Get serializer data by foreign key
I need to pass data from EmployeeSerializer to VacationSerializer as nested json. This is my serializer.py: class EmployeeSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Employee fields = ('pk', 'first_name', 'surname', 'patronymic', 'birthday', 'email', 'position', 'phone_number') class VacationSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Vacation fields = ('pk', 'start_date', 'end_date', 'employee_id', 'employee') and my models.py: class Employee(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField("Name", max_length=50) surname = models.CharField("surname", max_length=50) patronymic = models.CharField("patronymic", max_length=50) birthday = models.DateField() email = models.EmailField() position = models.CharField("position", max_length=128) phone_number = models.CharField("phone", max_length=12, null=True) is_deleted = models.BooleanField(default=False) def __str__(self): return f'{self.surname} {self.first_name} {self.patronymic}' class Vacation(models.Model): start_date = models.DateField() end_date = models.DateField() employee_id = models.ForeignKey(Employee, related_name='employee', on_delete=models.PROTECT, default=-1) def __str__(self): return f'{self.start_date} - {self.end_date}' @property def date_diff(self): return (self.end_date - self.start_date).days in views.py I have this: @api_view(['GET', 'POST']) def vacations_list(request): if request.method == 'GET': data = Vacation.objects.all() serializer = VacationSerializer(data, context={'request': request}, many=True) return Response(serializer.data) I've tried this: class VacationSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): employee = EmployeeSerializer(read_only=True, many=True) class Meta: model = Vacation fields = ('pk', 'start_date', 'end_date', 'employee_id', 'employee') but it doesn't show me even empty nested json, it shows me only VacationSerializer data. I easily can access VacationSerializer from EmployeeSerializer using PrimaryKeySerializer or any other serializer and get nested json where VacationSerializer data is nested in EmployeeSerializer data. … -

Django Models Reverse Lookup
I am trying to normalize my models in Django.

The Use cases are: Query a school with all its properties including district and province. With: School.objects.all or School.objects.get/filter I can get all schools and the district details but I do not know how to reach the province model. Get all schools in a District With: School.objects.filter(district=x) I can get schools in a district with no problem here. Get all schools in a Province Say I have province ID as 2, how do I get all schools in province 2? Thanks for any help given. -

Django: objects.raw() resulting query but not records
I'm django newbie, I have one fundamental and one technical questions. I'm using Postgres DB. I used psycopg2 connection/cursor for fetching the data, there was some delay while establishing a connection. I read that, ORM takes care of low level activities such as establishing a connection, etc. If I use django, ORM will takes care of connection challenge ? 1.1. Can I expect same (low level activities) with raw() as well? objects.raw(sql) returning Query but not records from the table. I defined Student Model as below class Student(models.Model): firstname = models.CharField(max_length=100) surname = models.CharField(max_length=100) def __str__(self): return self.firstname While creating the view, def studentList(request): #posts = Student.objects.all() --> 1. working as expected (fetching all records firstname) cursor = connection.cursor() sql = "select * from api_student" cursor.execute(sql) posts = cursor.fetchone() --> 2. returning entire record #posts = Student.objects.raw(sql) --> 3.

Chart.js automatic background color selector on Django app
I'm working on a Django app with chart.js charts and I'm trying to use a function to automatically change the colors of all the labels. Although when I run the app it only colors one label and makes the other transparent. I tried changing it from labels to data and was getting the same result. It's difficult to share the code as it is pulling data from the app so I'll share what I can. Here is the random color generator code: const labels = ['Category Types']; const backgroundcolor = []; const bordercolor = []; for (i = 0; i < labels.length; i++) { const r = Math.floor(Math.random() * 255); const g = Math.floor(Math.random() * 255); const b = Math.floor(Math.random() * 255); backgroundcolor.push("rgba(" + r + ", " + g + ", " + b + ", 1)"); bordercolor.push("rgba(" + r + ", " + g + ", " + b + ", 1)"); } Here is the chart code: var categoryTypes = JSON.parse(document.getElementById('category_types').textContent) var transactionAmountSum = JSON.parse(document.getElementById('transactionAmountSum').textContent) console.log('categoryTypes', categoryTypes) console.log('transactionAmountSum', transactionAmountSum) $(document).ready(function() { var ctx = document.getElementById('myChart1').getContext('2d'); var myCategory = new Chart(ctx, { type: 'pie', data: { labels: categoryTypes, datasets: [{ label: 'Category Types', data: transactionAmountSum, backgroundColor: [backgroundcolor], borderColor: … -
Download TikTok mp4 on client-side in Django App
I am working on an app and want to download a TikTok video given a URL on the client's machine. I have tried the following to no avail. I would like to do this in as lightweight a manner as possible and with libraries that are popular and maintained, if possible. The issues I have gotten for the attempts are provided therein. Using https://github.com/davidteather/TikTok-Api While this works locally, it does not work when I deploy the application, as I get issues with the threading. I copied over the code from this library and messed around with the threading, but it still did not work fully. I would like to avoid this option as it is not super maintainable.

How to get username field automatically in Django
I am working on a Django project which is something similar to Fiverr in its working. I have used abstractuser where there is a buyer and seller. The seller creates a gig then the buyer will go through the gig before placing an order. My issue is how to get the seller and place him in the order that the buyer will create from reading the gig. Currently I am using the system whereby the buyer will have to manually choose a gig from a list, which I think is not effective.

The right way to dynamically add Django formset instances and POST usign HTMX?
I'm making a form with a nested dynamic formset using htmx i (want to evade usign JS, but if there's no choice...) to instance more formset fields in order to make a dynamic nested form, however when i POST, only the data from 1 instance of the Chlid formset (the last one) is POSTed, the rest of the form POSTs correctly and the Child model gets the relation to the Parent model I read the django documentation on how to POST formset instances and tried to apply it to my code, also i got right how to POST both Parent and Child at the same time. For the formsets i'm making a htmx get request hx-get to a partial template that contains the child formset and that works great, the only problem is that this always returns a form-0 formset to the client side, so for the POST the data repeats x times per field and only takes the data placed in the last instance, however i tried to change the extra=int value on my formset to get more forms upright, this gave the expected result, one Child instance per form in extra=int, so my problem is up with htmx … -

How to update Django custom dashboard
I am building a custom dashboard that will only be accessible to the support team of a company. These support teams will receive complaints from a contact form but we want to be able to indicate each complaint that has been resolved from the dashboard as resolved after being attended to. Therefore, I created a field of choices (pending and resolved) which I named status. This field is not exposed to the user in the contact form and on the backend, it's 'pending' by default.

Django DeleteView SuccessMessageMixin -- how to pass data to message?
I am using SuccessMessageMixin on a CreateView and DeleteView. In the CreateView, I can send the book title to the success_message, like so: success_message = "%(title)s added successfully" Which correctly flashes "Great Expectations added successfully" on the success url. But in DeleteView, I can't access the title. I can send a generic message saying "book deleted", but I can't send a message saying "Great Expectations has been deleted". Is there a way that I can pass info about what's being deleted to the success_message?
