Django Rest Framework - AttributeError: Got AttributeError when attempting
I am new to the Django Rest Framework and I try to build an API that lets a user create projects.

Can I access to request object in django @register.assignment_tag
I need to access request object in a custom html tag (Django ver 1.11). This tag is used in a top level html template which is used by almost all other templates in the proyect. My code is this: @register.assignment_tag(takes_context=True) def get_color_style(context): request = context.get('request', None) #<---Here request object is None try: color = ehealth_models.CssSkin.objects.get( clinic=get_current_clinic(request) ).color_scheme except (ehealth_models.CssSkin.DoesNotExist, ValueError): color = 'defaultcolor' less_rule = os.path.join( settings.BASE_DIR, static('less/' + color + '.less')[1:] ) color_values = dict() with open(less_rule, 'r') as f: file_str = f.read() file_str = file_str.replace('\n', '') for item in next(csv.reader([file_str], delimiter=';')): rule_item = next(csv.reader([item], delimiter=':')) if len(rule_item) == 2: color, color_value = None, None for value in rule_item: value = value.replace(' ', '') if value.startswith('@'): color = value.replace('@', '').replace('-', '_') elif value.startswith('#'): color_value = value color_values[color] = color_value return color_values Any idea?

Hashing file within DRF (POST HTTP request)
I'm creating a REST API and I'm not particularly savvy in Django. I'd like to post an uploaded file, but before doing so I'd like to create the sha256 of the file, like so: def sha256sum(filename): h = hashlib.sha256() b = bytearray(128*1024) mv = memoryview(b) with open(filename, 'rb', buffering=0) as f: for n in iter(lambda : f.readinto(mv), 0): h.update(mv[:n]) return h.hexdigest() In order for this to work, I require the actual file (or file path), and not the actual filename. My code in my viewsets.py: def create(self, request): serializer = FileSerializer(data=request.data) f = request.FILES["file"] # just gives the filename print(request.META) if serializer.is_valid(): f = serializer.save() print(f"f: {f}") res_name = sha256sum(f) print(f"res_name: {res_name}") return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED) Any ideas where I am going wrong? -
Starting monitor thread on django
Let me give a bit of context. I'm currently building a simple web page in which, by filling out a form and hitting send, a recon of a target website is ran. The idea is to monitor this targets that I have already scanned. My idea was to make some requests to my database and check which targets have not been found in the last week (if target not scanned in past week, run scan again) For doing this, I was trying to start a thread which, once a day, checks which targets need to be scanned again. The problem is that for doing this, I need to time.sleep my thread for 24 hours, this should not be an issue, but it seems that runserver is being delayed by this sleep time. Here is my monitor method which will be assigned to a thread def start_monitor(): while 1: today = dt.datetime.now() targets = mongo.get_targets() for target in targets: target_last_date = mongo.get_target_last_scan(target) date_diff = target_last_date - today if date_diff.days > 7: print('Running recon again') else: print('Not yet') wait_to_tomorrow() return The thread starts with monitor_thread = threading.Thread(name='Monitor Process', target=monitor.start_monitor()) monitor_thread.setDaemon(True) monitor_thread.start() Where should I start the thread? -

Adding custom user authentication to django-rest-framework-simple-jwt
I want to add user login via One-time Password as well as the usual username/password method in django. In order to do so, either username/password or username/OTP are sent from client to sever and based on the provided pair of fields, I need to return access and refresh token if the user is authenticated. I am using django's simple-jwt. I know that I have to override TokenObtainPairView and TokenObtainSerializer. The problem is, I want to do the field validation part myself. In my views, I override simple-jwt's default view. #views.py class MyTokenObtainPairView(TokenObtainPairView): serializer_class = MyTokenObtainPairSerializer And I override the serializer like below: #serializers.py class MyTokenObtainPairSerializer(TokenObtainPairSerializer): def validate(self, attrs): try: request = self.context["request"] except KeyError: pass try: request_data = json.loads(request.body) if("username" in request_data and "password" in request_data): # default scenario in simple-jwt pass elif("username" in request_data and "otp" in request_data): # validate username/otp manually and return access/token pair if successful pass else: # some fields were missing raise serializers.ValidationError({"username/otp or username/password" : "These fields are required"}) except: pass So, if client passes user credentials in the forms below, I will be able to authenticate it and return token pair. { "username" : "Winston", "password" : "testpass" } or { "username" : … -

How to use a variable from one function in the other function in Django Views

How to dynamically display checkboxes in form?
I want to display checkbox options based on queries from the view. For instance, this is my current code: view: def new_role_task(response, id): ... query = Query.objects.filter(id=id) if response.method == 'POST': form = Form(response.POST) if form.is_valid(): .... return redirect(f'/...') else: form = Form() return render(response, ...html', {'form':form, ...}) form: FAVORITE_COLORS_CHOICES = [ ('blue', 'Blue'), ('green', 'Green'), ('black', 'Black'), ] class Form(forms.Form): checkbox_fields = forms.MultipleChoiceField( required=False, widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple, choices=FAVORITE_COLORS_CHOICES, ) ... Instead of FAVORITE_COLORS_CHOICES, I want to use queries that I would make from the view itself that will be dynamic depending on the params passed to the page. For instance, I come from Rails and within rails, you can accomplish this on the front or backend by doing: Front: <%= collection_check_boxes(:post, :author_ids, Author.all, :id, :attribute) %> This would then display all records from the Author model. Or you can define Author like @authors = Author.where(ids: [1,2,3]) <%= collection_check_boxes(:post, :author_ids, @authors, :id, :attribute) %> This would then display all Authors from the query that match. I assume for Django, all I need to do is get my query into [('')] format and then somehow get that to override the form.py file? What is the method on accomplishing this? I guess there are … -
Failing to Upload JSON Postgresql Database Backup to New Django Heroku App via loaddata
I am upgrading an old app to a new app on Heroku (Python 3.7 Django 2.2). Locally, I was able to successfully upload json database backup fixture and it works great. I've created a new app with no problems, but when I upload the database backup fixture to the new Heroku app the process just ends after several seconds and the data is not uploaded. I am given no errors. This is my command: heroku run python manage.py loaddata db-back1.json The response: Running python manage.py loaddata db-back1.json on ⬢ app-name... up, run.6706 (Free) Shortly, after it just ends the process with no error. Notes and things I've tried: My json fixture file is 300mb, so it's quite large. It took several minutes to upload on my local instance. Do I need to upload to S3 first? I've upgraded the app to standard on heroku and and the url of the database has been updated correctly and is set to the right database, though the response keeps including (Free). To be clear, the Heroku app is working successfully, it just has no data. Further, I was able to get the app and dataload working successfully on my local version. This leads …
