How to get current page of django rest pagination in List Api View?
How am I, with this code, supposed to get the current page of pagination in Django Rest in a proper way? class LatestEpisodesAPIView(ListAPIView): serializer_class = LatestEpisodeSerializer pagination_class = StandardResultsSetPagination def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs): res = super(LatestEpisodesAPIView, self).get(request, *args, **kwargs) res.render() cache.set("apiepisode_p_" + HOWTOGETCURRENTPAGINATIONPAGE, res, 60*5) return res In this code I wanted to cache the response of the current page for 5 minutes, by which extravagant joining costs could be averted as the cpu operation costs could peak a high of 500ms per request, and this endpoint is frequently used. To that end, the prerequisite is a unique key for each page, which, in common sense, would be the page number. However, inasmuch the impoverished lackluster inherent nature of DRF's official documentation, information about pagination per se is already scarcer than hen's teeth, let alone trying to get the current page. After hours of scouring the length and breadth of DRF docs, and brute-forcing google search, I myself still fail to find any way to accomplish this goal. I believe I could do this by request.query_params.get("page") but this seems really hard-coded and looks more like a hack than a proper way of doing things. Thanks for your help! -
How to associate form with a button outside that form?
Given this field {% bootstrap_field form.photo %} which is a forms.ImageField and the form after, I need to associate the field with the form in a way that when the form is submitted, I get the value in form.photo. <div class="row container h-100"> <div class="col-xl-4"> <div class="card mb-4 mb-xl-0"> <div class="card-body text-center"> <img style="max-width: 50%" alt="Avatar" class="img-account-profile rounded-circle mb-2" src={{ request.user.profile.photo.url }}> {% bootstrap_field form.photo %} </div> </div> </div> <div class="col h-100"> <div class="card shadow-lg"> <div class="card-body p-5"> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> {% csrf_token %} <div class="row"> <span class="col"> {% bootstrap_field form.first_name %} </span> <span class="col"> {% bootstrap_field form.last_name %} </span> <button class="btn btn-success col">Update</button> </div> </form> </div> </div> </div> </div> Currently if a photo is uploaded, it won't show up in the form response because it's not included within <form></form>. I need it to be outside the form because the locations of the form fields and the photo are different. -
Order django queryset by rank of related tags
I'm a little stuck on something. I'm trying to create a cheatsheets app where the user can upvote other users posts. I'm using django-taggit to manage tags and django-vote for voting functionality. class Cheatsheet(VoteModel, models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True) title = models.CharField(max_length=500, null=True, blank=True, default="") description = models.CharField( max_length=500, null=True, blank=True, default="") tags = TaggableManager(blank=True) def __str__(self): return self.title and this is the view: class CheatsheetViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet, VoteMixin): queryset = Cheatsheet.objects.all() serializer_class = CheatsheetSerializer http_method_names = ['get', 'post', 'retrieve', 'put', 'patch', 'delete'] I'm trying to sort cheatsheets based on the tags related to previously upvoted posts. I have managed to obtain a "tag rank" based on the posts that the user has upvoted. For example if the user upvoted a post with the tags "css" and "js" and another post with only the tag "css" user_tag_rank would result in something like this: {"css": 2, "js": 1} I would like to order the posts based on this rank, with tags with the most upvotes first. In this case all posts with the tag "css" would come first, then posts with the tag "js" and then any other posts. The question is how do I go about sorting the posts based on … -
Diango matching a string with a regex field
In django, if we have a regex and look for a rows whose a field is matching with a regex, it will be something like this: MyAudience.objects.filter(email__iregex=f'^({'|'.join(emails)})$') But what if I want to do it the other way? Let's say I have a string: email = 'abc@example.com' and in my model AudienceFilter, I have a field pattern. This column keeps the regex for the model. I want to find with patterns do match my string? How can I do that? AudienceFilter.objects.filter(pattern__?????=email) -

What is the max size of Django cache and is there any chance to extend that?
I'm working on a project where i have to deal with big data (big number of rows) To make the app fast I'm using redis with Django cache , I'm selecting all the data from Table A and saving it to cache as a json array, and later I select, update and delete from cache, I also have other tables B, c, D ... etc Each table could hold more then 3 million rows in the future, probably more and more ... I was wounding if Django cache can handle that? If not what's the maximum size or rows that Django cache can store? Is there a way to extend that, if not what are the order solutions for this problem? I don't want to select data always from database, Because speed does matters here -

