Django3: Dynamic queryset function allocation performance
i am just experimenting on how to 'dynamically allocate queryset functions' and i would like to know the performance issues i might face later on. My querysets are working perfectly but i am a little skeptical about them. Please have a look at my code: settings.py: ... TODO_PRIORITY = ( ('LOW', 'Low'), ('MEDIUM', 'Medium'), ('HIGH', 'High'), ) ... models.py from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model from django.utils import timezone from .manager import TodoManager from django.conf import settings User = get_user_model() TODO_PRIORITY = getattr(settings, 'TODO_PRIORITY', None) assert TODO_PRIORITY is not None, "Your settings file is missing `TODO_PRIORITY` variable" assert isinstance(TODO_PRIORITY, tuple), "`TODO_PRIORITY` must be a tuple" # Create your models here. class Todo(models.Model): class Meta: ordering = ('start_time',) author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="todos") content = models.TextField(max_length=500, blank=False) start_time = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now) end_time = models.DateTimeField(blank=False) priority = models.CharField(max_length=6, choices=TODO_PRIORITY, default="MEDIUM") timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) objects = TodoManager() @property def todo_id(self): return self.id manager.py from django.db import models from django.utils import timezone from django.conf import settings now = timezone.now() today = now.replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0) tomorrow = today + timezone.timedelta(days=1) TODO_PRIORITY = getattr(settings, 'TODO_PRIORITY', None) assert TODO_PRIORITY is not None, "Your settings file is missing `TODO_PRIORITY` variable." assert isinstance(TODO_PRIORITY, tuple), "`TODO_PRIORITY` must be … -
How can I generate an annotated Django queryset that checks value of across rows within the same model that are also within a specific date range?
Looking for some guidance as I'm not making progress after a week of jumping between the Django documentation for Subqueries, Window functions, and dozens of other SO answers. I'm about 20 different queryset variations in and none are yielding the right results. WHAT I HAVE TimestampedModel(models.Model): # Attributes label = CharField() timestamp = DatetimeField() # Relationships traits = ForeignKey('TraitModel') TraitModel(models.Model): # Attributes value = IntegerField() WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO I would like to annotate a queryset of the TimestampedModel with a count on how many other rows within a certain date range meet a specific threshold. Said in another way, I want to detect whenever for each TimestampedModel object, there is a consecutive dip of trait values for each of the surrounding rows (based on a variable date range around each specific row). A more concrete example: Day 1: 10 traits Day 2: 11 traits Day 3: 10 traits Day 4: 13 traits Day 5: 2 traits Day 6: 3 traits Day 7: 3 traits Day 8: 11 traits ... I want to find if there are at least X consecutive timestamps dipping below Y number of traits. Using the example above, it would detect if there were 3 … -
Update item in django DetailView
I am trying to understand django better and have worked on the following simple app. I am trying to have (recurring) tasks which belong to a certain project. At the top of a task list I will have the task that has not been performed for the longest time. Clicking on a task will mean that it is/has been performed and I want to update the field last_performed to today and then reload the view. So far I have solved it like this. class Project(models.Model): project_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) class Task(models.Model): project = models.ForeignKey(Project, on_delete=models.CASCADE) task_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) last_performed = models.DateField('last time peformed') The template for the task list is <h1>{{ project.project_name }}</h1> <ul> {% for task in project.task_set.all %} <li>{{ task.task_name }} ({{ task.last_performed }}) <a href="{% url 'update' 1 task.task_name %}">Perform</a> </li> {% endfor %} </ul> and the view.py class ProjectView(generic.ListView): template_name = 'tasks/index.html' context_object_name = 'project_list' def get_queryset(self): return Project.objects.all() class TaskView(generic.DetailView): model = Project template_name = 'tasks/detail.html' def update(request, project_id, task_name): project = get_object_or_404(Project, pk=project_id) task = project.task_set.filter(task_name=task_name).first() task.last_performed = timezone.now().today() task.save() return render(request, 'tasks/detail.html', {'project': project}) I have the following patterns urlpatterns = [ path('', views.ProjectView.as_view(), name='index'), path('<int:pk>/', views.TaskView.as_view(), name='detail'), path('<int:pk>/<task_name>/', views.update, name='update'), ] Now my … -

