Comparing Django project structure to ruby on rails
After some years developing web apps using ruby on rails, I decided to give Django a try, however it seems that I'm missing something, which is how to structure large project, or any project in general. For example, in rails we have a models folder which contains model classes, each in a separate ruby file, a controllers folder which contains controller classes, again each in a separate ruby file. However, in Django it split the project into independent apps, which can be installed independently in other Django project, each app has a models.py file which contains all the models classes, a views.py file which contain all the views functions. But then how to group functions in views like rails? That is one controller per each model. In general how to structure my project when it contains one large app that can't be separated into multiple independent apps? I want for example to have a view index function for each model, but how to do this if all functions are in one file? If my project is about selling cars for example. I should have index function that maps to /cars, another index function to map to /users, etc... I searched … -

Why parentheses are not used with function in html template when model method is called in django?
I would like to know while in html templating process why model method does not use parentheses like normally we use it in views and it is being called direcly like varible e.g. class Main(models.Model): value=models.BigIntegerField(null=True, blank=True) #Model field variable = 505 # model variable def fun(self): return True # model function (method) The html template {% extends 'base.html' %} {% block content %} {{user.main.value}} it's value <br> {{user.main.fun}} it's function (why no parentheses here like user.main.fun()) <br> {{user.main.variable}} it's variable <br> {% endblock %} If this question is not good then tell me to delete but please do not down vote.Thank You. -

Django LocMemCache not caching data
I've got my LocMemCache set up in my settings.py: 'default': { 'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache', 'TIMEOUT': None, }, I have then built a function decorator: from django.core.cache import cache def cache_function(func): def cache_result(*args, **kwargs): cache_key = '{},{}'.format( func.__name__, hashlib.sha256('{},{},{}'.format(func.__name__, args, kwargs).encode()).hexdigest(), ) try: result = cache.get(cache_key) if result is not None: print('function is cached') return result result = func(*args, **kwargs) timeout = 60 cache.set(cache_key, result, timeout) return result except Exception as exc: print('CACHE ERROR:') print(exc) return func(*args, **kwargs) return cache_result Then I've got my function: @cache_function def function_to_test(): return 'this is a test value' However, it seems like the cache is never used, no matter how many times I call the function. I know this because my print statement ('function is cached') is never printed. I even put a debugger there to see what happens, and it just seems like the cache is empty What am I doing wrong? -

Django how to perform a query to get all occourences where object 1 has a foreign key on object 2 and a certain object 2 has a property
Okay, so I've got a question about performing queries. So, I've got one object called Job. A Job as a foreign key on StatusUpdate, meaning a single job can have many StatusUpdates. Basically, I need to get all Jobs with a LAST StatusUpdate with a certain property. I know that I can easily get all Jobs that have any StatusUpdate with a certain property like this: Job.objects.all().filter(statusupdate__status="Certain Property") But this will get jobs that have any StatusUpdate with status of certain property. I want to get only jobs with a last StatusUpdate with a status of certain property. Is it possible to do this with a single query? I read the through the Django documentation and couldn't find anything. Thank you! Diego -
How to make a queryset with a value coming from an javascript function?
When the user clicks a checkbox, the value will be sent to a javascript function that will take the value and check if has any occurrence in the database asynchronously, but I don't know if it is possible in Django, I have seen serializers, but I don't think it will work because it's not only catching data from the database, but making a query. There is a way of doing this? requisite = requisite.objects.filter(requisite__discipline__id=33) the code above will retrieve the data I want, but I need to get this number from the code below <input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" value="{{ discipline.id }}" id="flexCheckDefault{{ discipline.name }}" onclick="checkRequisite(this.defaultValue)"> -
How do I create a view in Django to display only the images with a specific taggit tag?
I have followed this tutorial to create a website. I have expanded my page beyond the tutorial and am now trying to create a view that only uses the images of the tag 'fav'. I am trying to use the tag as a sort of favourite button, and the only display those images in a bootstrap carousel. All I have, to go by, is this different view that only uses the images of the tag you click on. class PhotoTagListView(PhotoListView): template_name = 'photoapp/taglist.html' def get_tag(self): return self.kwargs.get('tag') def get_queryset(self): return self.model.objects.filter(tags__slug=self.get_tag()) def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) context["tag"] = self.get_tag() return context But since I don't really understand it, it isn't really any help. How do I create a view for a specific tag? Or is there even a solution to this problem entirely feasible in html or js? Tried to modify the other view, but since I don't know enough about django and python it naturally didn't work. My modification: class CarouselView(PhotoListView): template_name = 'photoapp/carousel.html' def get_queryset(self): return self.model.objects.filter(tags__slug='fav') def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) context["tag"] = 'fav' return context -
Django - Overwriting parent model's Meta
I am using the package django-polymorphic-tree inside of a Django application. The PolymorphicMPTTModel abstract model from said package has the following Meta: class PolymorphicMPTTModel(MPTTModel, PolymorphicModel, metaclass=PolymorphicMPTTModelBase): """ The base class for all nodes; a mapping of an URL to content (e.g. a HTML page, text file, blog, etc..) """ # ... fields class Meta: abstract = True ordering = ( "tree_id", "lft", ) base_manager_name = "objects" Here's a model I wrote that inherits from it: class MyNodeModel(PolymorphicMPTTModel): parent = PolymorphicTreeForeignKey( "self", blank=True, null=True, related_name="children", on_delete=models.CASCADE, ) # ... fields class Meta: ordering = ( "tree_id", "-lft", ) As you can see, I'm trying to overwrite the parent's Meta.ordering attribute. However, if I do this inside of an instance of MyNodeModel: print(self.Meta.ordering) it prints: ('tree_id', 'lft') which is the parent's value for that field. It appears as though the child class is failing to override that property. Why does this happen? -
Flutter WEB sending file to Django Rest Framework Backend
So in my flutter front end (WEB). I am using Image_picker and then image_cropper packages to obtain a file.

How to PREVENT AWS EB from running migration

Django project to show list of categories as list then the category url displays all posts in that category
I am working on a Django project where I would like to display list of all categories on the homepage as links.

Django Serializer - how to check if a ListField is valid?
I'm currently working on a practice social media app. In this app, current users can invite their friends by email to join the app (specifically, joining a 'channel' of the app, like Discord). I'm working on unit tests to ensure that emails are valid. I'm working with serializers for the first time and I'm trying to move past some issues I've been having. Functionality: the user enters in a friend's email address. For the purposes of this test, the email address needs to be at least 6 characters long. So something like "a@a.co" (6 char) would be acceptable, but "a@a.c" (5 char) would not be accepted. Users can enter up to 10 emails at a time. What I'm currently struggling with is what function to use for "is_valid"? I know Django forms has something for this, but I haven't found a satisfactory method for serializers. Here is what's currently in serializers.py. from django.core.validators import MinValueValidator, MaxValueValidator from rest.framework.fields import ListField from rest.framework import serializers class EmailList(ListField): """Will validate the email input""" def to_internal_value(self, data): # if the EmailList is not valid, then a ValidationError should be raised--here's where I'm wondering what to put raise serializers.ValidationError({"invalid_email": "Email is invalid, please recheck".}) …
