Structure such that each column recieves a component
Here is what my Month component looks like essentially a grid with days as columns and hours of the days as rows import React from "react"; export function Month() { const currentDate = new Date(); const days = []; for (let i = 0; i < 7; i++) { const day = new Date(currentDate); day.setDate(currentDate.getDate() + i); days.push(day); } return ( <div className="container justify-content-center "> <div className="row "> <div className="col-md-1">hour</div> <div className="col "> <strong> {new Date().toLocaleDateString("en-US", { weekday: "long" })} </strong>{" "} </div> <div className="col"> <strong> {days[1].toLocaleDateString("en-US", { weekday: "long" })} </strong> </div> <div className="col"> <strong> {days[2].toLocaleDateString("en-US", { weekday: "long" })} </strong> </div> <div className="col"> <strong> {days[3].toLocaleDateString("en-US", { weekday: "long" })} </strong> </div> <div className="col"> <strong> {days[4].toLocaleDateString("en-US", { weekday: "long" })} </strong> </div> <div className="col"> <strong> {days[5].toLocaleDateString("en-US", { weekday: "long" })} </strong> </div> <div className="col"> <strong> {days[6].toLocaleDateString("en-US", { weekday: "long" })} </strong> </div> </div> <div className="row"> <div className="col-md-1">7:00</div> {days.map((day, index) => ( <div className="col pb-5 bg-light border border-dark" key={index}> {day.toLocaleDateString()} </div> ))} </div> <div className="row"> <div className="col-md-1 d-flex">8:00</div> <div className="col pb-5 bg-light border border-dark" style={{ height: "73.33px" }} ></div> <div className="col pb-5 bg-light border border-dark" style={{ height: "73.33px" }} ></div> <div className="col pb-5 bg-light border border-dark" style={{ height: "73.33px" }} … -
Django storing environment variables
I'm making a Django chat project in which all messages are encrypted when sent and decrypted when read. I have this task: “Use a standard cryptographic algorithm (such as AES) to encrypt and decrypt messages. The encryption key must be unique for each user session and stored in a secure location (for example, in environment variables or using a key management system)." I can't figure out how to store the per-session encryption key inside environment variables. My understanding is that static data like the secret key is stored inside environment variables, but it doesn't change on every session. How should I implement the functionality described in the task? -
How to redirect request from Django to FastAPI
I have a Django API and a FastAPI wrapper. Requests will be sent from clients to Django, but I want to redirect them to FastAPI to do some role check (I can't do it in Django for some reasons) then sent it back to Django. For now, I am able to sent request from FastAPI to Django using FastAPI's middleware; but I cannot write a proper middleware for Django to do the same (I am just started with Django for 1 week). Can someone please suggest a solution? -

ImportError when setting wagtail development environment : "cannot import name 'Query' from 'wagtail.search.models'"
I'm currently working on a fork of Wagtail (version 6.0a0) and attempting to set up a development environment for contributing to the project. I've followed the standard steps for setting up the project but have encountered an ImportError when running migrations for a Wagtail-based website. Steps I've Taken: Cloned the forked repository locally. Activated a Python virtual environment for my work. Installed the cloned project using "pip install -e .[testing,docs] -U." Executed "npm ci" and "npm run build" for JavaScript dependencies. Created a new Wagtail website in a separate directory. Ran "python manage.py migrate," and encountered the ImportError. Error Message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "path/to/manage.py", line 10, in ... from wagtail.search.models import Query ImportError: cannot import name 'Query' from 'wagtail.search.models' Additional Information: The released version of Wagtail (version 5.2a0) installs successfully using "pip install wagtail" without any issues.

How to filter ManyToMany field in Django queryset?
I have models: class VideoParameter(models.Model): member = models.ForeignKey(Tag, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING, related_name="parameter_tag") value = models.PositiveIntegerField() class Video(TimeStampedModel): id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False) parameters = models.ManyToManyField(VideoParameter, related_name="video_parameter") url = models.URLField(verbose_name=_('Url')) (I mean that a video have some parameters like Key-Value (ex. {"rabbit": 1, "panda": 1, "lion": 0})) Then I am trying to get the video, specified by query parameter. (like this /video/?rabbit=1&panda=1&lion=0) The SQL code that I want to do is belows: SELECT app_video.id, count(*) AS match_count FROM app_video INNER JOIN app_video_parameters on app_video.id = app_video_parameters.video_id INNER JOIN app_videoparameter ON app_video_parameters.videoparameter_id = app_videoparameter.id WHERE (app_videoparameter.member_id = 1 AND app_videoparameter.value = 0) OR (app_videoparameter.member_id = 9 AND app_videoparameter.value = 1) OR (app_videoparameter.member_id = 11 AND app_videoparameter.value = 1) ...