Django - How to get model id when clicked on it
My django application purpose is so simple: user solves algorithm from some source (for instance, Hackerrank), and returns back to my application and sends feedback about result (these algorithms are given to users by me as a task). Now I want to get id of task when clicked on send button after feedback wrote. Because from admin dashboard I could see feedback was written for which task. BTW, I'm getting no such column: algorithmtrackerapp_taskfeedback.task_id error because of thinking task as a foreign key for feedback. Here are my codes: views.py: def index(request): tasks = Task.objects.all().order_by('-task_deadline') task_feedbacks = TaskFeedback.objects.all() form = CreateFeedbackForm() context = { 'tasks': tasks, 'task_feedbacks': task_feedbacks, 'form': form } if request.method == 'POST': form = CreateFeedbackForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): form.save() return render(request, 'index.html', context) models.py: class Task(models.Model): task_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) task_url = models.URLField(max_length=300, blank=True, null=True) task_source = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True) task_deadline = models.DateTimeField() uploaded_by = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) def __str__(self): return self.task_name class TaskFeedback(models.Model): task = models.ForeignKey(Task, on_delete=models.CASCADE) sender = CurrentUserField() is_solved = models.BooleanField(default=False) feedback_content = models.TextField(max_length=500, null=True, blank=True) date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add = True) def __str__(self): return self.feedback_content This is my interface: -

Pytest failing to import third-party packages
So I am stuck with pytest. My setup is a django setup with docker-compose. Anytime I run pytest, I get errors like this Hint: make sure your test modules/packages have valid Python names.

django-plotly-dash serve css files locally
I am trying to serve css files locally in a DjangoDash app using django-plotly-dash. Simpleexample.py app = DjangoDash('SimpleExample', serve_locally=True) app.css.append_css("path_to_css") app.layout = html.Div([ html.Div( className="app-header", children=[ html.Div('Plotly Dash', className="app-header--title") ] ), html.Div( children=html.Div([ html.H5('Overview'), html.Div(''' This is an example of a simple Dash app with local, customized CSS. ''') ]) ) ]) simpleexample.html {% extends 'base.html' %} {% load static %} {% block content %} {% load plotly_dash %} {% plotly_app name='SimpleExample' ratio=0.45 %} </div> {% endblock %} header.css and topography.css are the files as described here: https://dash.plotly.com/external-resources. According to these: https://github.com/GibbsConsulting/django-plotly-dash/issues/121 and https://github.com/GibbsConsulting/django-plotly-dash/issues/133, the issues regarding this should be fixed. However the css styling does not render-- What am I missing here? There was a suggestion in the above github issues that we can use django template rather than iframe. I could not find much documentation on that -- can anyone point me there? Thank you. -
Django Manytomany Autocomplete Lookup

Django search form with multiple filter
in my Django web site I've got a User page where are listed all the items the User added to the database. There's a search form for the user to search into its own items. The problem is that the search form doesn't work. I'm a little bit confused about how to filter through the database because, first I've filtered all the items in order to show only the ones added by the User logged, and then I should filter through these based on the user input. Hope someone could help me, thanks! The 'def look()' is what I tried but doesn't work Views.py class userListView(ListView): model = Info template_name = 'search/user.html' paginate_by = 10 def get_queryset(self): qs = super().get_queryset() qt = qs.filter(utente=self.request.user) return qt def look(self, request, *args, **kwargs): print('FORM POSTED WITH {}'.format(request.POST['cerca'])) srch = request.POST.get('cerca') if srch: sr = Info.objects.filter(srch = Subquery(qt)) if sr: return render (self.request, 'search/user.html', {'sr':sr}) else: return render(self.request, 'search/user.html') else: return render(self.request, 'search/user.html') user template html <div class="add"> <div class="posted"> <div class="head"> <h2> YOUR LIST </h2> <div class="form"> <form method="post" action="{% url 'user' %}"> {%csrf_token%} <input type="text" name="cerca" class= "form-control" placeholder=" Type Album or Band Name..."> <!-- <button type="submit" name="submit">Search</button> --> </form> </div> </div> … -
Django - Foreign key, admin and forms
I’m working on a Django Project (i’m a beginner) and i have a small problem. I have different model with Foreign_Key. And also I have Forms to implements model. My problem, is not to big i think : I want the id + name instance on my admin or on my forms. Actually i have the value in def __str__(self): return self.nom I can’t do return self.id because it’s Int type. example of my models.py class Affaires(models.Model): id = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(primary_key=True) nom = models.CharField(max_length=50) adresse = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True) cp = models.CharField(max_length=5, blank=True, null=True) ville = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True) dessinateur = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(blank=True, null=True) conducteur = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(blank=True, null=True) chefdeprojet = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(blank=True, null=True) cloture = models.IntegerField() class Meta: managed = True db_table = 'affaires' def __str__(self): return self.nom Have you got an idea ? -
Caching on Django Rest Framework GenericViews
I don`t find infos on how caching of Django Rest Framework generic views is configured. Do I have to override the get message and add an own @method_decorator? This feels ungeneric to me. class BlogTags(generics.ListAPIView): queryset = CustomContentBlogTag.objects.all() serializer_class = CustomContentBlogTagSerializer permission_classes = [AllowAny] @method_decorator(cache_page(60 * 60 * 24)) def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs): return super().get(request, *args, **kwargs) Docs I found: Caching: https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/caching/ Generic views: https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/generic-views/ In the generic views docs, there is a sentence, that the queryset is cached somehow. But what, if I want the whole view to be cached? -

