How to add Leaflet extensions (marker, basemap, geocoder, ...) to Django Leaflet-Map-Widget?
I set up a Django-Project with a Leaflet Map. Basically I want to fill some Input fields, draw a line on the map and then save it to admin. I created a model with different input fields. I created a form with the same fields and a "widgets = {'geom': LeafletWidget()}". In my template and view I am able to fill the input fields and draw a line on the map and then save it to django-admin/database. So far so good. BUT now I want to add more layers to the map. And I want to add some extensions like markers, geocoder for address search or layer control options. In my template I loaded the map like this: {{form.geom}} After that I tried to add the extensions like this: <script type="text/javascript"> function map_init_basic (map, options) { L.marker([51.1963, 14.3947]).addTo(map); } ... but the marker is not added to the map. If I change "map" to "id_geom-map" (as referred to in the online view) same result. Not added. I am able to set up the map manually (not a part of the form) like this at the end of the template: {% leaflet_map "map" callback="window.map_init_basic" %} ... and then I can add … -
My Flutter frontend on FlutLab does not see my Django backend on Repl.it
I am trying (unsuccessfully) to get data from my django backend, developed on repl.it, to my flutter frontend, developed on FlutLab. On Flutter side, I get data successfully from, for example, https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users. On Django side, I render my data normally and get data by Postman, also without problem. But if my frontend send get() request directly to backend, I see just my circular indicator. My URL on Flutter/Dio looks like Response response = await Dio().get("https://djangobackend.myaccountname.repl.co/"); My ALLOWED_HOSTS on Django looks like ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['djangobackend.myaccountname.repl.co', '0.0.0.0:3000', 'localhost', '127.0.0.1', 'xx.xx.xx.xx'] Here 'xx.xx.xx.xx' is my IP address. Actually I have no idea which host I need to use in this case, so, I just added all I could think of. Is it possible to get data from my backend to frontend in this case and how to do it if yes? If I need another IDE, please let me know. The limitation is: I can use online IDE only. I also can provide more details if necessary. All ideas are highly appreciated! -

How to efficiently update nested objects in Django Serializer

Here is an example: PartySerializer(Model.serializers) def update(self, instance, validated_data): instance.name = validated_data.get('name', instance.name) event_date = validated_data.get('event_date', instance.event_date) time_start = validated_data.get('time_start', instance.time_start) time_end = validated_data.get('time_end', instance.time_end) main_color = validated_data.get('main_color', instance.main_color) is_age_limited = validated_data.get('is_age_limited', instance.is_age_limited) is_open_bar = validated_data.get('is_open_bar', instance.is_open_bar) is_open_food = validated_data.get('is_open_food', instance.is_open_food) description = validated_data.get('description', instance.description) location = validated_data.get('location', instance.location) category = validated_data.get('category', instance.category) Is there any cleaner and more efficient approach ? -

Save baseball innings pitched decimal
I don’t really even know where to begin with this. I have a Django form in which I am saving baseball stats to my database. The problem I an having is with innings pitched. In baseball, innings are measured in thirds but instead of .33, .66, .99, each third is represented as .1, .2, .0 For example a pitcher could throw 5 innings, 5.1, 5.2, 6. How can store and manipulate data this way? Thanks for your help. -
Checking duplicate objects before saving
Good day SO: How to check if items are duplicate before saving? I got an answer similar to my question but I need to add a validation also who created the item. The answer that I am currently using is from this SO Answer by @dokkaebi. It is currently working, however, if other users also created the same record, I would like them to be able to do so. Only limit this to the current user. What I did was: def clean(self, *args, **kwargs): cleaned_data = super().clean() job_title = cleaned_data.get("job_title") others = cleaned_data.get("others") matching_job_item = PropositionItem.objects.filter(job_title=job_title, others=others) if self.instance: matching_job_item = matching_job_item.exclude(pk=self.instance.pk, status="0") if matching_job_item.exists(): msg = u"Job Tile: %s has already exist." % job_title raise forms.ValidationError(msg) else: return self.cleaned_data What I want: User A can't create a duplicate item while User B can create what user A created but only once. -
Firebase authentication and Backend server
I have a front-end React web app, and I am using Firebase authentication for the authentication. On the back-end I am using Django with Firebase admin to verify the Firebase user token. Could you help me understand these points: The front-end web app is sending the current Firebase user's token with the request header, and the back-end is verifying the request's authorization header token. Since the Firebase admin SDK verifies it with the public key it downloads from the google's server, and it lasts for 24 hours. Does this mean that there won't be any performance difference with every front-end request as Firebase admin will not request Google API for the verification for 24 hours? For my class models with user object and its related items (e.g.: User object, Post, Photos, etc), do I store the primary key as the Firebase user's UID? If not how should I query for the items of a user? Any help of suggestions are appreciated! Thank you. -

Django website can't obtain client IP through request.META
I am building a Django website that deployed on the Lightsail server. I followed this instruction https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/infrastructure/django/get-started/deploy-django-project/ and the website deployed successfully. I want to obtain the clients IP address, and I found this post on StackOverflow How do I get user IP address in django? The IP address I obtained from request.META.['REMOTE_ADDR'] is the Lightsail server IP address, not the client IP address. And I cannot get anything from request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'), since there is no 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR' key in the request.

Django passthrough API request to hide credentials
