Django: How to get the latest X related-object by criteria, and keep other fields?
I have a case of Authors followed by a User, that I want to sort by their latest published Book, as well as display the book's title and release_date. Authors also have books with a release_date in the future, which I want to keep out of the result-set. I need to return JSON since Django is being used only for backend. After some research the best I've gotten is this: relevant_books = Book.objects.filter(author=OuterRef("pk"), release_date__range=[back_delta, startdate], author__id__in=user_follows).order_by("-release_date") user_authors_with_books = Author.objects.filter(id__in=user_follows) \ .annotate(latest_release_date=Subquery(relevant_books.values("release_date")[:1])) \ .annotate(latest_release_title=Subquery(relevant_books.values("title")[:1])) \ .filter(latest_release_date__isnull=False) \ .order_by(F("latest_release_date").desc(nulls_last=True), "id") \ .values(*fields_to_return, "latest_release_date", "latest_release_title") I'm not a big fan of annotating twice, and have a feeling there's a better way to write this Django ORM code for a quicker/more-efficient (PostgreSQL) query. Am I right? -
Django migration not picking up all the model fields
I created a new Django project on Windows 10, with the latest python and Django. After creating the model with a number of tables/models on one model it skipped some fields. After retrying it would not create a new migration script. I looked at the initial 0001_initial.py and the fields were missing in that file. I later added a single new field and that field migrated property but not the missing fields. All other models were successfully updated in the initial migration. This happens to be a SQLite DB. The model that is missing fields: class articles(models.Model): """ articles""" title = models.CharField (max_length=500) teaser = models.CharField (max_length=500) summary = models.CharField (max_length=1500) byline = models.CharField (max_length=250) category = models.SmallIntegerField articlenote = models.CharField (max_length=1000) author = models.CharField publishedDate = models.DateTimeField articleStatus = models.CharField(max_length=4) articleText = models.TextField last_update= models.DateTimeField def str(self): return self.name The missing fields are : category, author, publishedDate, articleText Interesting after trying to rerun the migration I was getting Missing Defaults errors on a new table I was creating. Since this is a brand new project I can just blow away the database and the migration scripts and try again. I would like to knwo what is potentially causing this … -
"django.core.exceptions.ValidationError: ['“post_id” is not a valid UUID.']" with seemingly valid UUID
This is a simple blog app I am creating. I have a model that creates an article and generates a UUID for each article created. This functions as expected. I am now attempting to create a view variable that contains the "post_id" object from my model "Post" so that I can later insert this variable into my html template. The confusing thing is I know the Post model generates a valid UUID (at least my understand of UUIDs) as I have seen it generated so I am unclear where to start looking to resolve this issue. Other similar issues online do not seem to be related to my issue. myapp/views.py from django.shortcuts import render from django.utils import timezone from .models import Post def blog_list(request): posts = Post.objects.filter(published_date__lte=timezone.now()).order_by('published_date') post_uid = Post.objects.get(pk="post_id") context = { "post_uid": post_uid, "posts": posts } return render(request, 'blog/blog_list.html', context) def article(request, post_id): current_article = Post.objects.get(pk=post_id) return render(request, 'blog/article.html', {'current_article':current_article}) myapp/model.py from django.db import models from django.conf import settings from django.utils import timezone import uuid class Post(models.Model): author = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE) title = models.CharField(max_length=200) text = models.TextField() created_date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now) published_date = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True) post_id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False) def publish(self): self.published_date = timezone.now() self.save() def __str__(self): return … -
How to add a line chart for the table visualization and add a drop down in a Django Project?