How to have 2 different models for user and admin in django and how to manage them?
I am trying to create a social media type website where users can post images, videos, blogs, and meantime they can see other user's postings. I want to have 2 different models. One for users and another only for admins and moderators of the website. Admin and moderators can log in to the admin panel and edit the website. The users can only post certain things, delete their posts or update and add other users as friends/followers. In default option in Django, the users and admins are in the same model/table of a database. So is there any way to separate them? The users will be able to log in to the website. If I create 2 different models for users and admin how will I be able to authenticate the users when they will try to login to the base website where they will post things? How will I be able to set the Request.user? What will be my auth_user_model? I have created 2 different databases for this thing. One is for the admin and user DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2', 'NAME': 'admin', 'USER': '#user', 'PASSWORD': '#password', 'HOST': 'localhost', 'PORT': '5432', }, 'user':{ 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2', 'NAME': 'user', … -

How to load django objects requesting DB once and do searches after
Suppose I have a QuerySet of all db entries: all_db_entries = Entry.objects.all() And then I want to get some specific objects from it by calling get(param=value) (or any other method). The problem is, that In documentation of QuerySet methods it is said: "These methods do not use a cache. Rather, they query the database each time they’re called.". But what I want to achieve is to load all data once (like doing Select *), and only after do some searches on them. I don't want to open a connection to the db every time I call get() in order to avoid a heavy load on it. -

Django query to remove older values grouped by id?
Im trying to remove records from a table that have a duplicate value by their oldest timestamp(s), grouping by ID, so the results would be unique values per ID with the newest unique values per ID/timestamp kept, hopefully the below samples will make sense. sample data: id value timestamp 10 10 9/4/20 17:00 11 17 9/4/20 17:00 21 50 9/4/20 17:00 10 10 9/4/20 16:00 10 10 9/4/20 15:00 10 11 9/4/20 14:00 11 41 9/4/20 16:00 11 41 9/4/20 15:00 21 50 9/4/20 16:00 so id like to remove any values that have a dupliate value with the same id, keeping the newest timestamps, so the above data would become: id value timestamp 10 10 9/4/20 17:00 11 17 9/4/20 17:00 21 50 9/4/20 17:00 10 11 9/4/20 14:00 11 41 9/4/20 16:00 -

Updating and saving dict in django with post requests
I am trying to make a responsive tournament bracket with python/django and using $.post requests to update a tournament dict - which I pass to a 'bracket' template as a dictionary, render, then update by $.posting the passed in variable to a nother view, which updates, saves to server, then redirects to 'bracket' view. I am just starting to make some progress, but having issues with reformatting of the bracket object. Little more detail The bracket is initialized in python (in my views.py) in a bracket view, but I am calling in the view a Tournament class that I got from here. the Tournament class takes a list of players and then generates a dictionary corresponding to the games with the method t.generate_bracket(). I kind of restructure this and then pass it into a bracket view for displaying - I display the restructured array in my template but also pass in the un-restructured one I have little radio buttons that are bound to a $.post 'update_bracket' view. In the JS $.post, I send the array to the view, where I will call a t.play_game() method to update the bracket. Then - instead of a JSON or HTTP response and subsequent …
