Sign in with Apple ID in react + django rest framework project
I'm working on the project setup with react + Django rest framework. The error I'm getting now is invalid client. In react, I used 2 packages react-social-login-buttons and react-apple-login button. I used 2 packages to succeed to get code and id_token. Then I sent code and id_token like this: {"code": code_value, "id_token": id_token_value}. But when I call this API, I'm getting the following error. It would be great if anyone could help me. Thanks -
Best practices about serving media efficiently with Nginx + Django in NAS
Having read a bunch of other topics similar to this one, I'm still not sure what would be best. Let's say I have a load balancer with 2 servers which have Nginx + Django, and then a separate database server and 3 storage servers with images and videos. How do I best serve the media files from the 3 storage servers ? What I currently plan to do is keeping my 2 entry points for all the requests. A request for a media file would be authenticated there by Django and then I would use X-accel direct to proxy pass the media request to the storage servers. However, the Nginx docs state this: When NGINX proxies a request, it sends the request to a specified proxied server, fetches the response, and sends it back to the client. Does this mean that the load would be the same for the 2 entry point servers ? This is how I would understand it, which is not very efficient. What I would like to achieve is something like this: Is this possible? I guess the most efficient way performance wise to serve media files would be to remove the app server step, like … -
How to get a count of a value in a ManyToMany field
I have a model called Recipe that is simplified to have a title and category. The category is a ManyToMany field. title = models.CharField(max_length=100) category = models.ManyToManyField(Category, help_text='Select a category') I have another model called Category name = models.CharField(max_length=200, help_text='Enter a baking category') def __str__(self): return self.name There are several categories but for simplicity, let's say we have two: Bread and Cake. How would I query the DB to figure out how many Recipes I have of each category? I've been trying something like this: But that isn't working. I also don't want to explicitly define all the categories I'm looking for since in the future I would add more categories. -
Dango3: problems with onetoone relationship and '...' object has no attribute '...'
I am getting this error, but I don't understand why. I created the Pipeline object and Config object together in the admin view. However, when I go to the list view: 'Pipeline' object has no attribute 'args' I have pretty much the same setup working with other models, so I am not sure why it is not working in this case. It complains that 'Pipeline' has no args model.py: class Pipeline(models.Model): config= models.OneToOneField('Config', on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, parent_link=True) class Config(models.Model): args = models.CharField(max_length=256, null=True, default='-p -q -x -u -l -m -r') pipeline = models.OneToOneField('Pipeline', on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, parent_link=False) admin.py: class ConfigInline(admin.StackedInline): model = Config class PipelineAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): inlines = [ConfigInline] I did the database migrations. -
How to pass arguments when redirecting to another view in Django 3 (Python)
I want to pass variables to my views in django but I get errors... The code is simply attempting to pass text into a view while redirecting. Basically the user will fill out a form, and the content of that form will be displayed on another page. However, if I run the following code, I come across this error: django.urls.exceptions.NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'view2' with arguments '('hi',)' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['view2$'] views.py from django.shortcuts import render, redirect def index(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = MyForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): submit_form(request) else: form = MyForm() return render(request, 'index.html', {'form':form}) def view2(request, text): return render(request, 'page2.html', {'my_text':text}) def submit_form(request): # Just using 'hi' for simplicity return redirect(view2, 'hi') page2.html {% extends "base.html" %} {% block body_block %} {{ my_text }} {% endblock %} urls.py from django.urls import path from . import views urlpatterns = [ path('', views.index, name='index'), path('view2', views.view2, name='view2'), ] I suspect the error is from me doing something wrong in the views.py, but I have not been able to find anything that will work... I've also tried these two lines in the submit_form function, but got the same error return redirect(view2, pn='hi') return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('view2', args=('hi', ))) -
django not rendering custom 403 page, displays browser default instead
I am trying to apply a custom 403 template to display instead of the browser default. I have a Middelware that looks something like this: from django.http import HttpResponseForbidden class CheckUserTypeMiddleware(object): def __init__(self, get_response): self.get_response = get_response def __call__(self, request): if request.user.is_authenticated: allowed_types = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'] user_data = get_some_AD_values if user_data.get('a_key') not in allowed_types: return HttpResponseForbidden() response = self.get_response(request) return response views.py def error_403(request, exception): return render(request, 'my_app/403.html') # I have a 404.html in the same folder as the 403 and that renders fine. urls.py handler403 = 'my_app.views.error_403' settings.py DEBUG = False MIDDLEWARE = [ # Default Django middlewares untouched 'my_app.middleware.my_middleware.CheckUserTypeMiddleware', ] The same process I have above worked for 404 errors, but for some reason, I cant get it to work with 403 errors. -

