ReactJS Api Fetch Request to Django Backend returns "strict-origin-when-cross-origin" error
I tried to make a API call to Django Backend made with djangorestframework and simplejwt from ReactJS and it returns an error. error: "strict-origin-when-cross-origin" I set the cors-headers and It still doesen't working.But when I send the request from postman it works. Here's the fetch request code function handleSubmit(e) { e.preventDefault() const email = emailRef.current.value const password = emailRef.current.value if (!email || !password) return const res = fetch('http://localhost:8000/api/token', { method: "POST", headers: { 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify( { username: email, password } ) }) if (res.status !== 200) navigate('/login') } -
Problems with updating a Django form with information from another model
I'm basically building functionality to update a form with values from one table in my models.py, the form will populate the initial values with that table (leads) and upon submitting the information, the form will populate another model (leads) These is my models.py class Leads(models.Model): project_id = models.BigAutoField(primary_key=True, serialize=False) created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) expected_revenue = MoneyField(decimal_places=2,max_digits=14, default_currency='USD') expected_licenses = models.IntegerField(blank=True) country = CountryField(blank_label='(select_country)') status = models.CharField(choices=[('Open', 'Open'), ('Closed', 'Closed'), ('Canceled', 'Canceled')], max_length=10) estimated_closing_date = models.DateField(blank=True) services = models.CharField(choices=[('Illumination Studies', 'Illumination Studies'), ('Training', 'Training'),('Survey Design Consultancy', 'Survey Design Consultancy'), ('Software License', 'Software License'), ('Software Development','Software Development')], max_length=40) agent = models.ForeignKey(Profile, default='agent',on_delete=models.CASCADE) company = models.ForeignKey(Company,on_delete=models.CASCADE) point_of_contact = models.ForeignKey(Client, default='agent',on_delete=models.CASCADE) updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) class Deal(models.Model): project_id = models.ForeignKey(Leads, on_delete=models.CASCADE, default='id') agent = models.ForeignKey(Profile, on_delete=models.CASCADE, default="agent") service = models.ForeignKey(Leads, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='service') closing_date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True) client = models.ForeignKey(Client, on_delete=models.CASCADE,default='client') licenses = models.ForeignKey(Leads,on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='license') revenue = MoneyField(max_digits=14, decimal_places=2, default_currency='USD') comments = models.TextField(blank=True,null=True) company = models.ForeignKey(Company, on_delete=models.CASCADE) Forms.py class NewDealForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Deal fields = ['project_id','agent','client','company','service', 'licenses','revenue','comments'] @login_required def close_lead(request): if request.method == 'POST': deal_form = NewDealForm(request.POST) print(deal_form) if deal_form.is_valid(): deal_form.save() messages.success(request, 'You have successfully updated the status from open to Close') id = request.GET.get('project_id', '') obj = Leads.objects.get(project_id=id) obj.status = "Closed" obj.save(update_fields=['status']) return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('dashboard')) else: … -
Implementing OAUTH2 with custom user model
I am trying to use custom user model for implementing OAUTH2 and I am having an issue with convert token API. my custom model returns a JWT token and it is defined in settings.py as - AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'user.User' here is name of custom backend- DRFSO2_PROPRIETARY_BACKEND_NAME = "MyAPP" I am not sure if the above step is correct because I just gave it a random name. now I am confused what should I do in- AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ( 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend', ) -
How to set variable in python django template from a function call?
I have the following library which returns a dict: {% load path_parts %} I can successfully call the method and print the value: {% path_parts request.get_full_path %} I would like to assign the dict to a variable, but I cannot: {% with paths=path_parts request.get_full_path %} How can I assign a result of a function call to a variable? -
'str' object has no attribute 'user' generated for unknown reason from Django View
I have a view built around the following code: views.py: def create_instance(request): form = InstanceMF() form2 = TextBox() if request.method == 'POST': form = InstanceMF(request.POST) form2 = TextBox(request.POST) if form.is_valid() and form2.is_valid(): content = form2.cleaned_data['content'] form = form.save(commit=False) form.author = request.user scores_dict = analyze(content) When I try to submit data in this view however, I get the error message from the title based on the last line where I attempt to call the analyze function, which is the following: def analyze(content): content = content.translate(remove_punctuation) word_list = content.lower().split() columns = Model1._meta.fields for word in word_list: model = Model1.objects.all() if word in model.filter(word__icontains=word): column = model for key, value in dictionary.items(): selected_columns = columns[value[0]:value[1]:2] if column in selected_columns: instance = dictionary2.get(key) if 'yes' in key: final_score[instance] += 1 elif 'no' in key: final_score[instance] -= 1 return final_score My guess here is that the database query somehow messes up the data structure needed to save InstanceMF in such a way that the current "user" is no longer accessible. How do I correct this? -
Is it possible to refresh an included Django template without refreshing the whole page?
