Pass data between views and response data using second view -> Django/DRF
I'm trying to implement APIView where I can pass data (category and number of flashcards that I want to see in response) from below view: def start_view(request): """ View where user is choosing the category he/she wants to learn flashcards from and number of flashcards. After submit the form view will upload chosen number of flashcards from chosen category. """ if request.method == "POST": form = LearningForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): category_to_learn = form.cleaned_data["category"] number_of_flashcards_to_learn = form.cleaned_data["number_of_flashcards"] queryset = Flashcard.objects.filter( # type: ignore category=category_to_learn )[:number_of_flashcards_to_learn] return render(request, "flashcard_challenge.html", {"queryset": queryset}) else: form = LearningForm() return render(request, "start_page.html", {"form": form}) In above view I have list in response (I want json using other endpoint.) I got stuck few days ago and I don't know what to do.. All I want is: Choose category (from those I have in a db) and write number of flashcards in start_view and than I want to be redirect to view where flashcards (from chosen category) will be displayed in json format. I'd be thankful for any advice. -
Don't understand how to logout of FusionAuth from Django Application
I am writing a Django app that uses a 3rd-Party Authentication Service implemented with FusionAuth. I can successfully register and login (using the authorization code flow). However, logging out is not working. I can logout from the local Django app, but when I try to login after that FusionAuth recognizes that my access_token is still valid and just goes directly to the redirect page (the page you usually goto after successfully logging into FusionAuth). Clearly I don't understand something about FusionAuth. I have tried both the python client and the restful API and I don't really understand what it does. According to the documentation it "...is intended to be used to remove the refresh token and access token cookies if they exist on the client and revoke the refresh token". Why then is the access_token still valid? -

When you insert a text value that contains quotation marks or an apostrophe, it is truncated
When pasting a text value containing quotes or an apostrophe using jQuery into a value field, it is truncated at that character. I know about single and double quotes. The text can be anything. It is saved in the database normally, everything is in order in the variable, but when outputting to html - confusion. How to avoid this error? One of the options: $('<div>', { class: 'menu-block', html: `<div class="menu-button"> <button onclick="return itemField(this)" type="button" class="btn btn-warning"> <i class="bi bi-pencil"></i> </button> <button onclick="return deleteField(this)" type="button" class="btn btn-danger""> <i class="bi bi-trash"></i> </button> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col"> <input type="text" class="form-control" data="label" value='${label}' disabled /> </div> <div class="col"> <input type="text" class="form-control" data="datal" value='${datal}' disabled /> </div> </div>` }).appendTo('#div-extra'); -

How to do transactions with Metamask and Python?
I am trying to develop a web app based on Django. The application has a button which should open Metamask in order to perform a payment transaction. In order to do so, I found some tutorials which suggest to use the JSON-RPC API or in other words, I need to add some javascript code which opens Metamask and asks to confirm the transaction. Here is my question: is there some way to achieve the same result but using only Python code which could be embedded in the Django back-end? I saw there is a library called web3.py which allows to do something similar but does not open the Metamask plug-in and therefore it lacks the nice interface. -

Mind you, changing the template name to anything other than it starting without an r works fine. So, 'base\loom.html' works. Any idea why this is so? I only started noticing this recently -