I have a Django project and I have a model that contains data. Now I want to make a visualization for the data of that model(table) with "line chart"(or other). I also want to add a 'drop down' option so that I can select different options from it and change the line chart automatically. -
Binding specific foreign key to ModelForm
My ModelForm is working but the problem is it currently gives acct_no a dropdown of all customers in the database. this is the workflow currently. So I select a customer profile and add a new job from that profile page. But when the form populates, it is not bound to that customer. I do not want to give them the option to select from a list of customers. Is there a way to automatically bind the form with that specific customer? I'm fairly new to Django and have tried looking at the form docs but I think I'm missing something. models.py class Customers(models.Model): acct_no = models.AutoField(db_column='ACCT_NO', primary_key=True) type = models.CharField(db_column='Type', max_length=45) first_name = models.CharField(db_column='FIRST_NAME', max_length=45, blank=True, null=True) last_name = models.CharField(db_column='LAST_NAME', max_length=45, blank=True, null=True) address = models.CharField(db_column='ADDRESS', max_length=100, blank=True, null=True) class Jobs(models.Model): id = models.IntegerField(db_column='ID', primary_key=True) job_type = models.CharField(db_column='JOB_TYPE', max_length=45, blank=True, null=True) estimatedate = models.CharField(db_column='EstimateDate', max_length=45, blank=True, null=True) estimatetime = models.CharField(db_column='EstimateTime', max_length=45, blank=True, null=True) comments = models.CharField(db_column='COMMENTS', max_length=255, blank=True, null=True) forms.py class JobForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Jobs fields = ['acct_no', 'job_type', 'estimatedate', 'estimatetime', 'comments'] widgets = { 'job_type' : forms.Select(choices = JOBS, attrs={'class' : 'form-control form-select'}), 'estimatedate' : widgets.DateInput(attrs={'type' : 'date', 'class' : 'form-control'}), 'estimatetime' : widgets.TimeInput(attrs={'type' : 'time', 'class' … -

Django - Bypass loading code in the apps.ready function when making migrations or migrating to the database
For starters, I have searched for this before with no luck to find something around this. Background: I have created an inventory application for work to help my team be able to quickly see stats around our IT infrastructure. I have threads kicked off when the application loads to kick off some scraping functions. That code works great, but it happens whenever I create and apply database migrations (manage.py makemigrations & manage.py migrate). Goal: I'd like to only kick off the scraping code when I'm issuing the runserver command (manage.py runserver). This way, I don't have resources competing between the migration activities and the scraping activities. It also often generates lots of errors because sometimes not all of the database models/fields exist in the database yet. Ideas: Modify the code in the django repository to introduce a flag that I can then check against before I have the scraping code run. Not recommended This will get overwritten when I update django, and it won't persist between my dev server and prod server. Find a way to check which command is being run with the manage.py, and introduce a check to only start scraping if that command is run. Recommended This … -
Where to put a background task and how to be able to still debug
I have an almost model-less django app running, that collects infos from some API calls and displays them on a frontend via DRF. At some point I need to start calling this other API after django started and in debugging I face the problem of an unresponsive console, as soon as I activate the server via runserver command. My service so to say vastly looks like this: class APISERVICE(object): def __init__(self): self.time_now = datetime.datetime.now() self.sDATA = ServerAPI("https", settings.API_URL, settings.API_USR, settings.API_PWD) threading.Thread(target = self.worker, kwargs = {"interval": 10, "function": self.pollAPI}).start() def worker(self, interval, function): while True: function() time.sleep(interval) def pollAPI(self): try: self.time_since_last_run = (self.time_now - self.time_old).seconds except Exception as E: self.time_since_last_run = 20 if self.time_since_last_run >= 20: self.time_old = datetime.datetime.now() data = self.sDATA ... Two Questions arise: the serivce should run "forever" and therefore I thought about just calling it from inside the views.py or the apps urls.py. Why is that good/bad? When instantiated the console can not stop the execution any more in debug mode via CTRL + C - I suspect this is due to the sleep command. How can I avoid this without installing something like celary or django-background-tasks? -
JS music player error : "TypeError: 'arguments', 'callee', and 'caller' cannot be accessed in this context"
I have a music player inside a Django app, written in JQuery, the user track files get uploaded into a AWS S3 bucket, I'm then trying to fetch the data from a REST API to get the mp3 link into the music.js code, when the app runs locally it works fine when loading tracks but after deployed to Heroku the tracks don't load, the music player just seems to be stuck on loading. I'm also getting an error in the Array prototype - construction function() in the console : "TypeError: 'arguments', 'callee', and 'caller' cannot be accessed in this context". here is the jquery code for the music player notice the top fetch async function populates the trackUrl array with the mp3 link, it also fetches the track name and artist name, How can I fix this?: music.js $(function () { async function getUserTracks() { try { await fetch("https://sound-city.herokuapp.com/music/music_all/?format=json") .then(res => res.json()) .then(data => { for (item of data) trackNames.push(item['title']), trackUrl.push(item['track']), albums.push(item['artist_name']) console.log(trackNames, trackUrl, albums) }) } catch(error) { console.error(error) } } getUserTracks(); function createAlbumId() { setTimeout(function () { let number = 0; for (let i = 0; i < trackUrl.length; i++) { number++; albumArtworks.push(`_${number}`); // console.log(albumArtworks); } }, 100) … -
How to uninstall django-rest-swagger?