I'm struggling with an issue similar to this one. I've got a Django template that includes a whole bunch of smaller templates with for-loops to render various aspects of my page. I'm wondering what the best way is to go about updating individual little templates to render them in the master template without having to do a whole page refresh. Does Django for example support some kind of React-like virtual dom to rerender only individual sub-templates? I understand that templates are being computed on the server and the generated HTML is then sent to the client for rendering so perhaps it's not possible to render templates in-place? The post above mentions passing data to the server with AJAX to refresh a particular template, but before I start revamping my page, I was wondering if that would work for rendering multiple templates at a time, and if so, if someone could point me to an example where this is explained in some detail; I've been looking, but couldn't find any. Thanks! -
Calling Python function from JS [duplicate]
I have a python django project. And I am trying to call a python function from JS. To start I’ve a html button that runs a JS function. It works fine: <input id="clickMe" type="button" value="clickme" onclick="show();" /> Currently I have this JS function just showing an alert. Like so. function show_eb_variable_table() { alert("Hello! I am an alert box!!"); } What I want to do is to instead of showing this alert I want to call and run a python function from my “plot.py” file in the project. The function I want to call is as so: def printing_something (request): print('hi') return render(request, 'index2.html', {}) Is there a way I can connect the JS to call the Python function? -
Django form validation only validating partially before submit/post
I have a customer registration form within a bootstrap modal, for this reason I would like to do some basic validation before posting. At the moment if you leave a field blank, if the string is too long or if there isn't a @ in the email then an alert appears, which is perfect. But, mismatching passwords, invalid email addresses like example@example submit. Surely that should fail the ValidateEmail regex? The validation failures are picked up fine in views after submission but getting back to the modal is the problem so I'd like them caught by the same pre-submission validation that picks up a blank fields. Or failing that, is it feasible to do an Ajax request on View and refresh the form asynchronously? Getting the form into json wouldn't be fun. Or should I just give up on django and use jquery validation? Forms: class CreateRegistrationForm(UserCreationForm): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super().__init__(*args, **kwargs) for f in self.fields: self.fields[f].widget.attrs['class'] = 'form-control' class Meta: model = User fields = ["email", "password1", "password2", "first_name", "last_name"] Models: class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin): class Types(models.TextChoices): CUSTOMER = "CUSTOMER", "Customer" STAFF = "STAFF", "Staff" base_type = Types.CUSTOMER type = models.CharField( _("Type"), max_length=50, choices=Types.choices, default=base_type ) user_name = models.CharField(max_length=150) … -
Add a template folder selection for a django package
I am relatively new to django and am looking for help on custom package templates management. At work, we are using a home-made custom django package that we add to installed apps in our main projects. This package has tools and utilities, as well as the base templates that we derive from in main projects. What's changing? We need to update our frontend and are changing libraries, which has an impact on the templates in this custom package. With a view to avoid multiplying the custom package branches and versions (we already have a couple for different versions of django), and given that the templates in our existing applications will not all be updated at once, we wish to make it so that the main project will use either the old templates or the new version of templates (variable selection or default). What I aim for (if possible): adding a folder level in the custom package templates folder that the project will look in adding a variable (in the project's settings.py file for example) to indicate which template folder the main project needs to look for in the package not having to modify the old templates folder in the package, … -
django documentation user permission ambiguity on object level permission
I am getting my feet wet with django user permission and I am trying to: Create specific permissions for different models I have. Assign to some permissions to some users for only some instances of a specific model. So basically, user_i might have permission_a and permission_b on project_one but only permission_a on project_two. Looking at the documentation, I got that I can define a custom permission on a model by adding the following Meta to the class: class JobProject(models.Model): id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False) .... class Meta: permissions = [ ("permission_a", "This is perm a"), ("permission_b", "This is perm b"), ] However, now I am not sure I understand how can I add permission_a to user_a only for a specific instance project_a of the JobProject class. Django documentation is indeed ambiguous on the matter. On one hand it states that I can use the method has_perm(perm, obj=None) to check if a user has a specific perm on a specific obj. On the other hand, there is no hint on how I can specify which specific object I want to add a permission for when I run user_a.user_permissions.add(permission_a) Any idea? I saw that django-guardian could be a valuable alternative but I … -
How to make many to one field reference in Django 3.2?
I'm working on a simple project in Django which is a To Do applictaion. Lately I have add to this project a login/register form, but despite that every user has their own account with their own credentials they access to the same data.

