using django models to map one to many and many to one
I started using django today and am having trouble creating models based off the response of an API call. We can have a Course that gives a list of professors. Though, Professors can also teach multiple courses. I'm not sure how to create a list for both professors in the Course class and courses in the Professor class. Note: I am using MongoDB so I wasn't using the postgres ArrayFields. I have the following code: from django.db import models class Course(models.Model): department = models.CharField(max_length=4) course_number = models.CharField(max_length=4) title = models.CharField(max_length=100) description = models.CharField(max_length=1000) credits = models.IntegerField(max_length=1) gpa = models.DecimalField(max_digits=4, decimal_places=3) professors = ??? class Professor(models.Model): id = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True) name = models.CharField(max_length=100, unique=True) reviews = models.BooleanField(default=True) courses = ??? I visited this stackoverflow post and wasn't sure if this was the best way to approach it considering this might be a bit outdated. I also viewed the ArrayFields class to attempt to use that but wasn't sure if that was only for postgres (because I'm using MongoDB) -
I don't have models.Model.objects
For some reason I can do almost everything on Django but access to model.objects, like, it doesn't even appear, I cannot delete nor find anything without that (or I do not know how), I'm learning django from a basic course. I use Python 3.11, Django 4.1.4, on Pycharm 2022.3. PD: If you know of another way of doing the Create, Read, Update and Delete of objects I would apreciate that. Sorry for the english. I tried searching on the web about this problem but sinsce I'm a noob on Django and trainee on python most things are like white noise to me, like, I don't understand. -
Ajax doesn't wait for server response
On this website I allow user to make some posts. The details of the posts are saved in the database and the file in the user account folder with Django file system. When I try to delete the post with Ajax I get the console.error from Ajax error: function(data). The ERROR. ERROR...

What is the best way to query ChatGPT regarding writing code?
I have been interacting with ChatGPT on openAI.com and trying out the code it has written. I have asked it various questions regarding Django, python and pyQuil. It comes back with a general outline of how to proceed usually in a text or conversational form if you don't request code examples. It has written a Django app for me after requesting a code example. How can I make use of its code writing ability more effectively? I also want to build it into a code writing app which I have yet to design. This question is my attempt to earn a silver badge on StackOverflow.com . I have yet to fully investigate other people's work regarding getting the chat-bot to write useful code. The bot does have limitations, it has been trained on data ending in late 2021 and can't execute a single line of code itself, not even to show the results of example code it has just written, when provided with input data. It can tell you how to write most code, but usually comes up with something simple and somewhat incomplete. In the Django code app question it didn't write models.py until prompted. It didn't include a … -

Why django-rest-framework is generating same api url for two views (both views having same queryset)?
My Project Configuration is this. This is realated to Contact Form. Here I have two approach: Customer from frontend can only post (i.e. send message) and admin can only retrieve and list the contacts. Models.py class Contact(models.Model): full_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) email = models.EmailField() phone_no = models.CharField(max_length=10, validators=[validate_phone_no]) message = models.TextField() created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, blank=True, null=True) def __str__(self): return self.email serializers.py class ContactSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Contact fields = [ 'full_name', 'email', 'phone_no', 'message', ] Views.py class ContactViewset(viewsets.ModelViewSet): permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated] queryset = Contact.objects.all() search_fields = [] ordering_fields = [] ordering = [] http_method_names = ["options", "head", "get"] serializer_class = ContactSerializer class CustomerContactViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): permission_classes = [AllowAny] queryset = Contact.objects.all() http_method_names = ['post'] serializer_class = ContactSerializer urls.py router.register("contacts-detail", ContactViewset) router.register("contact-form", CustomerContactViewSet) My question is: Why DRF is generating the same url for both views although I have given different names for both: 'contact-form'----> for posting and 'contact-detail'--------> for listing the contacts Both views are pointing to same Model - Is this the Reason?

Django - How to filter form field many to many after search result
I currently have a sports many to many field that contains multiple sports such as Tennis, Football, Rugby etc. What i am trying to do is pass a search result to the form which will filter and update the sports field and then redisplay the field with only the search result. So if i search for "Tennis" the sports field should only display "Tennis" and not a list of other sports field. However, i cannot figure out how to do this. I have tried using a post function in the class based view which filters sports field (it works) but i cannot pass this back to the form where it can update the filtered sports field. I currently return the filtered result (which i believe is wrong) and i get the error "too many values to unpack (expected 2)" I have also tried removing the post function from the class based view and placing the post function in the the form class and that also does not work as it just updates the form. Here are my models: class SportsTag(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True) def __str__(self): return self.name class ProfileUser(AbstractUser): ... sports = models.ManyToManyField(SportsTag, blank=True) Here is the code for … -
Add Django pytest test database migrations only for tests
I am looking for a decent solution for any migrations in database itself. We have custom SQL script which adds pg_trgm extention to PostgreSQL database, which is simply CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm; and FROM postgres:14.5-alpine COPY init.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sql in database`s Dockerfile After that I can easily add specialized GIN indexes to models, i.e. class MyModel(models.Model): """ My model comment """ objects = MyManager() field = models.CharField(max_length=100) class Meta: indexes = ( models.Index(Upper("field"), name="field_idx"), GinIndex( fields=["field"], opclasses=["gin_trgm_ops"], name="field_gin_idx", ), GinIndex( OpClass(Upper("field"), name="gin_trgm_ops"), name="field_gin_idx", ), So I want to reflect that "custom script" in Django pytest tests. P.S.: I know there is a trigram extention for that purpose, but it was a TL decision to put custom database migration in separate place Do you have any idea on how to prepare such fixture? I was looking for related pytest fixtures but haven't found any solution -
How to use a Regex pattern in a Django form field widget attribute using JQuery

post action drops part of the url in django app
I'm building my first ecommerce app, while attempting to gain more skills in Django. I have a form problem, where I am either adding a product, or editing one, using the same Template. My problem is where the action call drops part of the url when submitting POST back to the server ( right now, it's just the python manage.py runserver). When I go to edit, I see the url: http://127.0.0.1:8000/mystore/edit-product/4 When I edit the product and click submit, I get the Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/mystore/edit-product/ page not found error. and I don't make it back to the server to determine anything else.

Django FileField saving empty file to database
I have a view that should generate a temporary JSON file and save this TempFile to the database. The content to this file, a dictionary named assets, is created using DRF using serializers. This file should be written to the database in a model called CollectionSnapshot. class CollectionSnapshotCreate(generics.CreateAPIView): permission_classes = [MemberPermission, ] def create(self, request, *args, **kwargs): collection = get_collection(request.data['collection_id']) items = Item.objects.filter(collection=collection) assets = { "collection": CollectionSerializer(collection, many=False).data, "items": ItemSerializer(items, many=True).data, } fp = tempfile.TemporaryFile(mode="w+") json.dump(assets, fp) fp.flush() CollectionSnapshot.objects.create( final=False, created_by=request.user, collection_id=collection.id, file=ContentFile(fp.read(), name="assets.json") ) fp.close() return JsonResponse({}, status=200) Printing assets returns the dictionary correctly. So I am getting the dictionary normally. Following the solution below I do get the file saved to the db, but without any content: copy file from one model to another Seems that json.dump(assets, fp) is failing silently, or I am missing something to actually save the content to the temp file prior to sending it to the database. The question is: why is the files in the db empty?
