How do I re-run npm build in React and Django?
So I'm learning React and Django, and executed npm run build to run the React App in my Django server (port 8000). Then I turned the React app off(ctrl+C), and now I'm trying to run it again. So I thought I should execute npm run build again, but it didn't work. I have the Django server running, but I have no idea how to start the React app. I know this may sound unclear, but this is the best I can explain as a beginner. How do I turn the React app back on? -

How do I get data from a form while the user is typing in his data? Django/Python
I have a problem I am currently working on. Really new to django and python. What I am trying to do is I have a form where the user can rent a parking lots for a certain period of time. I want to be able to dynamically calculate the value of the price based on the time the user selects and show this to the user. Meaning that price x time selected will generate a price that the user should be able to see. I do have the view ready and started with a function to calculate the price, but I got stuck really fast since I can't come up with how to get the user input data before the form, where the data is entered, is submited. Below you see the view i wrote to this: def list_parking_lots(request): """ View for all parking lots :param request: request from user :return: rendered parking_mgmt/list_parking_lots.html """ parking_lots = ParkingLot.objects.all() form = ReservationForm() if request.method == 'POST': form = ReservationForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): form.save() messages.success(request, 'Your reservation was successfully registered.') form = ReservationForm() return render(request, 'parking_mgmt/list_parking_lots.html', {'parking_lots': parking_lots, 'form': form}) Any help is appreciated. -

How do I query dynamically(?) in Django?
I'm not sure the title makes sense, so let me elaborate more. So in my Django project, each user has his own list with random integers like this : numList = [1, 3, 4, 8, 10] And I have a model names Question, which looks like this: class Question(models.Model): question_number = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True) title = models.CharField(max_length = 20, default="") # And so on Now I want to query Question objects that match the numbers in the list in my views.py. def getQuestions(request): numList = [2, 3, 4, 1, 8] # this list contains random integers every time the function is called. questionsList = [] for i in range(0, len(numList)): eachQuestion = Question.objects.filter(question_number=numList[i]) questionsList.append(eachQuestion.values()) i = i + 1 # And so on This is as far as I got. And this actually is inappropriate, because what I want is queryset, not list. How do I get queryset of questions that match the numbers in numList? Thank you very much in advance. -
Django dynamic fields view
This post answers how to dynamically return a subset of fields based on the field section in the URL. This is done by creating a dynamic serializer. This works great against a ModelViewSet, but will this affect the query to the database in any way, or will it still query all the fields, and then only the selected fields are returned to the client? If it is the later, is it possible to make it so that the query to the database is only for the specific fields if any is provided, or will I have to create a view for each query I wish to make? -

AJAX in fail to send
I want to send a POST request using AJAX with jQuery function. The request is sent to my Django server when I click the button. Here is the code: $(document).ready(function(){ $('#addToCart').click(function() { var productId = $('#productId').val(); alert(1) $.ajax({ url: 'hello', type: 'post', success: function(data) { alert('success'); }, error: function(data) { alert('Got an error dude'); } }); }); }); I get the '1' alert, but after that nothing happens... I've also tried this: $.ajax({ url: 'hello', type: 'post', success: function(data) { alert('success'); }, error: function(data) { alert('Got an error dude'); } }); So not inside click or ready functions and it works. when I refresh the window I get the alert 'successs'.

Installing virtualenv 20.0.33 on a webhost without root access
All similar questions and instructions I have found, are for versions up to 16.2.0. I tried using the instructions from 16.2.0 The file used to install, was pypa-virtualenv-YYYYY/src/virtualenv.py but version 20.0.33 does not contain the file virtualenv.py. I can't find any other newer instructions where there is no pip, no pipx, no easy_install and no root access. Is it still possible? Is there perhaps a different method? I want to use django in a virtual environment. My webhost will not install django nor do they support it but if I can manage to do so without root access, they appear OK with me doing so. -
