Node Js vs Django
I am just a 14 year old trying to learn web development I am fairly good with Django. And I recently heard of Node Js is it worth learning Node Js. Well, I wanted to make a live chatting website I wanted to know which would be better at making it. I also checked Firebase's real-time NoSQL Database as well but I heard some as it's not good when the project gets bigger. So is node js really worth learning? -

adding many to many relations is producing an empty queryset
I have a model called Occurrence with a number of foreign key and manytomany relationships (i've only shown a few fields here). I am having issues when attempting to create any manytomany relation to an Occurrence instance after I have loaded bulk data to my postgres (postgis) database using the sqlalchemy engine. Before this upload of data I can make relations as usual with: Occurrence.objects.get(ind='1010106').minmat.add(Material.objects.get(code='Li')) I then check the relation was successful with: Occurrence.objects.get(ind='1010106').minmat.all() which returns a queryset of all the relations. I have dropped the database and after a fresh migrations everything worked as it should, but once I reloaded the data which consists of tables up to 150,000 rows, I am no longer able to create these relations. No errors occur, but no additions are mad to the model instance after running add(). Here is the model: class Occurrence(models.Model): ind = models.CharField(max_length=14, blank=False, null=False, primary_key=True) majmat = models.ManyToManyField(Material, related_name="majmat_occurrence", blank=True,) geom = models.PointField(srid=4202) def __str__(self): return self.ind class Material(models.Model): code = models.CharField(max_length=6, primary_key=True) name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=False, null=False) category = models.ManyToManyField(MaterialCategory, related_name="category_material", blank=True) def natural_key(self): return self.name Everything works properly before loading the data, so I assume the issue lies with loading the data outside of django, but … -

Django wont import pages app to urls file
While I was following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5mRW0jo-U4&t=3838s I was trying to customize the home page of my django project by creating a new project called pages by doing python manage.py startapp pages the only edit I made to this app was in the view.py file by doing this But whenever I try to reference this file in the urls.py file in the trdjango folder it gives me an import error like this This is really frustrating because I am new to this web framework and I was following the tutorial exactly and yet I still get this error Does anyone know why it isn't recognizing the import or how I would fix this? -
Django - don't post that specific form if left blank
I am building on the learning django tutorial (relatively new to both python and django), with a page where a user can create a question and some optional polls for users to vote on. I have a standard 4 options for choices, right now they are each a separate 'form' that will submit that choice to the question. Only issue is I would like to make it so if that specific one is left blank, the others will be submitted but that one will not. Right now when I try and leave it blank it says it is a required field and I am unable to submit. Is there any way around this? I have tried to change put before validation that the field is not required, but since I cannot submit, it does not hit that logic. The way the form is laid out right now has multiple forms inside, one for the question and 4 for choices, and all are wrapped within one form in the html. -

Create object if doesn't exist when calling it by related_name
NOTE: I'm aware of get_or_create and it does not apply here. I have a Django app with a lot of users. One of my project apps must keep some kind of user preferences relating to this app, so in its' models.py I've created: [models.py] class UserPreferences(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey( get_user_model(), related_name='adminpanel_preferences' ) ... (more boolean fields, integer choices etc) I don't want to use signals for creating a UserPreferences objects every time new user is being created. My idea was to only create an object when such object is somehow requested. This might sound like a perfect get_or_create use case, however I need to call this object from a template using the related_name e.g: [template.html] {% if request.user.adminpanel_preferences.hardcore_mode_enabled %} ... {% endif %} And while normally the request.user.adminpanel_preferences would return UserPreferences.None, I want it to silently create the object (using default field values) instead. Is there a possibility to achieve such behavior without interfering the User model? The UserPreferences are not global app preferences, they only refer to this particular app and I'd love to keep these two independent. I have also tried using a custom objects manager with customized get_queryset method but it doesn't seem to work when using …
