Tom-Select as Django Widget
I would like to use tom-select as an Django autocomplete select-widget. In the corresponding database table (Runners) are several hundred rows, so that I can't load all into the html page. In the model RaceTeam I have a ForeignKey to Runner. The select widget will be used in whole pages and in html fragments (via htmx). I tried subclass django.forms.Select, but this sucks all db rows into widget.choices. -

How to pass a token to views that require authentication in django rest framework
I have an app that stores users and their posts. To view the page of a user, I want it to require authentication for a given user. I'm not quite sure how to implement this because before without DRF, I'd just check if the current user was the same as the id requested in the url like page/users/10. DRF generates tokens for each user which I have specified when they register with this: class RegisterView(generics.GenericAPIView): serializer_class = RegisterSerializer def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): serializer = self.get_serializer(data=request.data) serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True) user = serializer.save() return Response({ "user": UserSerializer(user, context=self.get_serializer_context()).data, "token": Token.objects.get(user=user).key }) Each token keys to a user like here: What I am wondering is how can I get each of these tokens to be used to authenticate the user. If the user logs in with his account, how will I be able to get the token and then pass it to the restricted views? -
How to render fields with many-to-many relationship on django templates
I am using generic views in Django-3.2 where I have a many-to-many relationship. I am trying to put the names of all the authors for a book as a string on a template. The model is like this: class Book(models.Model): book_name = models.CharField(max_length=200) author = models.ManyToManyField(Author) The Author class has a field called author_name which is also returned from the __str__ method. The generic view class that I am using is like this: class BookView(generic.DetailView): model = Book template_name = 'books/book.html' I tried using <span>{{ book.author }}</span> which produced books.Author.None. Later, I tried using <span>{{ book.author.author_name }}</span>, and this didn't retrieve any result. I didn't get an error in either of the cases. How do I put the data on the template for such many-to-many field? -

Can pytest-django completely replace Django built-in test
I prefer to use pytest for writing all of my tests. I don't really like the unittest-style that the django.test offers, and I'm sure I'm not the only one... I made the switch to pytest years ago, and have never looked back! However, now I'm working my way through the Django tutorials, and have reached the testing section, and would like to use pytest instead of django.test. So far, it seems that pytest-django would be the perfect tool for the job! This blog post makes a good argument for using pytest-django, and it seems like I would be able to test my entire Django application using pytest-django. My question is: Can I completely forego using django.test and use pytest-django instead? Or, will there be some parts of my application that I would need to test using django.test? -
