ktor - make a post request with different naming of the keys of the JSON in kotlin and django
I want to make a post request with different naming of the JSON keys in Ktor and django. It is not a big deal but I want to follow the convention of naming the vals in Kotlin and django. This is how my user post request body looks in Kotlin/Ktor: @Serializable data class UserPostRequest( val username: String, val email: String, val password: String, val password_check: String ) The problem with this on is the "password_check" val, which is not named by convention Property name 'password_check' should not contain underscores When I try to change it to passwordCheck, make post request, it returns me an error that the passwords do not match. I assumed this is because django expects 'password_check' as a JSON key. -
Django custom middleware doesn't caches sometime
I am trying to make a multi tenant website. For example a.com and b.com websites runs same home.html but it's values changes by it's domain name. But my middleware doesn't caches sometimes. I added my cache_tenant_mw.py and redis in settings.py MIDDLEWARE = [ ... 'rhsuite.cache_middleware.cache_tenant_mw', ] CACHES = { "default": { "BACKEND": "django.core.cache.backends.redis.RedisCache", "LOCATION": "redis://127.0.0.1:6379", } } and added the code which caches tenant values in cache_tenant_mw.py from rhsuite.models import Tenants, Themes, Settings, Metas, Languages from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404 from django.core.cache import cache from rhsuite.helpers.utils import get_metas def cache_tenant_mw(get_response): def middleware(request): response = get_response(request) def get_hostname(request): host = request.get_host().split('.') popped = host.pop() joined = ".".join(host) return joined def get_tenant(request): hostname = get_hostname(request) tenant_obj = get_object_or_404(Tenants, name=hostname) # get metas and languages tenant_obj.metas = get_metas(Metas.objects.filter(meta_able_type="tenants", meta_able_id=tenant_obj.id)) tenant_obj.languages = Languages.objects.filter(id__in=list(tenant_obj.metas['languages'].values())) # cache tenant cache_key = "tenant" cache.set(cache_key, tenant_obj) cached_tenant = cache.get('tenant') # cache tenant settings settings_obj = Settings.objects.filter(tenant_id=tenant_obj.id) settings_key = "settings" cache.set(settings_key, settings_obj) # cache theme theme_obj = Themes.objects.get(tenant_id=cached_tenant.id) theme_key = "theme" cache.set(theme_key, theme_obj) return True get_tenant(request) return response return middleware How can i make it able to make my middleware cache every page everytime? -
What is the minimal setup for a Django Custom User Model?
I would like to install, as recommended, a custom user model for a new project early in the process, to avoid complications in migrating further down the line. But since the project is under development and acts as a testbed, I don't yet know which additional fields and methods I will require. I therefore want to get a custom user model up and running with the minimal required information so that the default registration (signup, login, etc) functions all work. I used the following code class User(AbstractUser): def __str__(self): return self.email I inherited from AbstractUser in order to obtain the default functionality, which seems to work. However, the (default) signup produces the following error in the browser: Manager isn't available; 'auth.User' has been swapped for 'accounts.User' So it seems to me that I must also define a UserManager for the custom User. Now there is much advice available about how to do this if additional functionality is required (eg make the email the username, supply extra fields, and so on). But at this stage, I don't want any additional functionality. That will come later. At this point I simply want to ensure that users can sign up, login, change passwords, … -
Django: Select a valid choice. [..] is not one of the available choices using TextChoices
as per the title says, here's my error upon the process of validation of a form. Select a valid choice. 1 is not one of the available choices. Here's the different pieces of code I have. models.py: class Cat(models.Model): class Sex(models.TextChoices): M = 1, 'Male' F = 2, 'Female' sex = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(choices=Sex.choices, blank=False, null=False) forms.py: class CatForm(forms.ModelForm): # Other fields that I think are useless in this error but maybe I'm missing something for the TextChoice of sex to work out here? fur_color = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=FurColor.objects.get_all(), required=False, widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple) birth_date = forms.DateField(widget = forms.SelectDateWidget(years=range(1980, 2023))) class Meta: model = Cat exclude = ('user','registered_on') The sex field in the form appear as a select list, but when I select either of Male or Female, it doesn't seems to be able to make the link back in the model. Do I need do modify my forms.py to make it work. Or my model is flawed to begin with ? I have Django 4.2.5. Thanks in advance. -
Internationalisation across Django, React and Webcomponents [closed]
I am looking for a solution to unify internationalisation across Django, React and Webcomponents. Currently, we are using Django's gettext, Lit's lit/localize and non yet for React. I would like to unify this to use a single solution across rendering options. So far I came across project-fluent which seems to support all of them separately (django-ftl, react) but is also fractured into various projects and i18next whose Django support is outdated. Can anybody recommend a solution? Any help is appreciated. -
Saved object to db doesn't persist across multiple fixtures in pytest
I everyone, I'm testing my django APIs with pytest and I want to test the login endpoint of my apis. Hence, I need first to create a test user object and save it to db and then try to login with that user credentials and finally test if the response I get is how I expected it to be. I want the test user creation and the login user actions to be in two different fixtures, so that I can eventually call them independently if I need to. This is what I've got so far: @pytest.fixture @pytest.mark.django_db def create_test_user(): def _(): test_user = User.objects.create_user( username="test_user", password="test_password", email="test_email@test.com" ) test_user.save() return test_user return _ @pytest.fixture def login_user(client): def _(user): url = reverse('auth-login') body = { "username": user.username, "password": user.password } response = client.post(url, body, content_type='application/json') cookies_dict = dict((k, v.value) for k, v in response.client.cookies.items()) return response, cookies_dict return _ And then in my test I have: @pytest.mark.django_db def test_login(login_user, create_test_user): # Create a test user on DB test_user = create_test_user() response, cookies = login_user(test_user) # assertions .... The problem here is that when I try to log in with the test user, the user is no longer in db and so … -