Using a ListCharField as a filter field
I am trying to implement an API which you would filter objects using a ListCharField called categories. I want an object to be filtered if any of the values in its categories field matches with the category being searched. With my implementation, objects are being matched only if all the values in the categories match. Example: Consider an object A with categories='fun','party' and B with categories='fun' Then http://127.0.0.1:8000/theme/?categories=fun does not match with A but with B only. Model: class Themes(models.Model): id = models.CharField(max_length=64, unique=True, default=gen_uuid4_th name = models.CharField(max_length=128) description = models.CharField(max_length=512) categories = ListCharField(base_field=models.CharField(max_length=32), size=5, max_length=(6*33), null=True) View: class ThemesView(viewsets.ModelViewSet): serializer_class = AgendaTemplateSerializer permission_classes = (IsMemberUser,) filter_backends = (filters.DjangoFilterBackend,) filterset_fields = ('categories',) def get_permissions(self): ... def get_queryset(self): return Themes.objects.filter(Q(team__isnull=True) | Q(team=self.request.mp.team.teamid), is_archived=False) \ .order_by('-created_at') -
Django CreateView pass additional context data
I have a form in a bootstrap modal, and I want to keep that modal open after submission. I am using CreateView and trying to pass an additional variable to the template in front-end where I could check if the flag is set or not, but the flag is always False even after submission. Here is what I have: views.py from django.urls import reverse from django.views.generic.edit import CreateView from .forms import MescForm from .models import Mesc class MescData(CreateView): model = Mesc form_class = MescForm template_name = 'Materials/mesc_data.html' successful_submit = False # Flag to keep the add entry modal open def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(*args, **kwargs) context['successful_submit'] = self.successful_submit return context def get_success_url(self): return reverse('mesc') def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): form_class = self.get_form_class() form = self.get_form(form_class) form.was_satisfied = True if form.is_valid(): return self.form_valid(form) else: return self.form_invalid(form) def form_valid(self, form, **kwargs): # self.successful_submit = True return super(MescData, self).form_valid(form, **kwargs) And in Template, I'm checking it like this: {% if success %} <h1>Flag is set</h1> {% endif %} Is there a way to pass non-form-related data in CreateView to the template without having to change the url.py (i.e. adding variable data to url path)? -

Create User and UserProfile on user signup with django-allauth
I am using django-allauth for taking car of accounts, login, logout, signup, but I need that on create the user must create a profile and I am using the model UserProfile as it can be seen on the code. The problem is that when I created the custom signup form, now it creates a user with [username, email, first_name, last_name, password] but it does not create a UserProfile. And I have three questions: How to create a User and a UserProfile on signup? How can add styling to the forms that come with django-allauth, i.e. at /accounts /login/ How can I modify so that when the user logs in, it will redirect him to /profiles/ instead of /accounts/profiles or is it better in terms of REST principles to have it /accounts/profiles/ if yes, then is it possible to modify the profiles app so that it can use django-allauth views? My custom signup form: # django_project/profiles/forms.py from django import forms from allauth.account.forms import SignupForm class CustomSignupForm(SignupForm): first_name = forms.CharField(max_length=30, label='First Name') last_name = forms.CharField(max_length=30, label='Last Name') bio = forms.CharField(max_length=255, label='Bio') def save(self, request): user = super(CustomSignupForm, self).save(request) user.first_name = self.cleaned_data['first_name'] user.last_name = self.cleaned_data['last_name'] user.bio = self.cleaned_data['bio'] user.save() return user Settings: # … -

Can I make a movie theater seat reservation system by linking Django and JavaScript?
Today, when accessing the website of a movie theater, there is a graphic UI that informs the location and number of seats, and there is a function for the user to select a seat. I want to implement such a function, but when I try to do it, I have no idea how to handle it. For example, if there are 10x10 rows of seats, should I create a seat model in Django, create 100 objects there, and choose the method of linking them? First of all, the graphic function is written in JavaScript, but the rest is not progressing. This is my javascript code about seat table. {% load static %} <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <link href="{% static 'movie/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.css' %}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <title>Pick your seat</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'ticket/css/seat_page.css' %}"> <style> .seat { width: 40px; height: 30px; } .clicked { background-color: #f4a7bb; color: #000000; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="screen-x"> <h2>SCREEN</h2> <div class="seat-table"> <div class="seat-wrapper"></div> </div> </div> </body> <script> let test = []; let selectedSeats = new Array(); let selectedSeatsMap = []; const seatWrapper = document.querySelector(".seat-wrapper"); let clicked = ""; let div = ""; for (let i = 0; i < 18; i++) … -

Custom permission/restriction with DJANGO REST ModelViewSet
I would like to restrict users to have only limited access/permissions in create or destroy method. Here is the scenario, a user, with admin role can do anything (create, get, update, delete), where as an ordinary user(customer) can only perform those allowed actions(create, get, delete) to its related model. My model looks like this class Material(models.Model): ingredient = models.ForeignKey(Ingredient, on_delete=models.CASCADE) class UserMaterialAllow(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(get_user_model()) material = models.ForeignKey('Material, on_delete=models.CASCADE) Here is how I added a custom restriction /views/material.py class MaterialView(viewsets.ModelViewSet): queryset=Material.objects.all() serializer-class = MaterialSerializer def create(self, request, *args, **kwargs): if(not app_admin(request.user)): // the user is not admin return Response(status=status.HTTP_403_FORBIDDEN)// this will forbid non admin user in MateralView, a user cant access if it is not an admin.
