How to serialize snake_case model fields to camelCase in django rest framework
I'm adding REST API endpoints to my existing Django application. I'm using DRF ModelSerializer. My model classes follow the pep8 naming convention and use snake_case for field names, but I need the JSON response to be in camelCase. How can I achieve that in a cross-cutting way without defining proxy fields on each of my serializers? -
How to solve Django error 'django.db.utils.IntegrityError: NOT NULL constraint failed: myapi_article.author_id’
I am attempting to build a dummy news site to learn django. I am running into the stated error when performing a POST request to create a new article which is linked to a signed in user via the author ForeignKey. Users are handled using JWT on the front end.

How can I build the Backend for a reminding feature like in Google Calendar using django and python?
I need to implement a feature that has a recurring nature to it. A user will be able to set a reminder and that reminder will have a frequency to it. The types of frequency are as follows: Daily Weekly Biweekly Monthly Bimonthly Quarterly Half Yearly Yearly Biyearly And to top it off I also need to allow the user to add a "remind me {x} hours before {the scheduled reminder}" Please HELP! Can somebody explain to me the technologies I'll need to use to build a feature like this? To be more precise—to build the backend for it. I did some research and found out about Celery & Redis as the way to go besides a Cron job. And then upon finding out about Celery-Beat I gave up. Why? Because it's all so very confusing and complex. I'm not sure if this is the right way, or not. It seems to me like this could be made inefficiently very easily, if done by brute-force, or very complex, if done efficiently. -
Intermittent Process Stoppage with Requests Library in Django App on Google Compute Engine When Using Gemini API

How to handle permissions of media files uploaded in django?
Need urgent help Hi guys, need a help about a project. How can I handle media files securely in django and Django rest framework? Basically the files should be private. For example, suppose this is a digital product website, where the buyer will only get access to the file if he/she purchases the digital product. Otherwise, the product file should be private. I can handle the permissions of drf and django views. But usually the media files are not private, the media files can be access via url easily. If one buyer purchases and share the file link with others everyone can download even without creating an account. So how can I handle this? Also how can I handle video files, that needs to be streamed to the frontend. Thanks -

Celery: attach custom logger to default celery handler (logfile)
I would like to have a logger that can be used both in django and in celery. When used by django it should print to console, while when used from a celery task, I would like it to output using the default celery handler (in my case, it dumps to a file specified by the --logfile cmd line argument). This is especially useful for helper functions that are used by both the django server and celery tasks. This is what I have in my settings.py file: LOGLEVEL = os.environ.get("LOGLEVEL", "info").upper() LOGGING = { "version": 1, # the dictConfig format version "disable_existing_loggers": False, # retain the default loggers "handlers": { # console logs to stderr "console": { "class": "logging.StreamHandler", "formatter": "verbose", }, "django.server": DEFAULT_LOGGING["handlers"]["django.server"], }, "formatters": { "verbose": { "format": "[{asctime}]|{levelname}| {message}", "style": "{", }, "django.server": { # "()": "django.utils.log.ServerFormatter", "format": "[{asctime}]|{levelname}| {message}", "style": "{", }, }, "loggers": { # default for all undefined Python modules "": { "level": "WARNING", "handlers": ["console"], }, # Our application code "app": { "level": LOGLEVEL, "handlers": ["console"], # Avoid double logging because of root logger "propagate": False, }, # Default runserver request logging "django.server": DEFAULT_LOGGING["loggers"]["django.server"], "django.channels.server": DEFAULT_LOGGING["loggers"]["django.server"], }, } In my "app" logger, I have … -
how to Implement non-blocking, sequential AI moves in a multiplayer chess game in django channels?
I'm developing a website to play a special with kind of chess with React and Django. It pretty much requires two games to be played at the same time. The website allows to add AI players, so the common scenario is to have board 1 (human vs AI) and board 2 (AI vs AI). I want the computer players to behave in a manner that they play a move, wait a second, then let another one play, not blocking other games. The problem is that the following code makes the entire AI vs AI game play in a blink of an eye and makes it impossible to send and receive any event (even the game.start event does not get sent). This is my code that triggers the computers playing against each other: for game in started_games: await self.channel_layer.group_send( self.room_group_name, {'type': 'game.start'}) if self.is_ai_turn_in_game(game): if game.gamemode == GameMode.CLASSICAL.value: board = chess.Board(fen=game.fen) else: board = chess.variant.CrazyhouseBoard(fen=game.fen) print(self.is_ai_turn_in_game(game)) while self.is_ai_turn_in_game(game): await self.handle_ai_turn(game, board) await self.send_move_to_clients(game) self.send_move_to_clients processes some data, then calls await self.channel_layer.group_send( self.room_group_name, {'type': 'game.move', 'message': response_data} ) which executes the following code: async def game_move(self, event): move = event['message'] await self.send(json.dumps(move)) await asyncio.sleep(1) I am wondering if I should use a … -

