my VPS?

worn aurora
#

your vps runs the docker, that runs your container
so on any machine which has a docker u can run your app on it

frank shoal
#

If you want something similar to git where you can push to deploy, I suggest heroku

gusty hedge
#

it depends on several variables. I can suggest kubernetes for someone who uses only containers. And then I can suggest serverless to someone who uses kubernetes

#

but it mostly depends on your app needs, your skills, time, budget, etc

frank shoal
#

with heroku, it can either build a container to run or setup the environment automatically if you have a requirements.txt, setup.py, or pyproject.toml files.

#

then you git push heroku main -f

jaunty ice
#

ohh, so its like a git addon?

gusty hedge
#

I can suggest cloudflare workers too 😂

frank shoal
#

no, it's just a remote

#

git remote add heroku <whatever>

inland oak
#

I think i would heavily recommend against it

#

it is a bad learning experience i think

frank shoal
#

cloudflare or heroku?

inland oak
#

heroku

worn aurora
#

pushing directly to production ooof living on the edge nice

inland oak
#

better try using DigitalOcean 😉

#

it has technically same capabilities

#

with app deployment.

#

or more exactly go for Docker image deployment in app deployment xD

#

or just go for VPS deployment that uses docker 🤔 i think it will be greatest learning option

gusty hedge
#

I tried recently (DO apps). Not 100% convinced but I'm pretty sure it will get better

frank shoal
#

If you need a database, DO charges extra for that

VPS it is then 😉

frank shoal
#

heroku gives you a free (limited) database, but you can unlock more rows for $8/mo

#

cheapest DO has is $16

your app would just be a separate git server.

#

so i just need to run a git version on my server, to which i can push?

frank shoal
#

it's like pushing your code to github, gitlab, and bitbucket

jaunty ice
#

you got any resource i can read?

frank shoal
#

if you use DO App Platform, you won't really get "admin" access.

jaunty ice
#

that VPS is already present

#

i cant switch platform

frank shoal
#

So you're using a VPS.

jaunty ice
#

yes.

frank shoal
#

That just means you'll have to do a few things manually.

#

I assume your distro is using systemd?

jaunty ice
#

its a windows VPS

#

dont blame me, it was not involved in the decision making

frank shoal
#

are you using a load-balancer?

jaunty ice
#

there is only a single server

frank shoal
#

a load balancer is still useful as a reverse proxy

#

and ssl terminator

jaunty ice
#

so you mean running nginx on that VPS?

#

and then connect my flask app to nginx

frank shoal
jaunty ice
#

this app wont need any scaling

frank shoal
#

Anyway

#

Do you have IIS installed?

jaunty ice
#

how do i check that?

frank shoal
#

just check if you can get to port 80

#

Should also be shown in the windows server admin center

#

what windows version are you running?

jaunty ice
#

its windows 10 i assume

frank shoal
#

it's probably not windows 10

#

It's probably windows server 2016 or 2022

#

Does this window show up when you start up?

unknown.png
#

If you don't know how to manage a server, I suggest switching over to the app platform

#

or getting someone else to deploy it

jaunty ice
jaunty ice
frank shoal
#

That program is from microsoft.

jaunty ice
#

i have to work with that vps

frank shoal
#

In that case, google is your friend.

#

and maybe youtube tutorials

#

btw, if you want something you can git push to deploy, you'll need to use a CI/CD solution like github-actions, gitlab-runner, or jenkins

#

that will need to either connect to your VPS or mount the volume hosting your app, update it, then restart the service.

#

except you're on windows

gusty hedge
#

I used windows server once for flask but DB was a M$ sql server because a proprietary software only supported that engine...

frank shoal
#

Isn't that what odbc is for?

gusty hedge
#

I remember that lib

#

🤔

frank shoal
#

It was a hassle to configure

gusty hedge
#

does it run on linux too?

frank shoal
#

I configured it once to connect to some database with credentials that were given to me only to later learn that I didn't have access to the network that could connect to it.

#

Yes, it runs on linux

#

as a separate apt package. You need that package to use it in python

gusty hedge
#

I can´t recall, it was probably apache on windows vs. odbc on linux decision

frank shoal
#

apache has a database?

gusty hedge
#

no but having flask on windows implied (at the time) having apache on windows

#

I do recall windows as server 😂

frank shoal
#

I guess if you weren't using windows server, you weren't using IIS

gusty hedge
#

apache web serve I meant

frank shoal
#

or IIS wasn't around yet?

yes, it was around but we used apache

if you want to use nginx, use nginx

jaunty ice
#

my plan was to use some WSGI server which i connect to nginx

#

does that sound foolish?

frank shoal
#

waitress?

jaunty ice
#

possibly

#

havent read into WSGI's for windows

frank shoal
#

It's easier to link them on linux because of sockets

jaunty ice
#

so its recommended to use FastCGI?

frank shoal
#

cgi != wsgi

I deploy Django apps through the Digital Ocean App platform, with apps connected to github repos. The Digital Ocean App platform is fantastic. The app has a dockerfile. I push a change to the repo, and any DO apps sharing the same repo automatically rebuild the docker container. I've been using DO for a couple of months now. Super impressed.

