Cannot see foreign key values in the template
This is my 2nd week learning Django. I'm trying to get comfortable with Django Template Language. I'm trying to make an Inventory app with 4 models. The views for them are class-based. The templates for Ingredient and Menu work as expected. However, I'm struggling with trying to loop through values from the Purchase model which has a foreign key field 'menu_item'. The template is not showing anything from the for loop. I've referred numerous articles here to find most of them use function-based views. I've tried using {% for purchase in purchase_set %}, {% for purchase in purchase_set.all %}. I know the object to iterate over is a query-set. I cannot figure out what to do? MODELS.PY from django.db import models # Create your models here. class Ingredient(models.Model): Pounds = 'lbs' Ounces = 'oz' Grams = 'gms' Eggs = 'eggs' Piece = 'piece' Litre = 'litre' unit_choices = [(Pounds, 'lbs'), (Ounces, 'ounces'), (Grams, 'grams'), (Eggs, 'eggs'), (Piece, 'piece'), (Litre, 'litre')] id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) name = models.CharField(max_length=50) unit_price = models.FloatField(default=0.0) quantity = models.FloatField(default=0.0) unit = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=unit_choices) class Meta: ordering = ['id'] def __str__(self): return self.name class MenuItem(models.Model): id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) title = models.CharField(max_length=50) price = models.FloatField(default=0.0) class Meta: ordering = … -
How to create Basic PWA (progressive web apps) using django
I'm new to PWA with django. Can anyone suggest me a basic PWA app with django(with code). I tried working with the basic web app suggested in the geeks for geeks website (https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/make-pwa-of-a-django-project/) but it didn't work as the instructions were not enough. I'm unable to load the manifest in the devtools >> apps. I tried them as per the instructions in the site by adding the manifest code in settings but it did not create any manifest.json file in the templates.

What to do if value is different than all the defined choices for Django field choices?
I am currently working on a Django web application. I have defined a model as follows: class MyModel(models.Model): fav_subject_choices=[ ('physics', 'Physics'), ('chem', 'Chemistry'), ('math', 'Maths'), ] user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) student_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) fav_subject = models.CharField(max_length=50, choices=fav_subject_choices, default='physics') Here, I want to provide a dropdown of choices so that Admin can select favorite subject for students. For which I have defined choices and provided the same inside the field. However, the data of students is coming from an API which may have favorite subjects of students different from the choices I have defined, for example, a student can have 'English' as his/her favorite subject. This is fine as I don't want to change the data which is already there, instead I want to add favorite subject only for students whose data for favorite subject is missing. How can it be done? Is there an option where a field can have a value other than the choices defined? PS. This is just a dummy scenario which I have created. But it's exactly the same as the problem I am facing. -