What is so dofficult for Django to work out about display media images on my template?
Right, what is so difficult for Django to work out in pertinence to displaying an image on a template when DEBUG is set to False? Why is it, when I do literally everything correctly, does it just outright refused to display the bloody image on the page? Why is it, when I have correctly set up my MEDIA_URL and my MEDIA_ROOT in my settings.py, does it still refuse to load the page? Why is it that despite correctly setting up my root urls.py page in the following fasion, does Django refuse to the display the image in the webpage: urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) Why is is that, despite correctly setting up the upload_to directly in my models.py file, run the makemigrations as well as the migrate command, does Django....you get the idea. Why is that that despite installing whitenoise, and running the py manage.py collectstatic command doesnt Django...oh yes, sorry, we've done this before.

django rest framework LimitOffsetPagination when modifying results
I'm using django rest frame work and want LimitOffsetPagination https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/pagination/#limitoffsetpagination to work on the json output of my view class MyList(generics.ListAPIView) which has thousands of records to potentially page through. I can't figure out how to get it working as desired without fetching all the potential records vs only the slice needed for a given page. The problem is introduced by the fact that I have to modify the records before returning from the view, I can't just return a queryset, I return my customized list of records. If I merely do some queryset manipulation and return a queryset, everything works great. SQL to the DB uses LIMIT and OFFSET so it's fast, a page of records is fetched, and json is paged as expected. I need to modify the results of the queryset however and as soon as I evaluate it mylist = list(queryset) SQL does NOT use LIMIT and OFFSET it fetches all the records. If I use slice notation on the queryset queryset[offset:offset+limit] to force it to only get what I want, then modify those results that works up to a point(SQL uses LIMIT and OFFSET etc). The problem is say the slice was 100 records, the … -

Organizing Django Project: Separating App into Multiple Servers with Shared Database and User Model
In our project, we plan to split one Django app from the monolith into a separate server, while using a single database for both. I don't understand how to correctly utilize the user model, which will be shared between the two servers. Should migrations, both existing and future ones, remain in one repository or should they be split between the two? class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin): uuid = models.UUIDField(default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False, unique=True) email = models.EmailField(_("Email address"), unique=True) email_verified = models.BooleanField(default=False) first_name = models.CharField(_("first name"), max_length=100, blank=True, null=True) last_name = models.CharField(_("last name"), max_length=100, blank=True, null=True Explored various architectural options for splitting a Django app into two servers with a shared database.

I want to find a method to avoid complexity and coupling in django models + rest api
I created a model for an API. After that, I planned to add more APIs from different platforms. however, all of the APIs were for the same purpose but the data they required and their methods of accepting the data differ. For example. (it's just an example to explain, not the actual case but 90% similar) I create a model with attributes (name, email, password), but the second API is using (firstname, lastname, email, password). Maybe the third API will ask for (Surname, country, oassword) etc. Then I wanted to create a view to perform CRUD operation. But to know which crud should be done for which API, I created a class with the name CRUD handler in which the class will specify which one to use. I also created another class with the name 'BOT' which had a unique secret key to identify which user wants to use which API. So that every time the credentials are not meant to be sent for safety. Almost all of them use/support the REST framework This is the flow that I want: some_other_WEbsite -> (sends data with secret key) -> djangoview -> BOT ->(uses secret key) to identify the USER, the API … -
I want to show users who selected a particular role, on a dropdown in another form,,
PERSONAL DATA user = models.ForeignKey(User,on_delete=models.CASCADE,default=1) image = models.FileField(_('Profile Image'),upload_to='profiles',default='default.png',blank=True,null=True,help_text='upload image size less than 2.0MB')#work on path username-date/image firstname = models.CharField(_('Firstname'),max_length=125,null=False,blank=False) lastname = models.CharField(_('Lastname'),max_length=125,null=False,blank=False) # linemanager = models.CharField(_('Line manager'),max_length=125,null=False,blank=False,default='mr.....') # birthday = models.DateField(_('Birthday'),blank=False,null=False) phone = models.CharField(_('Phone number'),max_length=12,null=False,blank=False,help_text='enter phone number') department = models.ForeignKey(Department,verbose_name =_('Department'),on_delete=models.SET_NULL,null=True,default=None) role = models.ForeignKey(Role,verbose_name =_('Role'),on_delete=models.SET_NULL,null=True,default=None) this is the employee models.py where i add a staff and select a particular role def dashboard_employees_create(request): if not (request.user.is_authenticated and request.user.is_superuser and request.user.is_staff): return redirect('/') if request.method == 'POST': form = EmployeeCreateForm(request.POST,request.FILES) if form.is_valid(): instance = form.save(commit = False) user = request.POST.get('user') assigned_user = User.objects.get(id = user) instance.user = assigned_user instance.title = request.POST.get('title') instance.image = request.FILES.get('image') instance.firstname = request.POST.get('firstname') instance.lastname = request.POST.get('lastname') instance.phone = request.POST.get('phone') role = request.POST.get('role') role_instance = Role.objects.get(id = role) instance.role = role_instance instance.startdate = request.POST.get('startdate') instance.employeetype = request.POST.get('employeetype') instance.employeeid = request.POST.get('employeeid') # instance.dateissued = request.POST.get('dateissued') instance.save() This is the views class LeaveCreationForm(forms.ModelForm): reason = forms.CharField(required=False, widget=forms.Textarea(attrs={'rows': 4, 'cols': 40})) class Meta: model = Leave exclude = ['user','defaultdays','hrcomments','status','is_approved','updated','created'] this is what my leave creation form looks like
