how to connect model instance in django
Code Description I have a model called Hospital who is the the user having OneToOne relationship with the user model. the Hospital Model is like a profile for the user. I have another model called patient which has a Foreginkey relation with the User like a One to many relationship. This means the user model can have many patient. I have another model called Card which has a OnoToOne relationship with the Patient and a foreignKey relationship with the Usermodel. this means a patient can have one card and that particular card can only belong to one patient and also the card belongs to the hospital not just the patient thats why i added a foreign key to relationship to the user model. I have another Model called Diagnoses which also have a ForiegnKey relation with the PatientModel and a foreignkey relationship with the User model because the diagnoses is not just for the patient but also the hospital. This means a patient has a card, and can have many diagnoses. Using this method, successfully, a user can have many patient. Now my problem is, when a user want to create a new card or diagnoses for a specific patient, … -

How to get total amount per year-month for certain category in DetailView, Django?
I have a table with expenses categories and when I click on the certain category it redirects me to this DetailView page. Then I want to show the year-month costs summary for chosen category to look similiar to this what I already got (summary per year-month but not for certain category). How can I achieve that? This is what I got for now and got stucked: def category_summary(): summary_by_year_month = Expense.objects.annotate( month=TruncMonth('date')).values('date').annotate( amount=Sum('amount')).order_by() return summary_by_year_month MODELS.PY class Category(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True) def __str__(self): return f'{self.name}' class Expense(models.Model): class Meta: ordering = ('date', '-pk') category = models.ForeignKey(Category, null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) name = models.CharField(max_length=50) amount = models.DecimalField(max_digits=8, decimal_places=2) date = models.DateField(default=datetime.date.today, db_index=True) def __str__(self): return f'{self.date} {self.name} {self.amount}' The most confusing part about this problem for me is how can I retrieve this information only for chosen category and show it to user in DetailView?

Pass request.user to dispatch method
Env: Python 3.6, Django 3.0, DRF 3.11, JWT Authorization Hello everybody. I have a simple class in my API where I want to check user permissions in each method get, pass etc. I planned to check user privileges at dispatch but it doesn't work.

413 Request Entity Too Large - Regular Fix Not Working

Django: Use JSON and requests in my django app
I am using JSON, re and requests to get the number of followers from an instagram page: import json import re import requests PROFILE = 'espn' response = requests.get('https://www.instagram.com/' + PROFILE) json_match = re.search(r'window\._sharedData = (.*);</script>', response.text) profile_json = json.loads(json_match.group(1))['entry_data']['ProfilePage'][0]['graphql']['user'] print(profile_json['edge_followed_by']['count']) I am wondering how I can then add this to my django project to use that number to display on my website, updating each time someone vists the page to reflect the dynamic number. I had a look around but I dont really understand where you would add this code. I would image it would be added in the views section to then be rendered in the html page but not sure what the format would be. The view for the page I would like it to be used for example is View.py: def index(request): post = Post.objects.all()[0] recent_posts = Post.objects.all()[1:4] latest_posts = Post.objects.all()[:5] data = {"post":post, "recent_posts":recent_posts, "latest_posts":latest_posts} return render(request, 'index.html', data) Also as an extra question - how would the process differ if I was using a Generic Class-Based view vs a function view. Thank you very much. -

Django 3. Having trouble passing dropdown menu selection from .html to forms
I'm still new to Django (2 weeks or so). I've been struggling the past few days with passing a string from an html file to forms. My project lets the user choose a state from a dropdown menu (Michigan and Ohio for now, I'll add the rest later). When the state is selected, it will take that string and pull a list of counties of that state from a spreadsheet. This is where the problem lies. I've searched far and wide and I just can't seem to find a solution. The major holdback to many of these solutions is I don't want to "submit" with a button. I want the user to "select" a state, then select a county without a page refresh. I've also included a screenshot of the webpage. So far the dependent dropdowns work perfectly thanks to a youtube tutorial. The "submit" button in the picture is cosmetic for now. Thanks in advance for helping out. Let me know if you have any questions regarding models or anything else regarding the code. views.py def StateForm_Page(request): context = {} stateChoice = 'Michigan' //hardcode a state so if the post fails, the function can still find an excel sheet … -
Django - How do I get the files submitted to a form?

