How does the Django setting of letting it know about your app really work?
I've been learning django for a few weeks , but i still cant fully understand how some of the settings really work,like the most basic one that when i create a new app called 'base' inside my django project then i should let django know about my app so i write like as most of the people do 'INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'base.apps.BaseConfig', ]' but if i write just only my app name 'base' , it still works , so can someone tell me what is the difference between this two? 'INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', 'base', ]' -
I need to get the value of the field that we enter in the form and immediately take action on it
I need to get the value of the field that we enter in the form (in this case, these are the days of reservation) and immediately calculate the cost of the reservation based on it And the problem is that I don’t understand how to get the value of these very fields (so this is not QuerySet request, and not accessing the database) This is my views: def booking(request): error = '' if request.method == 'POST': form = BookingForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): booking = form.save(commit=False) booking.user = request.user booking.sum = #create sum function form.save() return redirect('account') else: error = 'Форма не корректна' form = BookingForm() context = { 'form': form, 'error': error } return render(request, 'bookings/booking.html', context) And this is models: class Booking(models.Model): startdate = models.DateField('Startgdate') finishdate = models.DateField('Finishdate') user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE) sum = models.PositiveIntegerField('Sum') fullname = models.CharField('Full name', max_length=50) pnumber = models.PositiveBigIntegerField('Phone number') def __str__(self): return self.fullname class Meta: verbose_name = 'Booking' verbose_name_plural = 'Bookings' thanks in advance -

Overriding create() method in the model manager doesn't do anything
I have a model employee, and while creating an instance I want to automatically set their email to "<first_name>.<last_name>@company.com". So, I wrote a manager to do the pre-processing: class EmployeeManager(models.Manager): def create(self, **kwargs): name = kwargs['first_name'] surname = kwargs['last_name'] kwargs['email'] = f'{name}.{surname}@company.com' return super(EmployeeManager, self).create(**kwargs) class Employee(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(null=False, blank=False, default="employee", max_length=255) last_name = models.CharField(null=False, blank=False, default="employee", max_length=255) position = models.CharField(null=False, blank=False, default="SDE", max_length=255) email = models.EmailField(null=False, default="employee@company.com", unique=True) phone = models.CharField(null=False, blank=False, default='1234567890', max_length=10, validators=[MinLengthValidator]) slack_id = models.UUIDField(null=False, blank=True, default = uuid.uuid4) active = models.BooleanField(default=True) objects = EmployeeManager() def __str__(self) -> str: return self.email However, when I am creating an instance of this model using the admin interphase, the email is set to the default value (employee@company.com) and not what I am feeding it in the new create() method.

Searching for JSON in Django
I was able to import my data.json into Django after some time. Right now when a request is sent, the view.py function spits out the whole data.json file. I want to create a view.py function that only returns the results of a search request that was submitted and not the whole data.json. If I search for apple, I want the definition for apple to be returned from within data.json. I don't even know what I need to do. Do I convert the data.json file into SQL or python dictionary? Do I convert data.json into a model? The data.json files doesn't specify keys or values. views.py def searchbar(request): if request.method == 'GET': file_path = os.path.join(os.environ.get('HOME'), 'data.json') with open(file_path, 'r') as f: context = {"file_path": f} return render(request, 'movies/searchbar.html', context) searchbar.html {%block content%} {% for i in file_path %} {{i}} {%empty%} There is nothing here {%endfor%} {%endblock content%} home.html <form action ="{% url 'searchbar' %}"method="get"> <input type="text" name="search"/> <button type="submit"> Search</button> </form> data.json contents in searchbar.html when search is pressed: -

Django forms not returning result or errors
I am trying to use a Django form for a login page, but the form is returning False whenever I call form.is_valid(). I tried to print the errors in the console and in the HTML file but there's nothing displaying. I tried to get data from the form with form["email"].value() and it's returning None, even when I input data into the email field. Here's views.py: def postlogin(request): form = BootstrapAuthenticationForm(request.POST) # This prints out None into the console print(form["email"].value()) if form.is_valid(): # This code never runs! Even when there are no errors in the form fields! return render(request, "app/home.html") # If form is invalid, return to login page # This always runs, meaning form.is_valid() keeps being false! return render(request,"app/login.html", {"form":form}) Here's my forms.py: from django import forms from django.contrib.auth.forms import AuthenticationForm from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ class BootstrapAuthenticationForm(AuthenticationForm): """Authentication form which uses boostrap CSS.""" email = forms.CharField(max_length=254,label=('Email'), widget=forms.TextInput({ 'class': 'form-control', 'placeholder': 'Email'})) password = forms.CharField(label=("Password"), widget=forms.PasswordInput({ 'class': 'form-control', 'placeholder':'Password'})) Here's my login.html: {% extends "app/layout.html" %} {% block content %} <h2>{{ title }}</h2> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8"> <section id="loginForm"> <form action="/postlogin/" method="post" class="form-horizontal"> {% csrf_token %} <h4>Use a local account to log in.</h4> <hr /> <div class="form-group"> <label for="id_username" … -

Query to calculate user balances
In my project there are coins that users can buy, use to perform certain actions and convert to real money. A user can only convert coins earned (by receiving gifts for example) into real money, not those bought from the site directly. Therefore, two balances are calculated internally: coins bought and coins earned (the total balance is the sum of these two). The following model contains coin transactions (it's simplified): class CoinTransaction(models.Model): class TransactionTypes(Enum): purchase_of_coins = ('pu', 'Purchase of Coins') # Will have a positive amount conversion_into_money = ('co', 'Conversion Into Money') # Will have a negative amount earning = ('ea', 'Earning') # Will have a positive amount expense = ('ex', 'Expense') # Will have a negative amount @classmethod def get_value(cls, member): return cls[member].value[0] user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.PROTECT, related_name='coin_transactions') amount = models.IntegerField() transaction_type = models.CharField(max_length=2, choices=[x.value for x in TransactionTypes]) The earned coin balance is increased by all income except coin purchases, while the bought coin balance is increased only by coin purchases. Coins from conversion_into_money transactions are subtracted from the earned coin balance, while all other expenses are first subtracted from the bought coin balance if greater than 0. Note that the two balances cannot go below 0. To …