RQ Job Terminated Unexpectedly
I have defined the rq task on module task.py as: import django_rq import logging from django.conf import settings import requests log = logging.getLogger(__name__) def req_call(): url = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts' response = requests.get(url) return response @django_rq.job('default') def test_request_call_on_rq_job(): response = req_call() log.warning(f'REQUEST's RESPONSE {response.json()}') When I've offloaded task in another module as: if __name__ == '__main__': # rq job test log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) test_post_request_on_rq_job.delay() I am getting error as: [INFO] *** Listening on default...

code to collectstatic on localhost static folder
I'm not sure what needs to be fixed, it's probably something on my settings.py, my localhost static folder is empty, but my s3 is working fine, picking up all of the collectstatic files that should also end up in my localhost folder (see image).

Is there a django plugin that produces documentation for the template inheritance structure?
The django.contrib.admindocs plugin provides a nice link in the admin view to a variety of documentation around the data models. Is there a similar plugin that provides a diagram or description of how templates inherit from one another and the variables defined?

Summarize Django Queryset where Amount falls into Specific Groups
I'd like to group my transactions by the amount category that they fall into and sum those. I'd love to do this with 1 query, but I can't figure out what this kind of grouping is called. So I'm having a hard time finding any examples. zero_to_twenty = Transactions.objects.filter(amount__lte=0, amount__gt=-20).aggregate(Sum("amount")) twenty_to_fifty = Transactions.objects.filter(amount__lte=-20, amount__gt=-50).aggregate(Sum("amount")) fifty_to_seventy_five = Transactions.objects.filter(amount__lte=-50, amount__gt=-75).aggregate(Sum("amount")) seventy_five_to_one_hundred = Transactions.objects.filter(amount__lte=-75, amount__gt=-100).aggregate( Sum("amount") ) one_hundred_plus = Transactions.objects.filter(amount__lte=-100).aggregate(Sum("amount")) Obviously this is not ideal, but it gets me the correct data. Is it possible to do this with 1 query? -
Expected type 'Sized', got 'TextField' instead
I am working on a small project with Django and i have to validate the size for a text field and then return some data based on the condition. I am using the len() method to check the TextField() size and then return some data. The code is working, but I have an error from the IDE (Pycharm) that says: "Expected type 'Sized', got 'TextField' instead". I spent some time looking in some resources online but i can't find anything related to my issue. Have you deal with this before? Here's the code: ` class Topic(models.Model): """A topic the user is learning about.""" text = models.CharField(max_length=200) date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) def __str__(self): """Return a string representation of the model.""" return self.text class Entry(models.Model): """Something specific learned about a topic.""" topic = models.ForeignKey(Topic, on_delete=models.CASCADE) text = models.TextField() date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) class Meta: verbose_name_plural = 'entries' def __str__(self): """Return a string representation of the model.""" if len(self.text) < 50: return f"{self.text}" return f"{self.text[:50]}..." ` Thank you! -