I want to create an object with the data obtained from the form, and I can do that for all fields except the FileFields.

Architecture suggestions - How to implement autoscaled async tasks
We have a large application, which uses django as an ORM, and celery as a task running infrastructure. We run complex pipelines triggered by events (user driven or automatic), which look something like this: def pipeline_a: # all lines are synchronous, so second line must happen after first is finished successfully first_res = a1() all_results = in_parallel.do(a2, a3, a4) a5(first_res, all_results) We wish to run a1, a2, ... on different machines (each task may need different resources), and the number of parallel running pipelines is always changing. Today we use celery which is super convenient for implementing the above - but isn't suitable for auto-scaling (we hacked it to work with kubernetes, but it doesn't have native support with it). Mainly the issues I want to solve are: How to "run the next pipeline step" only after all previous ones are done (I may not know in advance which steps will be run - it depends on the results of previous steps, so the steps are dynamic in nature) Today we try and use kubernetes (EKS) to autoscale some of the tasks (SQS queue size is the hpa metric). How to make kubernetes not try and terminate currently running tasks, … -

Avoiding N+1 Queries When Serializing Model With Property Referencing Reverse Foreign Key Relationship
I currently have an issue where neither Django's prefetch_related() nor prefetch_related_objects() are sufficient in optimizing a Django Rest Framework serialization and I'm curious if anyone here has some ideas! To visualize the situation I'm in, suppose I have three models, linked as such: class VotableObjectExampleParent(models.Model): #several other fields redacted here# class VotableObjectExample(models.Model): #several other fields redacted here# votableobjectexampleparent = models.ForeignKey('VotableObjectExampleParent', on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name = 'votableobjectexamples') @property def total_votes(self): return self.votableobjectexample_votes.aggregate(sum = Sum("vote"))["sum"] or 0 class VotableObjectExample_Vote(models.Model): #several other fields redacted here# votablebjectexample = models.ForeignKey('VotableObjectExample', on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name = 'votablebjectexample_votes') vote = models.IntegerField(choices = [(-1, "down"), (1, "up")]) I then have appropriate (and functional!) DRF serializers such as the ones shown: class VotableObjectExampleParent_Serializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): related_votableobjectexamples = Idea_Proposal_Serializer(source = "votableobjectexamples", many=True, read_only=True) class Meta: model = VotableObjectExampleParent fields = ['related_votableobjectexamples'] #other fields would normally be in this array read_only_fields = fields class VotableObjectExample_Serializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = VotableObjectExample fields = ['total_votes'] #other fields would normally be in this array read_only_fields = fields At first, I would simply call the parent serializer (VotableObjectExampleParent_Serializer) in the view: #assume a variable I already have called this_pk is correct and available for use serializer = VotableObjectExampleParent_Serializer(VotableObjectExampleParent.objects.get(pk = this_pk), many = True) JSONRenderer().render(serializer.data) This produces 100% correct JSON for my … -

How to handle external API tokens after logout
This is a higher level conceptual question. I use token authentication on my django - react app and I handle the token by saving, retrieving it, and removing it from local storage as necessary. The flow is sort of like this: user registers- generate token and save it to local storage user logs in - same thing user logs out - token is destroyed and removed from local storage The external API I use also uses token authentication, however I would like to treat it differently as to enhance the user experience. I do not want (aka it is not correct) to generate a new token for the external api every time the user logs in. Upon logging in I would like to retrieve the previously generated token from somewhere, preferably local storage. Saving a token like this in local storage when the user is not logged in is also bad practice. Where is a good place to save this token? Right away I think my django server. However, I feel like it is overkill to generate a whole model for it, or even to create a new attribute for my user, since I would have to create a custom …
