How to Use Semantic Versioning for Shared Django Apps
When you are building websites with Django, there is no need to track their software versions. You can just have a stable branch in Git repository and update the production environment whenever it makes sense. However, when you create a Django app or package shared among various websites and maybe with multiple people, it is vital to keep track of the package versions. The Benefits Versioning allows you to identify a specific state of your package and has these benefits: Developers can be aware of which package version works with their websites together flawlessly.You can track which versions had which bugs or certain features when communicating with open-source communities or technical support.In the documentation, you can clearly see which version of the software it is referring to.When fixing bugs of a particular version, developers of the versioned package have a narrower scope of code to check at version control commits.Just from the version number, it's clear if the upgrade will only fix the bugs or if it requires more attention to make your software compatible.When talking to other developers about a particular package, you can clearly state what you are talking about (yes, developers talk about software versions from time … -

A Django Rest Framework Guide
Introduction It is only common for a front-end part of an application to interact with web services and require data from them when creating an application. The interaction is made possible through an application programming interface (API) that acts as a mediator between the client-side of the application that requests the information, and the web services that provide responses in a data format like JSON, which can be interpreted over a variety of devices and languages. This article will guide us on how to precisely build a Rest API as we utilize the Django Rest Framework. Django Rest Framework (DRF) is built on the Django Framework and it is well recommended for web Rest APIs building, due to the flexible and powerful toolkit it provides. REST which is an acronym for representational state transfer is an architectural software style that stipulates designing and development guidelines of the Wide World Web architecture. This tutorial will use the Django Rest Framework to outline a step-by-step guide in creating such an API. Why Django Rest Framework? Django Rest Framework provides a number of advantages that make it preferable to other frameworks for building APIs. To mention but a few, It enhances usability … -

Django tip: Redirecting straight from urls.py
<![CDATA[ Django tip: Redirecting straight from urls.py This might be obvious to you if you are used to working with Class-based Views, but for me this was new and pretty cool. I wanted to redirect one URL to another view and before implementing lean function view with the redirect function, I decided to look if better solution exists.. And indeed it does. Meet RedirectView. You can use it inline in your urls.py to greatly simplify things. It can redirect either based on another route name or to any arbitrary URL. For example here is usage from my project: urlpatterns = [ path('', RedirectView.as_view(pattern_name='profile-detail', permanent=True)), ] These are URL patterns prefixed with account and I wanted the unspecified URL to redirect to account/profile which this accomplishes. The permanent settings dictate whether 301 or 302 is returned as a status code. Instead of pattern_name you can use url attribute and redirect to anywhere. Or you can pass None there to raise status code 410, which means that this URL is no longer available. And last attribute query_string lets us specify whether possible query string in the URL should be kept (True) or removed (False, default value). And that's it! This can be … -

Foss4g NL: afternoon session
(One of my summaries of a talk at the 2021 FOSS4G NL one-day conference). Fast "BGT" dataset import with Docker - Martijn van der Struijk (Note: the BGT (basisregistratie grootschalige topgrafie) is the Dutch database with all buildings, roads, waterways, etcin the whole country, including metadata). You can download the BGT via an API. Previously, you could only download the entire dataset. Now there's also a "delta" endpoint that allows only changes compared to your already-downloaded version. To handle all this, they made a "BGT loader" as a docker image. It can download the initial version + deltas. Output can be into postgis/oracle/SQLserver. They use it themselves to run it every night to update their database. He demoed it by downloading a fresh copy of all the data for the couple of kilometers around the conference location. Easy: just a single "docker" command. Nice. The tool stores the download-metadata (like the optional filter and the ID of the most recent change), so that a quick "download update" command is enough to update the current database contents.