How to implement caching for tokens in Django Rest Framework and Firebase Auth
I'm building an API using Django Rest Framework and I was thinking about using Firebase for authentication. I have some questions about how to implement the caching layer. **This is how the application works: ** A user logs in using the frontend (React.js), then when I make an API call to DRF and I pass the auth token sent back by Firebase. Using that token, DRF calls Firebase again to retrieve the user, and finally I retrieve the UserProfile for that user in DRF by querying a Postgres db. I want all this operations to result in the least amount of calls to Firebase, hence I was thinking about caching the (user token, user id) pair. However, I have never implemented caching in Django before and would appreciate any guidance. Also, what caching strategy and tool can you recommend me? Thank you -

Representing NFT wallet addresses in Django model fields
I'm building a Django app that involves working with NFTs, and I want to know the best way to represent NFT wallet addresses using a Django model field. NFT wallet addresses are typically hexadecimal strings, but I'm not sure how to design the model field to accommodate them efficiently. I think the best option is a customization of the CharField with a length constraint to store the hexadecimal address. But is there a recommended maximum length for NFT wallet addresses? I'd exclude UUIDField and TextField. I'd appreciate any examples and recommendations. Thank you! -
Django-Tailwind not rebuilding after updating the template files
I did everything the instructions on the package website told me to; when I launch python manage.py tailwind start, it does indeed rebuild the stylesheets and add any new classes, but the issue is, after that, it just doesn't do anything when I add new classes in my templates. I'm not exactly sure what could be the issue with it, as I set everything up like the instruction said. All configs should be the same, and, I think, in the content config in tailwind.config.js, this is the line that's supposed to detect all of my templates: '../../**/templates/**/*.html' (this file is in [project_name]/theme/static_src/tailwind.config.js, my templates are in [project_name]/[app_name]/templates/[app_name]/[template_name].html, so I think it should check out) Actually, from what I've found out, it doesn't seem to detect changes pretty much anywhere, even in its own template files. While testing this out before actually asking in here, I also found out that changing the tailwind.config.js file itself and saving (even just saving without changes) actually does trigger the rebuild process. Although afterwards I found out that this was probably just because it was a config file, so it didn't really help me at all, the most I can get from this is to … -
Djoser override UserCreateSerializer not creating model instance
I've made modifications to the UserCreateSerializer provided by Djoser. Within the perform_create method, I'm attempting to create instances of the UserProfile and AddressDetails models.

Add watchlist to product page
By clicking the Add button, the user should be able to add the product to the watch list. After this, the button should be changed to Remo, and by pressing it, the product will be removed from the list.

Form not valid after setting QuerySet of field in __init__
A new Workorder is created by visiting the Building page and creating a Work Order. This in turn displays the WorkOrderForm on a new page. When viewing this form, I want to display only the equipment associated to a building, not all of the equipment.

PostgreSQL database migration problem from my Django project to AWS Elastic Beanstalk
I've just finalised my project based on **Django ** and **PostgreSQL ** *locally * on my Windows 10 machine. When migrating to AWS Elastic Beanstalk using pgAdmin 4, I'm having problems with the database. Despite my efforts to deploy the project with its data, the database on AWS does not contain any of the information previously stored locally. I followed the recommended steps to export my PostgreSQL database with pgAdmin 4 and successfully deployed my Django project on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. However, I can't find the data in the AWS database. I tried to export my PostgreSQL database from pgAdmin 4 as a backup file. Then I imported this file into my AWS database. I expected all my data, such as tables, records, etc., to be copied from my local database to the database on AWS. I checked the permissions and configurations to make sure the login details were correct, but the data doesn't seem to have transferred correctly to the database on AWS. What steps have I missed or what specific configurations are required to ensure the complete transfer of data from my local database to AWS Elastic Beanstalk? -
how to save user progress?
I'm building a learning spoken languages website where the users get to guess pictures, and I'm using Django and React. How to make each user have its own data or, in other words, how to make each user have its own progress? What do I need in Django to do this? I have a solution which is to add a user column in the model I want to save the progress of, and when someone register, an instance of that model will be created. But in this way if I have so many users, I will have a huge database, does anyone know if there is a better way to do that? -
