Heroku Django - I need to run collectstatic for every change I make in development
I have successfully deployed my web app to heroku. Now I want to continue development on the local host I get from 'python manage.py runserver', but it doesn't reload the CSS until I do 'python manage.py collectstatic'. (I have tried F5 and Ctrl+F5).

Do I really need to accommodate both GET and POST request formats in a django form?
I'm new to django but something I don't understand is the need for accommodating both the GET and POST request types when developing a form. Please refer to code below from django docs: from .forms import NameForm def get_name(request): # if this is a POST request we need to process the form data if request.method == 'POST': # create a form instance and populate it with data from the request: form = NameForm(request.POST) # check whether it's valid: if form.is_valid(): # process the data in form.cleaned_data as required # ... # redirect to a new URL: return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/') # if a GET (or any other method) we'll create a blank form else: form = NameForm() return render(request, 'name.html', {'form': form}) The reason this confuses me is because I have developed a GET based form and it is working and I have no need for the POST portion above? See below: # views.py def simplifier_form(request): form = LabelForm() return render(request, "simplifier.html", {"form": form}) # forms.py class LabelForm(ModelForm): labels = forms.ModelChoiceField( queryset=Label.objects.all(), to_field_name='label_name', widget=forms.Select(attrs={'class': 'labels'}), ) class Meta: model = Label fields = ['labels'] -
Use IntegerChoices in model Meta class
I'm creating some constraints in my Meta class that reference an IntegerChoices enum. The issue I'm having is that I can't seem to figure out how to reference that IntegerChoices enum. class MyModel(models.Model): States = models.IntegerChoices('States', 'PROGRESSING INSTALLED DELETED') state = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(choices=States.choices, help_text='Defines the cluster\'s current state') class Meta: constraints = [ models.CheckConstraint(check=models.Q(state__in=States), name='cluster_state_valid'), ] self.States isn't working, no self object. MyModel.States isn't working either since MyModel isn't fully instantiated at this point. Any advice/recommendation would be appreciated, thanks! -

Django Parameters in URL from POST Request
I'm trying to create a search bar in Django, where users can enter a value to search for, click enter / search button, and then the url redirects to https:localhost:3000/usearch/abc, if they for example search for abc. This is URL paramter can always change based on the search, and it should send the parameter to the views.py file to be processed, though I can't get it to work. urls.py urlpatterns = [ path('', views.index, name='index'), path('register/', views.register, name='register'), path('usearch/', views.usearch, name='usearch'), path('usearch/<str:query>', views.usearch_query, name='usearch_query' ] views.py def usearch(request): return render(request, 'myapp/usearch.html') def usearch_query(request, query): context = {'query': query} print(query) # Testing the search result return render(request, 'myapp/usearch_query.html'} usearch.html <form method="POST" action="{% url 'usearch_query' %} <input type="search" placeholder="Search here..."> <button type="submit"> Search </button> </form> usearch_query.html {{ query }} I essentially want the user to search something, have it navigate to usearch/<search_parameter> and process the search in the usearch_query function so I can do some computations with it. -
Filtering by length of substring of a name django queryset?
I am trying to find a efficient way of filtering based on a length range of a full name field in my model. E.g the full name is separated as "John-Doe" in the model. John is the first name and Doe is the last name My goal is to find all objects in the model whose first_name is greater than 2 but less than 5. One approach I thought was of adding two additional field in the model called first_name and last_name and running a management command to extract the first_name and last_name and save it in those fields. This is a legacy db. So, there are close to 1million records. number_of_character_filter |= Q(first_name__length__gte=start, first_name__length__lte=end) Is there any other efficient approach I can take to resolve this? -

I can't run a function from the service layer in Django
I am a novice programmer. I'm trying to integrate PayPal IPN into my project, implement recurring subscription payments. I wrote a function that works fine in the console, BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO RUN THIS FUNCTION SO THAT IT WOULD WORK AUTOMATICALLY. The ideal option for me would be if, when the data I need appears in the PayPal table, the IPN function would automatically start and perform the actions I need. For example, when these conditions appear in the table: ipn = PayPalIPN.objects.filter(payment_status='Completed', txn_type='subscr_payment', txn_id__gt=0, mc_currency='USD', payment_gross__gt=0, signal_1=False, pometka_1=False).order_by("-pk")[:20] my function would start, bypass the data in the table and perform the actions that I needed. I have tried such methods: def Proverka_1(): ipn_12 = PayPalIPN.objects.filter(payment_status='Completed', txn_type='subscr_payment', txn_id__gt=0, mc_currency='USD', payment_gross__gt=0, signal_1=False, pometka_1=False).order_by("-pk")[:20] if ipn_12.exists(): return Podpiska() def Proverka_2(): ipn_12 = PayPalIPN.objects.filter(payment_status='Completed', txn_type='subscr_payment', txn_id__gt=0,mc_currency='USD', payment_gross__gt=0, signal_1=False, pometka_1=False).order_by("-pk")[:20] if ipn_12.count() > 0: return Podpiska() def Proverka_3(): ipn_12 = PayPalIPN.objects.filter(payment_status='Completed', txn_type='subscr_payment', txn_id__gt=0, mc_currency='USD', payment_gross__gt=0, signal_1=False, pometka_1=False).order_by("-pk")[:20] if len(ipn_12) > 0: return Podpiska() From the console, the Podpiska() function is launched, and works as expected.

Is it best practice to define a join table for Django many to many relationships?
I have the following code: class Tutors(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=20, default=None, blank=False) #you need to add default none and blank false to enforce the Not-Null constraint last_name = models.CharField(max_length=20, default=None, blank=False) email = models.EmailField(max_length=254,default=None, blank=False) birth_day = models.DateField(auto_now=False, auto_now_add=False, default=False, blank=False) def __str__(self): return(self.first_name + ' ' + self.last_name) class ArtSubjects(models.Model): subject_name = models.CharField(max_length=20, default=None, blank=False) tutors = models.ManyToManyField(Tutors) def __str__(self): return self.subject_name My question is, should I define many to many relationships like this? Or should I define a new class for the table? The reason I ask is that I can get objects from the join table by querying by ArtSubjects class like so - adobeAI.tutors.all() returns <QuerySet [<Tutors: Matt Aird>, <Tutors: Tom John>]> But I can't think of a way for querying the join table by tutors to see what classes an individual tutor teaches. Any advice on this? -
`xhr.getAllHeaders()` is missing some headers in a browser extension context?

Django Chat - Image upload before message on channels