Django modeladmin fields - display/edit values in MHz, save to database in Hz?
I would like to change an existing django modeladmin view that currently has a field 'frequency_hz' so that users can view the current values in MHz and enter new values in MHz, and have modeladmin convert the value back to Hz when saving to the database. Is there a simple way to do this with modelAdmin - or is there any other suggested way to achieve what I am looking for? So far it looks like modelAdmin has limited capabilities with regards to any sort of calculation performed on a field: I can add a property to my model with the calculated value (frequency_MHz), and add this property to list_display, but it is not editable. It doesn't look like there's a way to enable modelAdmin to treat these calculated properties as writable fields (understandably) I see with modelInlines I can define a submethod that returns the expected value. - however I can't get this to work with modelAdmin - and I believe this suffers a similar limitation to being read only. -
Django Sales Page with Dynamic Customer and Product Data
I'm attempting to create a simple sales form using Django where customer data is displayed at the top of the page, followed by another form below it that allows users to add products. At the bottom, I want to show the total order amount and other calculated details. Essentially, I'm trying to create a product form nested within a sales form, involving data from various other models. I've made several attempts but haven't been able to find similar solutions in forums and tutorials. Could someone provide guidance or ideias on how to do this? -

Sequnce vs TextChoice vs IntegerChoices in Django
Which method is preferable for determining the choices in the `choices` argument when defining the model field in Django? Suppose I have a some model: class Balance(models.Model): reason = models.CharField(choices=...) # or models.IntegerField ... Sequnce: REFILL = 1 CASHBACK = 2 SUBSCRIPTION = 3 ORDER = 4 Reason = ( (REFILL, "Refill"), (CASHBACK, "Cashback"), (SUBSCRIPTION, "Subscription"), (ORDER, "Order"), ) TextChoices: class Reason(TextChoices): REFILL = "refill", "Refill" CASHBACK = "cashback", "Cashback" SUBSCRIPTION = "subscription", "Subscription" ORDER = "order", "Order" IntegerChoices: class Reason(IntegerChoices): REFILL = 1, "Refill" CASHBACK = 2, "Cashback" SUBSCRIPTION = 3, "Subscription" ORDER = 4, "Order" Django documentation does not give preference to any one method. Just showing different ways. I often see examples with a sequence, but what's wrong with using TextChoices or IntegerChoices? In what situations is it better to use these classes? -

Django get pk row if pk is found in queryset filter
I have the current table example : I know how to get the rows where the ID is found in : result_query_1 = models_contacts.objects.filter(company_members_id__icontains= str(pk)+";") result_query_2 = (here I would like the row of the ID used for the previous query if a match is found) But I would like to go one step further and also get the row of the ID in another queryset (depending on the first one matches). For example : If id 1 is found in company_members_id : result_query_1 = row N°2 (addidas) + row N°4 (Jordan) and result_query_2 = row N°1 (Nike) I was thinking of using a for loop but I don't Know how to do this in Django. Maybe there is a simpler / better way to do this ? Thanks