How to change where vitejs puts its HTML files?
I want to change where vite produces its HTML files, but I have not been able to figure it out yet. By default, the files for an html page get compiled into these file locations: /dist/src/pages/index.js /dist/src/pages/index.html The locations above are produced by this vite.config.ts: import { defineConfig } from "vite"; import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react"; import path, { resolve } from "path"; import manifest from "./src/manifest"; import makeManifest from "./build-utils/rollup-plugins/make-manifest"; const root = resolve(__dirname, "src"); const pagesDir = resolve(root, "pages"); const assetsDir = resolve(root, "assets"); const outDir = resolve(__dirname, "dist"); // const publicDir = resolve(__dirname, "src", "public"); const publicDir = resolve(__dirname, "src", "copied-to-dist-on-compile"); const isDev = process.env.__DEV__ === "true"; const isProduction = !isDev; export default defineConfig({ resolve: { alias: { "@src": root, "@assets": path.resolve(root, "assets"), "@pages": path.resolve(root, "pages"), "@utils": path.resolve(root, "utils") }, }, plugins: [ react(), makeManifest(manifest), ], publicDir, build: { outDir, assetsDir, minify: isProduction, reportCompressedSize: isProduction, rollupOptions: { input: { devtools: resolve(pagesDir, "devtools", "index.html"), panel: resolve(pagesDir, "panel", "index.html"), content: resolve(pagesDir, "content", "index.ts"), background: resolve(pagesDir, "background", "index.ts"), contentStyle: resolve(pagesDir, "content", "style.scss"), popup: resolve(pagesDir, "popup", "index.html"), newtab: resolve(pagesDir, "newtab", "index.html"), options: resolve(pagesDir, "options", "index.html"), }, watch: { include: ["src/**", "vite.config.ts"], exclude: ["node_modules/**", "src/**/*.spec.ts"], }, output: { entryFileNames: "src/pages/[name]/index.js", chunkFileNames: isDev ? … -
Deployment issues with railway

How to keep calling api until task is completed in reactjs?
I am working on reactjs as frontend, and Django in the backend. I have a time taking task written in django, which ideally takes more time to retrieve values than the stipulated API response time. Therefore, I have made it into a celery task, whose task id I return as an API response. The plan was to make the API call on page load which starts the celery task, and returns the task ID. So, with the task ID, I can keep polling another API to get the task's status, until completed. Once the task is completed, I can ping another API to get the response of the celery task. I thought, I can make the API call, and thenafter run a loop with a sleep, but not sure how to achieve this? import { useEffect, useState } from "react" import axios from "axios" function App() { const [taskId, setTaskId] = useState("") const apiToSpawnTask = () => { axios.get("http://localhost:8000/spawn_task") .then(({data}) => setTaskId(data.task_id)) } const checkTaskStatus = () => { axios.get(`http://localhost:8000/task-id/${taskId}`) .then(({data}) => { // data.status contains the status of the task id }) } const getCompletedTaskResult = () => { axios.get(`http://localhost:8000/get-task-result/${taskId}`) .then(({data}) => { // this data is used in … -
Csv to django model with many-to-many relationship
I have to write a script to load data from a csv file and add the entries to a django database. The only problem I have is that I need to group entries from one column and link it to the id-s, like this: So notice that the same protein id-s map to different protein-domains, but protein_domains can also map to more than one protein, thus I need the many-to-many relationship. Of course, protein id I can only have one, so the data should be like: [protein_id, protein_taxonomy,[protein_domain,protein_domain],protein_length] My django models look like this: class Domains(models.Model): pfam = models.ForeignKey(ProteinFamily, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING) # pfam = models.CharField(max_length=15, null=True, blank=False) description = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=False) start = models.IntegerField(null=False, blank=True) stop = models.IntegerField(null=False, blank=True) def __str__(self): return self.pfam.domain class Protein(models.Model): protein = models.ForeignKey(ProteinId, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING) protein_taxonomy = models.ForeignKey(Taxonomy, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING) protein_length = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True) protein_domains = models.ManyToManyField(Domains, through='ProteinDomainsLink') def __str__(self): return self.protein.protein_id This is my attempt to load the data from csv and add it to the database: with open(assignment_data_set) as csv_file: csv_reader = csv.reader(csv_file, delimiter=',') for row in csv_reader: proteins.add((row[0],row[8],row[5],row[1])) protein_rows = {} for entry in proteins: row = Protein.objects.create(protein=proteinIds_rows[entry[0]],protein_length=entry[1],protein_taxonomy=taxonomy_rows[entry[3]]) row.protein_domains.add(domains_rows[entry[2]]) row.save() protein_rows[entry[0]] = row It kind of works, but still 2 Protein objects get created … -

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token " " is not valid JSON at JSON.parse (<anonymous>) when working with django
I am working on a Django chat application whereby I am using websockets and transferring JSON data. I have however encoutered some errors which are making it difficult for me to proceed. The error states Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'T', "Thanks for"... is not valid JSON at JSON.parse (<anonymous>) at ws.onmessage Here is part of my consumers.py which is handling the connection: def websocket_receive(self, event): print(f'[{self.channel_name}] - Recieved message - {event["text"]}') msg = json.dumps({ 'text': event.get('text'), 'username': self.scope['user'].username }) self.store_message(event.get('text')) async_to_sync(self.channel_layer.group_send)( self.room_name, { 'type': 'websocket.message', 'text': msg } ) def websocket_message(self, event): print(f'[{self.channel_name}] - Message sent - {event["text"]}') self.send({ 'type': 'websocket.send', 'text': event.get('text') }) And here is my javascript: ws.onmessage = function(event) { console.log(event); console.log("Message is received"); const ul = document.getElementById('message-list') var li = document.createElement('li') var data = JSON.parse(event.data); // var data = event.data; li.append(document.createTextNode( '[' + data.username + ']:' + data.text )) ul.append(li); } The code above is my original code.

Count total sum of values for a category
I have a table that contains a set of bills. Each bill is categorized. Like CreditCard, Loan, and Personal...

Is there a better way? Is the better way to wrap in a loop and pass the category onto the filter? Thanks