Update django page from firebase without page refresh
I wanted to make a django page that reads information from firebase, and print it out to my output.html page without having to reload or refresh the page. The data in firebase will be updated while the output.html loads (after a button click), and it will take a few minutes before rendering and redirect to the next page. I have read online that i will have to use AJAX requests in an interval to get the updated data from firebase and display it in the html page. Are there any other suggestions for me to get this done? -

Where to perform database operations on django class based views
I have a django ListView that gets items from my database. In addition to perform this task, I need to insert a record in my database indicating each time that a given user accessed this view. In order to do this, I could override any method that gets called when accessing the view, for example: class MyListView(ListView): def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): insert_record_to_db(self.request.user) return super().get_context_data(**kwargs) Or: class MyListView(ListView): def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs): insert_record_to_db(self.request.user) return super().dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) My question is: is there a best method to override when performing such actions? Why is it so? -

Django / DRF unit testing CI pipeline without PostgreSQL running
Improving my bad testing habits with this new Django / DRF project I'm working on. Reading through the Django testing documentation, the DRF testing documentation, and various other blogs I've come across to figure out how I should be approaching this. One issue I'm trying to resolve is when it comes to running unit tests in the CI pipeline. Locally, I have PostgreSQL running, so testing models, serializers, responses, etc. will work fine. However, in the CI pipeline, I don't. PostgreSQL won't be running until E2E testing which is two stages after my unit tests. It seems like I should still be able to test views, serializers, and models without having a database running. Is there a data faker of some kind that I should be using? Is there a different method for testing this? -
How to display user based on role in Another Model

Looping through a list of 5 elements only get result for 1 element
Sorry to ask this seemly simple question. I encountered a strange behavoir where looping through a list of 5 elements only gets result for 1 element. The code is: print("Size of npa_util is %i" % len(npa_util)) print("nap_util is %s" % npa_util) for (ac, util) in npa_util: print("util.id is %s" % util.id) print("ac.category is %s" % ac.category) print("util.limit is %s" % util.limit) the output is: Size of npa_util is 5 nap_util is [(<AssetClassRestriction: DRV_248_LE_BNS:r>, <IntradayNPARecord: DRV_248_LE_BNS:req_SDC223_1611329111171109:2017/12/01>), (<AssetClassRestriction: DRV_248_LE_BNS:t>, <IntradayNPARecord: DRV_248_LE_BNS:req_SDC223_1611329111171109:2017/12/01>), (<AssetClassRestriction: DRV_248_LE_BNS:e>, <IntradayNPARecord: DRV_248_LE_BNS:req_SDC223_1611329111171109:2017/12/01>), (<AssetClassRestriction: DRV_248_LE_BNS:c>, <IntradayNPARecord: DRV_248_LE_BNS:req_SDC223_1611329111171109:2017/12/01>), (<AssetClassRestriction: DRV_248_LE_BNS:I>, <IntradayNPARecord: DRV_248_LE_BNS:req_SDC223_1611329111171109:2017/12/01>)] util.id is 150 ac.category is r util.limit is [[14691, 999999999999999.0, 4819920.0]] since the number of elements of the list is 5, I expect the lines 3,4,5 output will report 5 times.

Webpack not updating page when I refresh to reflect new code
So I am doing a project using Django and React. I was working on it yesterday and it worked fine, but today after I run the command 'py ./manage.py runserver' along with 'npm run dev', my project loads but whenever I make changes to my code, these changes are not reflected when I update the page.

Django ORM query returns wrong number of items
