Bootstrap Card Shrinks after Search Button Clicked
I am pretty new to Boostrap, I've mainly been doing backend stuff, but am now doing front end work. I have a feature where the user searches a place and a list of nearby venues pops up. I'd like these to pop up in a card. I am using bootstrap cards. At the moment I have 2 problems: On load there is just this big card sitting there all clumsy: When I execute a search the card snaps down to a tiny scrollable version and all the content divs (map/card) seem to drop down a tad. I can probably figure out the javascript needed to make the card appear only when search occurs but I don't know how to set the card at a standard height after search (and prevent the divs from shifting slightly). What I'd like to achieve is a standard height for the card after search. Here is the for the initial card: <div class="card" style="width: 18rem;"> <div class="card-body"> <h5 class="card-title">Places Nearby</h5> <div id="cafes"> <div id="cafe_list"></div> </div> </div> </div> Here is the html for the function that generates the list: <div class="cafe-details d-flex"> <ul> {% for cafe in cafes %} <li> <address> <div> <h6 class="cafe-name" data-id="{{ cafe.id … -

What is the benefit of learning sql over sqlalchemy?
I was reading this: Using and connecting application through an ORM (Object Relational Mapper) like SQLAlchemy, Django ORM and so on is easier, faster, and more efficient than writing SQL - which means, more likely, it is preferred by the team. Good to have it in your skillset! So, I guess I would work with these platforms easier than the based ones? Can someone explain more smoothly? -
DEADLINE IS NEAR - NOTIFICATION
I'm doing a django-project that manages some projects. Each project has its deadline, and I'd like to implement the fact that when the deadline is in 3 days for example, the system sends a notification to the employee that is working on that project. I haven't decided if the notification should be sent as an email to the worker, or if it should be a notification sent to the worker's profile on my webapp. Could you give me some advice for which is the best way? And in either case how could i do it? Should I use celery or cron-job or something else? -

How to define multiple serializers in a django mixin?
I'm currently writing views to display my objects. But in those views, I want to have some query parameters to filter my objects. I'm using drf-yasg to generate the schema and django-rest-framework for the views. So for example I have this serializer for the filter data: class IceCreamFilterSerializer(serializers.Serializer): start = serializers.DateField() and I have this view: @method_decorator(name='list', decorator=swagger_auto_schema( manual_parameters=[openapi.Parameter('start', openapi.IN_QUERY, type=openapi.TYPE_STRING)] )) class IceCream(ListModelMixin, GenericViewSet): serializer_class = IceCreamSerializer def get_queryset(self): filter_data = IceCreamFilterSerializer(data=self.request.query_params) start = filter_data['start'] qs = IceCream.objects.filter(created__gte=start) return qs This works okay, but then I want to implement this method to my other views. So I want to create a Mixin so that I can inherit the Mixin in the view classes. But the problem is, how do I define the input and output serializer in the Mixin? Do I have to override get_serializer_class there? Note: I know I can use FilterSet from DRF to filter, but I feel like this method is the better way for my case. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance! -

Django don't refresh site when form is invalid
I am currently developing a website for which I use a lot of modals with forms in them. The thing is, every time I enter invalid information in a form field and press the submit button, the modal just closes and there is no indication that the form was invalid. I already know that there is the possibility of making an ajax request which sends the form data to another view which then responds with a JSONResponse that contains errors which can then be displayed. That would work but by doing that I would lose all benefits of django forms. Because I have to submit the form data as JSON, I cant use functions like form.is_valid. So my question is: Is there a way to not refresh the site when a invalid form is submitted and displaying errors without having to send the data via JSON?
