What is the best way to send and fetch data periodically from Django backend to React frontend?
I'm making a web visualization app that needs to display data in real-time. I have a Python SDK that only requests data (using request library from python) directly from our database using the API provided and returns a response in JSON format. I'm using Django version 3.2 and have created a Django app and a React app version 17.0.2 in the same directory. What I did was get the data in my views.py using the Python SDK and then using the Django Rest Framework, created an API from it without using serialization. Then in the front-end (React), I fetched the data in the DRF API using Axios. So far, it's working just fine. However, I noticed that I need to restart my local Django server and refresh the page first before the latest/updated data gets reflected in my visualization. What I need is for the back-end to send the latest data to the front-end in real-time or for the front-end to request/fetch the latest data periodically from the back-end - whichever is better in terms of performance. I'm new to using DRF in the backend and Django+React as the front-end. Someone suggested looking into promises in Python but I'm not … -
How to give access to different object of a model to different users in django
I am doing an online classroom project in Django where I created a model named course which is accessible by teachers. Now I am trying to add students in a particular class by inviting students or students can enroll using "clasroom_id"(a unique field I used in the model). I added the models and views of the course object below. models.py class course(models.Model): course_name = models.CharField(max_length=200) course_id = models.CharField(max_length=10) course_sec = models.IntegerField() classroom_id = models.CharField(max_length=50,unique=True) created_by = models.ForeignKey(User,on_delete=models.CASCADE) def __str__(self): return self.course_name def is_valid(self): pass views.py def teacher_view(request, *args, **kwargs): form = add_course(request.POST or None) context = {} if form.is_valid(): course = form.save(commit=False) course.created_by = request.user course.save() return HttpResponse("Class Created Sucessfully") context['add_courses'] = form return render(request, 'teacherview.html', context) def view_courses(request, *args, **kwargs): students = course.objects.filter(created_by=request.user) dict = {'course':students} return render(request, 'teacherhome.html',dict) -
How to prevent django migrations from running?
My team frequently uses the production DB for testing new changes and on more than one occasion migrations have been created and applied before being code reviewed, creating issues in production. There are so many things wrong with this situation, but I'm hoping to at least protect our prod DB by blocking migrations based on the state of an environment variable. Is this possible? -
How to know which django middlewares are asynchronous enabled and which are not?
To see what middleware Django has to adapt, you can turn on debug logging for the django. request logger and look for log messages about “Synchronous middleware … adapted” . I have been trying to do just the same but without any luck.

Route53 DNS issue with Django Elastic Beanstalk app

API request failing if pagination is required in Django due to OrderBy' object has no attribute 'lstrip'?
I have a view that inherits from the ListModelMixin from Django REST Framework and have overridden the list(...) function so I can add query parameter validation to the list method: <!-- language: python--> class UserViewSet(ListModelMixin): def get_queryset(self): return User.objects.all() def list(self, request): queryset = self.get_queryset() # Get the query parameters from the request sort_by = request.query_params.get('sort_by') sort_order = request.query_params.get('sort_order') sorting_query: OrderBy = F(sort_by).asc(nulls_last=True) if sort_order == "desc": sorting_query = F(sort_by).desc(nulls_last=True) querySet = querySet.order_by(sorting_query, "id") # Code fails here on the pagination method page = self.paginate_queryset(queryset) if page is not None: serializer = self.get_serializer(page, many=True) return self.get_paginated_response(serializer.data) serializer = self.get_serializer(queryset, many=True) return Response(serializer.data) The error I see when running the API is: AttributeError(\"'OrderBy' object has no attribute 'lstrip'\")", which I suspect has something to do with the sorting_query variable, but I have no idea WHY. The thing is, I only see this error when the total number of results exceed the MAX page size and pagination is needed. Otherwise, the API works fine. Any help would be appreciated! Note: I'm using cursor pagination from the Django REST Framework. -
Creating a Django post feed that gradually renders posts in batches as you scroll down
I am trying to make a Django post feed without pagination, but hypothetically, once there are more than a thousand posts, it would be too heavy to always render all of the posts available. So I am trying to find a way to mimic what many other websites with infinite feeds (like Twitter for example) do so that it renders only a batch of posts, and then renders additional ones once you scroll down to the end of the already rendered ones. I am using a function view instead of the class view. Thank you in advance for any help. -
Ignore HTML line in Django Template
I am new to Django. That's why I am a bit confused. and I am not sure is it possible or not? {% for appoint in appoints %} {% if appoint.a_status == 'Pending' %} <h4>Pending</h4> <p>{{appoint}}###<a href="#">Accept</a>###<a href="#">Reject</a></p?> {% elif appoint.a_status == 'Accept' %} <h4>Accepted</h4> <p>{{appoint}}###<a href="#">Done</a>###<a href="#">Reject</a></p?> {% elif appoint.a_status == 'Done' %} <h4>Done</h4> <p>{{appoint}}</p?> {% else %} <h4>Reject</h4> <p>{{appoint}}</p?> {% endif %} {% endfor %} This is part of a template. I want to ignore Django attribute/code to ignore the h4 tag. I know I can do this something by running loop for every h4 tag. but that will less efficient.
