Programmatically render a NextJS page without a server in Node
If you use getServerSideProps() in Next you can render a page by visiting it. E.g. GET http://localhost:3000/mypages/page1 Or if you use getStaticProps() with getStaticPaths(), you can use npm run build to generate the HTML file (e.g. .next/server/pages directory). But what if you don't want to start a server. What if you have a particular page/URL in mind that you want to generate but without starting a server and sending an HTTP GET request to it? This blog post shows a way to do this with a plain Node script. Here's a solution to programmatically render a page: #!/usr/bin/env node import http from "http"; import next from "next"; async function main(uris) { const nextApp = next({}); const nextHandleRequest = nextApp.getRequestHandler(); await nextApp.prepare(); const htmls = Object.fromEntries( await Promise.all( uris.map((uri) => { try { // If it's a fully qualified URL, make it its pathname uri = new URL(uri).pathname; } catch {} return renderPage(nextHandleRequest, uri); }) ) ); console.log(htmls); } async function renderPage(handler, url) { const req = new http.IncomingMessage(null); const res = new http.ServerResponse(req); req.method = "GET"; req.url = url; req.path = url; req.cookies = {}; req.headers = {}; await handler(req, res); if (res.statusCode !== 200) { throw new Error(`${res.statusCode} on … -

Use partial() With Django’s transaction.on_commit() to Avoid Late-Binding Bugs
Django’s transaction.on_commit() allows you to run a function after the current database transaction is committed. This is useful to ensure that actions with external services, like sending emails, don’t run until the relevant data is definitely saved. Although Django’s documentation says that on_commit() takes a “function”, you can pass it any callable. Python’s flexibility means that functions are not the only callable type, but also classes, and other kinds of objects. (Trey Hunner has a great introduction to this concept.) In this post we’ll look at using four techniques for passing callables to on_commit(), and how the last one (with partial) protects against a potential late-binding bug. We’ll also see how you can check for this bug with flake8-bugbear. 1. A Plain Function This is the first techinque covered by the Django documentation, and perhaps the easiest to understand. For example, imagine we were writing a function to grant a user a reward and email them. To send the email after the reward is saved in the database, we can create an inner function, and pass that to transaction.on_commit(): from django.db import transaction ... def grant_reward(amount: Decimal, user: User) -> None: Reward.objects.create(user=user, amount=amount) def notify_user() -> None: send_mail( subject=f"You have … -
Managing complexity and technical debt by releasing Open Source Software
Managing complexity and technical debt by releasing Open Source Software When working on projects for our clients I often try to keep as much code as possible in third party packages; I often even create packages for Django apps even when I do not expect to use the code in more than one project at all. One of those packages (which, in the meantime has been used more than once is django-spark). At first sight it looks like more work to package, document and test the solution. Defining boundaries is also much harder when there are many packages involved – it’s not possible to just add a hack at the right place. You have to define extension points or hooks or you have to design a library which can be used in various ways – there’s not really a way around that when moving code into open source packages. It isn’t the case that this approach necessarily means more work though, neither in the initial project nor during maintenance. Here’s a list of reasons why that is: Once the logical units of functionality are identified separating them is relatively straightforward. Tricky pieces of code can be isolated, documented and tested … -
