Unable to retrieve Authjs (NextAuth 5) access token server-side in Next.js 15 with Django backend
I'm trying to set up authentication in my Next.js application using NextAuth.js with a Django backend. As Oauth provider i'm use django-oauth-toolkit. The goal is to pass the access token in the Authorization header when making requests to the Django API. I have successfully set up the OAuth2 provider in Auth.js, and I'm able to log in through the Django authentication system. However, when I try to retrieve the access token server-side in my Next.js app (in a server component), I am unable to find it. I try to follow the official tutorial for thirdy parts backends: https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth-example I'm using NextJS 15.1.7 and Authjs (NextAuth.js v5) Here’s the relevant code: src\auth.ts import NextAuth from "next-auth" import "next-auth/jwt" declare module "next-auth" { interface Session { accessToken?: string } } declare module "next-auth/jwt" { interface JWT { accessToken?: string } } const DJANGO_URL = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DJANGO_URL; const NEXTJS_URL = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_NEXTJS_URL; export const { handlers, auth, signIn, signOut } = NextAuth({ providers: [{ id: "django", // signIn("my-provider") and will be part of the callback URL name: "Django", // optional, used on the default login page as the button text. type: "oauth", // or "oauth" for OAuth 2 providers userinfo: `${DJANGO_URL}/api/o/userinfo/`, token: `${DJANGO_URL}/api/o/token/`, wellKnown: `${DJANGO_URL}/api/o/.well-known/openid-configuration/`, … -

if condition with field value don't work in Django template
In models I have: class Book(models.Model): status = models.ForeignKey( 'BookStatus', verbose_name='Status', on_delete=models.RESTRICT, null=True, blank=True, ) and class BookStatus(models.Model): name = models.CharField( max_length=50, unique=True, ) def __str__(self): """String for representing the Model object.""" return self.name In views I have a normal Model DetailView: class BookDetailView(LoginRequiredMixin, generic.DetailView): login_url = '/accounts/login/' model = Book In the template for this detail view I want to display a button only, if book.status is not "vorhanden". I try with this: {% if book.status != 'vorhanden' %} ... {% endif %} but this is also true, if the displayed book has status = vorhanden. I tried the reverse: {% if book.status == 'vorhanden' %} ... {% endif %} but this is not true, even if the displayed book has status = vorhanden What is my mistake? Thanks in advance Matthias -
Get table changes details without using triggers in postgres
I am working on a live dashboard which records changes in database and shows details related to it on the dashboard. Currently to get these live changes I am using a combination of triggers, functions and pg_notify to generate notifications from postgres when some tables have CRUD operations in them. All of this is working okay for now, but based on some suggestions I read online many people do not recommend to use triggers if it is possible, as they are hard to maintain and don't sit best with rest of our code base. So for this reason I want to try updating my trigger based approach with something which fits with my code better and easier to maintain. But I don't know what I can use instead of triggers to get live changes from database. Most triggers in my database are just used to send postgres notification back to my backend where I am handling the changes directly, so if I can get the changes from the database without using triggers I think I can make it work, but I can't figure out how to do so. Also, if you think that trigger based approach is better for my … -
How to fix CSRFToken headers and CORS issues in React + Django website

Buffer channels when there are no consumers
When a channel has no consumers, can I get django to buffer all the messages sent on the channel instead, then after a consumer subscribes can I get it to send all the buffered messages again (to that consumer)? I think I can do it manually with very ugly solutions, involving four global variables and bespoke consumers, but does django provide an easier way to do it? -

How to log all errors related to an API request in Django Rest Framework along with multiple fields in a CSV file?
I want to log any type of error that occurs during an API request in Django Rest Framework into a CSV file, including the error message along with additional details like username, user ip, url, etc. I also want to capture errors that occur before reaching the view (e.g., errors related to JWT). I tried using middleware for this, but the issue was that some responses were not rendered correctly, and even after manually rendering, they still resulted in errors. I would appreciate it if you could suggest a solution. The code below is the middleware I tried to use. I don't have an issue with logging errors that occur inside the view because if I only wanted to log errors within the view, I could use decorators or create a custom APIView. However, what I'm looking for is a way to log any type of error, even those that occur outside the view. class ErrorLogMiddleware: def __init__(self, get_response): self.get_response = get_response self.filename = settings.ERROR_LOG_PATH self.fieldnames = ["Username", "IP", "User Agent", "Date/Time", "Time Interval", "Query", "Message", "URL"] def __call__(self, request): if not exists(self.filename): with open(self.filename, "a", newline="", encoding="utf-8") as csvfile: writer = DictWriter(csvfile, fieldnames=self.fieldnames) writer.writeheader() before = time() try: response … -