Is there a simple or elegant way to uninstall django-rest-swagger on Windows 10? I've recently started developing API's and creating documentation. I found a tutorial that used the django-rest-swagger app. After installing the app and doing more reading, I discovered that it was deprecated, and the developer's GitHub page recommends using drf-yasg. I tried using "pip uninstall django-rest-swagger," and that echoed back that the app was uninstalled. But, when I went into the virtual environment folder of the project, all the package folders were still there. I also tried "pipenv uninstall django-rest-swagger", but it returned "pipenv is not recognized..." I spent a few hours reading the app docs, and googling "how to remove/ uninstall django-rest-swagger." However, I didn't find anything useful. Eventually, I gave up, and decided to do it the hard way. I manually deleted all the installed files. Fortunately, I hadn't updated my requirements.txt, so, I knew what was originally installed. While this solution worked, it was somewhat time consuming. Does django-rest-swagger have an internal uninstall command? And does anyone know why "pip uninstall" didn't remove the app folders? Thanks -
Django - Pass multiple parameters from in a form action
I want to pass 3 values from my Template which are id, size & request.user template.html <form action='{{ id }}/{{ size }}/{{ request.user }}' method='GET'> . . <form> urls.py path("<id>/<size>/<user_name>", views.add_to_cart) That is what I have in mind which does not work for sure, so I wonder if there is a way to call a specific URL and then pass in some parameters which I can then use in my views.py file to query a specific object using the id from the database and edit something, I guess something like the following might explain what I mean: ./cart?id=00003,size='M',user=admin So is there a way to do this in Django, my bad if the question is dummie its first time I study back-end. -

How to render a table in Django from a class with manytomanyfield for all fields selected for an instance?
I am struggling to render a table view in Django 3.2 that will display data from instance of a class: class SalesPlan(models.Model): customer = models.OneToOneField(Customer, null=True, on_delete=RESTRICT) period = models.DateField() product = models.OneToOneField(Product, null=True, on_delete=RESTRICT) qty = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2, null=True) classes for customer and product: class Customer(models.Model): customer_code = models.CharField(max_length=6, primary_key=True, unique=True) customer_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) belongs_to_sales_channel = models.ForeignKey(SalesChannel, on_delete=RESTRICT) customer_portfolio = models.ManyToManyField(Product) date_created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, null=True) class Product(models.Model): product_group = models.ForeignKey(ProductGroup, on_delete=RESTRICT) product_subgroup = models.ForeignKey(ProductSubGroup, on_delete=RESTRICT) item_code = models.CharField(max_length=5, primary_key=True) item_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) unit_of_measure = models.CharField(max_length=10) product_weight = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=3) product_weight_text = models.CharField(max_length=10) I have tried a function based view and class based view. A class based view gives me one line for one product, since SalesPlan class is set like that. Is there a way to render rows for each product in Customer.customer_portfolio.all() with all data already set and only with quantity for a user to input? I have searched for similar examples, all I found is what I already have: class based view can display a form, for one instance (only one row). I failed using formset, I am currently researching if it's possible using a formset. -

Django custom authentication backend - "is_valid" calls authenticate
I am doing my custom auth backend for the first time, and it generally works, but i fail to understand a thing or two and there is some unwanted behaviour in my view. Basically i just wanted to add an additional mandatory field - domain name which would have to be filled in (or choosen) on login.

Django - alter objects from different apps