More recently, I've shifted to using the DO Spaces (their S3 solution) to store static files. This has allowed me to shift away from even storing static files on the app. There may be different schools of thought on that, but I'm finding this experiment to be working very well so far.

hi i am having to do integrations and i need to change a form into a flask wtf form

#

i am an ML engineer so this is not my area of expertise

#

here is the input ```html
<input id="checkbox_major{{ loop.index }}" type="checkbox" class="custom-checkbox" value="" />

Hey which python framework is more widely used at companies, Django or Fastapi? I’m new to all this, so any help would be appreciated.

severe brook
#

regarding my problem:
I have a list of say 200 items for these checkboxes, list type str and that needs to be displayed and whatever checkbox is selected the str needs to be passed back to the server on submit

Yes I finally solved the issue! It came down to a database model typo….of course haha

CDN makes sure content is delivered to user from closest server to the country in Content Delivery Network of caching servers

ionic raft
# inland oak and DO Spaces can have easily attached CDN, to speed up access by manitude

Yes. 100%. It was VERY easy to setup, even including the cert baked in. Very cheap, seamless setup and is serving up static content LIKE A CHAMP.
It's actually cheaper, as I'd need another container (for nginx) for x2 the cost, while a Space is crazy cheap - and I'm sharing one space for multiple apps. So the cost saving is 50% for each app on the same code base. This literally halves the app hosting cost regardless of the number of apps, AND reduces the complexity of setup for additional apps on the same repo.

DO estimates the CDN option is 70% faster, plus availability and redundancy! All you need for the CDN is your own domain, and you go for a url such as cdn.yoururl.com

DO is literally THE host of choice for us right now!

I'm going to automate our operational workflows and build a virtual business...global virtual business with no physical business costs!

#

That will save a huge operational overhead.

#

And I'm already coding workflows with Django...what I really need to get worked out is celery or something like it. Waiting for someone to do that right. I'm also curious about DO's "Functions" platform though...thinking there may be some scheduling bots I could use for workflow

Is it possible for a django backend to set a cookie when a POST request is sent by a react frontend?

#

The set cookie header is there but the browser is not setting it

#

I assume it is because samesite is set to lax?

#

I can set samesite to none but thatll require an ssl connection

#

the cookies are being set when I send a post request using postman and when using the interface rest framework provides, it just doesnt work when using react

check your browser networking settings

#

they should show your errors

#

debug it client side

#

while checking server side log in debug mode

these are the response headers

with an exclamation mark

uh there are no errors?

Hello, I am using fastapi and I have a post endpoint for user signup and login. I've used pydantic base class for typing the arguments. class has username and password fields only. May I know how do I test this endpoint through postman API? Like where do I add these parameters in postman API?

I think you just map out the key and value of the request in the body of Postman

I have three simple questions related to Django.

1:
Could my website security be compromised because of me not following Django's best practices and focus completely on speed? (but still doing all safety measures)

2:
When doing choice fields why should I write the short version an then the long one when creating a choice? What is the difference between them? Would it be bad if I just wrote the same word on both?

3:
I have two really big choice fields where in each one all countries are listed, does that slow my code as much as other stuff would? (like loops and ifs/elses)

.com domains aren't free

the price is something like 5$ per year

#

there is free option, a moment

#

already told you > .com domains aren't free

desec.io gives *.dedyn.io as free I think

or something similar

hello... i'm a little confused with where django passes things around... i have a view function that's throwing a missing positional argument. it's there, i'm just not sure at which part i'm supposed to pass it to the function. isn't it the user going to the url that calls the view function associated with that url path?

#

this involves a form to be filled out btw

#

so you can get to the url, and the form will be there, but when you hit submit, that's when the missing argument is thrown. i'm not sure if it has to do with how it's modelled because this is supposed to be a foreign key to create a relationship in the database.

#

I am able to create the base entity, but now i want to create the associations to other tables. for context, it's supposed to be a basic auto shop app, so that i have a customer and then they can have vehicles and repair orders, etc... the tests are passing, so i think my schema is correct, i just need to know how to make the relations stick.

#

apologies if i'm misusing terminology.

#

i also used django.forms.ModelForm

It will be much easier to help if you share some code and the exact error message

I'm currently struggling to understand react.

I have a django site I'm toying with and wanted to add a dropdown box that's disabled and has its options change based on the previous dropdown selection(and enables it)

I'm not so much looking for help with existing code as I'm wondering if their is a recommended resource for beginners in the combo of django and react. Every tutorial I'm finding that doesn't make knowledge assumptions begins by telling me to create a new react application which I will probably toy with soon, but for now I'm just wanting to add a small amount of react to my existing app.

But if you just want to add some menu dynamics, React might be overkill

unkempt vigil

Fair about the small amount of react, poor word choice 😂 I'm just a hobbyist and was just interested is all, react is definitely overkill for what I'm trying to do. Thank you for the tutorial, I'll check it out right now 😃

that's why people just use regular html/css if they aren't fully in frontend
and if they are in frontend, then they go for frontend frameworks. I can recommend Vue.js as being quite simple and nice experience

#

and regular CSS kind of sucks too. SCSS for the win.