Django re_path to catch all URLs except /admin/ not working properly
I'm trying to define a re_path in Django that catches all URLs except those that start with /admin/. My goal is to redirect unknown URLs to a custom view (RedirectView), while ensuring that all admin URLs (including subpaths like /admin/mymodel/something/) are excluded. from django.urls import re_path, path from django.contrib import admin from . import views urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), # Ensure Django admin URLs are handled ] # Catch-all pattern that should exclude /admin/ URLs urlpatterns += [ re_path(r"^.*/(?!admin/$)[^/]+/$", views.RedirectView.as_view(), name="my-view"), ] Issue: URLs like localhost:8000/admin/mymodel/something/ are correctly ignored, which is good. However, single-segment URLs like localhost:8000/something/ are not being matched, even though they should be redirected. -
Django 5 translate route with param
I have troubles to translate properly a route that needs a param. this works fine if the uri has /fr/ or /en/: urlpatterns = [ path(_('CATEGORY'), views.category, name='app-category'), ] But as long as I need to add a param like: urlpatterns = [ path(f"{_('CATEGORY')}/<slug:uuid>", views.category, name='app-category'), ] or urlpatterns = [ path(_('CATEGORY') + "/<slug:uuid>", views.category, name='app-category'), ] The translation stuck with 'category' so the route /fr/categorie/ is not working. _('CATEGORY') = 'categorie' for fr or 'category' for en. Any idea about how to bypass the issue? Thanks -
How to reset specific container child tags from tailwind styles
I am using tailwindcss in django project. Tailwind css by default reset all tags default styles. I am creating a blog page. The blog content is created with ckeditor. I am using {{content|safe}} to load the content as html. The issue arise here. The content default tag styles are not showing so the content is not showing as expected. I have tried with row css to unset the tailwind resets. .reset-default * { all: unset; box-sizing: border-box; } .reset-default p, .reset-default a, .reset-default button { all: unset; } .reset-default a { text-decoration: initial; color: initial; } .reset-default button { background: initial; border: initial; } .btn-custom { padding: 10px 20px; background-color: #3490dc; color: white; border-radius: 5px; } But it didn't work, so I tried with a tailwind css plugin, @tailwindcss/typography. I added prose class in the parent and the styles are added. But for the newlines it also taking margins for blank lines. Is there any way to reset the tags to default. -

Accessing MEDIA_URL & trailing slash redirect
In order to access {{ MEDIA_URL }} from templates, I added + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) to my urlpatterns. Recently I noticed that this breaks the default APPEND_SLASH functionality in Django. I.e. I get a 404 when the trailing is missing, unless I remove + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) from urlpatterns, in which case it correctly redirects to the URL with the trailing slash. I think I'm missing something fundamental, because it seems to me that accessing MEDIA_URL from templates is a basic requirement to display media correctly, without breaking other basic functions in Django. -
Custom GraphQL String Field Parameter
I'm required to sanitize all my inputs coming in via the GraphQL endpoint and remove potential malicious stuff (No the Django build-in mechanism are not enough, it shall be actively removed). As I do not want to add the sanitization for every mutation manually, I thought about creating a custom graphene.String() class called clean_string.String() including nh3.clean() for the sanitization so I must only exchange singe lines: import graphene import nh3 from graphql import StringValueNode, Undefined class String(graphene.String): @classmethod def parse_value(cls, value): if isinstance(value, str): cleaned_value = nh3.clean(value) else: cleaned_value = value return super(String, cls).parse_value(cleaned_value) @staticmethod def parse_literal(ast, _variables=None): if isinstance(ast, StringValueNode): return nh3.clean(ast.value) return Undefined In my schema.py I have then import clean_string class CreateUser(graphene.Mutation): user = graphene.Field(UserType) class Arguments: email = clean_string.String(required=True) password = clean_string.String(required=True) @staticmethod def mutate(_, info, email, password) # sanitized email & password But this does not get called at all. When I have inputs like <img>password</img> and do the sanitation manually the result will be <img>password but with my custom class nothing happens. Does anyone have a clue how to resolve this?

Switching from WSGI to ASGI (Gunicorn + Uvicorn) in Django Production – Site Not Loading
I recently built a Django application using Django Channels for WebSocket support. My asgi.py is set up for handling both HTTP and WebSocket connections, and everything works perfectly in development using Daphne and Uvicorn. In Productin initially, my app was running on Gunicorn (WSGI), but since I need WebSocket support, I switched to Uvicorn (ASGI). To achieve this, I modified my gunicorn.service file to use UvicornWorker instead of the default WSGI worker. I encountered the error: Django can only handle ASGI/HTTP connections, not lifespan. To fix this, I created a custom worker class based on a solution from older Stack Overflow answers: from uvicorn.workers import UvicornWorker class MyUvicornWorker(UvicornWorker): CONFIG_KWARGS = {"lifespan": "off"} Then, I updated my gunicorn.service file: [Unit] Description=gunicorn daemon Requires=gunicorn.socket After=network.target [Service] User=django Group=www-data WorkingDirectory=/home/django/my_project ExecStart=/home/django/my_project/venv/bin/gunicorn \ --limit-request-line 8190 \ --access-logfile /var/log/gunicorn/access.log \ --error-logfile /var/log/gunicorn/error.log \ -k project.uvicorn_worker.MyUvicornWorker \ --workers 3 \ --env DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=project.settings.base \ --bind unix:/run/gunicorn.sock \ --log-level=debug \ project.asgi:application ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target After restarting gunicorn.service, everything appears to be running fine, gunicorn.service and nginx.service are active ping mysite.com is working No errors in /var/log/gunicorn/error.log -
Django: Migrations not detecting changes after manually deleting migration files in production app
What happened: I had an app called app with migrations up to 0012. I mistakenly deleted migration files, including 0001_initial.py. Now, when I run python manage.py makemigrations app, no new migration files are detected, even though I have made changes to the models. This issue is persisting even in a newly created app called comments, where no migration files are being detected either, despite having added new fields to the models. What I’ve tried: I’ve ensured that the app is listed in INSTALLED_APPS. I’ve run python manage.py makemigrations app to generate migration files, but no changes are detected. I can’t drop the database as it is a production environment, and I need to preserve existing posts and data. What I need help with: I need to figure out how to properly reset or re-sync the migrations without losing any production data. For now i have empty migrations folder with init.py innit that doesnt create any migration file. Specifically, how do I: Recreate missing migrations after deleting files manually (i.e., to match the state of the database, which still has migrations applied up to 0012). Ensure that any new apps or changes to models are correctly detected and have corresponding migration …
