I'm trying to create an application that allows a user to set a weekly schedule of when they would be available to meet. Once these set weekly schedules have been made, it would then be set to unavailable once a customer's proposal to meet is approved by the user. -
Django. Model not showing up in template
I'm making my first Django project, and I added a model in the template, but, when I'm running it, I don't see anything. but when I inspect the page, I see an h2 tag for each entry in the model. models.py from django.db import models from django.utils import timezone from django.urls import reverse class MyDate(models.Model): english_date = models.DateField(auto_now=False) hebrew_date = models.CharField(max_length=20) def __str__(self): return self.hebrew_date views.py from django.views.generic import (TemplateView,ListView,DetailView,CreateView,UpdateView,DeleteView) from luach.models import MyDate class HomePage(TemplateView): template_name = 'new.html' class MyDateListView(ListView): model = MyDate context_object_name = 'mydate' template {% extends 'luach/base.html' %} {% block content %} <div class="jumbotron"> {% for mydate in mydate %} <h2>Hi{{ MyDate.hebrew_date }}</h2> {% empty %} <h2>Sorry, no dates in this list.</h2> {% endfor %} </div> {% endblock %} -
React put method not updating the user from Django
I have a Django as backend and updating the user from postman is working fine. But when I update it via React Frontend, it replies with a success message just as in Postman, but the data was not updated. This is the update function to update: const updateData = (e) => { e.preventDefault(); const csrftoken = getCookie("csrf"); const cookies = new Cookies(); const url = "http://localhost:8000/usercontrol/update"; setIsLoading(true); fetch(url, { method: "PUT", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", Authorization: "Token " + cookies.get("token"), "X-CSRFToken": csrftoken, }, body: JSON.stringify({ email: userinfo.email, username: userinfo.username, first_name: userinfo.first_name, last_name: userinfo.last_name, }), }).then((response) => console.log("THE RESPONSE: ", response.json())); setIsLoading(false); }; This is what it prints out in the console Since I am partially following CodingWithMitch for Django user creation with rest framework is similar to his. Furthermore, since there is no error outputting and is working fine in Postman, I have no idea what is wrong with it. -
unresolved import 'rest_framework' after installing djangorestframework
I saw similar posts created before, but nothing helped me in the end. I am using Python 3.7.7 and my IDE is VSC. I installed pip install djangorestframework (both in my virtualenv and outside of it) Added 'rest_framework', to INSTALLED_APPS. Now, to used djangorestframework, I created a file serializer with from rest_framework import serializers Now, rest_framework becomes underlined with the message unresolved import 'rest_framework'. The whole app still works, there is no error in the console. What would you advise me to do? Thanks! -

Django - How to see all permissions that wrap a view using custom decorator
I am writing tests for a system in an attempt to ensure that all permissions associated with the view are accurate and accessible to users that actually have the permission associated with them. We have had a few instances where misspellings made it so the view was inaccessible, so this is what I am trying to test. My admin users always have the correct permissions associated with them so naturally the easiest solution to ensure that each view will load for an admin would be to ensure that the permission decorator's permissions for each view are valid permissions stored in the database, however, I cannot seem to find a way to get a URL, resolve it, and then see what permissions are actually associated with the view. For example, here is a simple view: @permissions_required('prospects.view_prospect', 'prospects.change_prospects') def prospects(request, client_url): return render(request, 'prospects/index.html', {}) And here is the decorator @permissions_required def permissions_required(*perms, raise_error=False): """ Decorator for views that checks whether a user has a particular permission enabled, redirecting to the log-in page if necessary. """ def check_perms(user): allowed = all([user.has_perm(perm) for perm in perms]) if not allowed and raise_error: raise PermissionDenied return allowed return user_passes_test(check_perms) I would like to know that … -
Axes with customized django rest framework and simpleJWT
I am a beginner at Django and was building a login system. I wanted to use axes with django rest framework and simpleJWT. According to the documentation for Django-Axes: Modern versions of Django REST Framework after 3.7.0 work normally with Axes out-of-the-box and require no customization in DRF. Now I have built a Custom User for my project who gets authenticated using my own custom authentication backend. For creating the Access and the Refresh tokens I have localhost:8000/api/loginend point which creates both the tokens and stores them as HTTPOnly cookie. The login view is like this : @api_view(['POST']) @permission_classes([AllowAny]) @ensure_csrf_cookie def login_view(request): # print("captcha token = ", request.POST.get('g-recaptcha-response')) Account = get_user_model() EmailId = request.data.get('EmailId') password = request.data.get('password') response = Response() if (EmailId is None) or (password is None): raise exceptions.AuthenticationFailed('username and password required') # get the user with the credentials provided user = Account.objects.filter(EmailId=EmailId).first() if not check_user_validity(user, password): # locking the user raise exceptions.AuthenticationFailed('The credentials are invalid') else: print('user is valid') # get the token values tokenvals = get_jwt_tokens(user) response.set_cookie(key='refreshtoken', value=tokenvals['refresh_token'], httponly=True) response.set_cookie(key="accesstoken", value=tokenvals['access_token']) response.data = { 'access_token': tokenvals['access_token'], 'id': user.id } return response I can refresh the access token using localhost:8000/api/Refresh endpoint. get_jwt_token(user) returns a dictionary with both access … -

Django starts putting a slash in front of my static url relative path in 3.1
I had this code that worked ok in 3.0.8 <script src="{% static 'js/main.js' %}"></script> with the value in settings: STATIC_URL = ( "static/" # /static/ for django web development, static/ for django-bakery build ) when building with bakery it works only if I supply the relative path. But since 3.1, as per their release notes: The STATIC_URL and MEDIA_URL settings set to relative paths are now prefixed by the server-provided value of SCRIPT_NAME (or / if not set). This change should not affect settings set to valid URLs or absolute paths. (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/releases/3.1/#backwards-incompatible-3-1) it puts a / in front of my static url and the build fails. Any ideas how to avoid it? I use django bakery to bake the site into a single file, no server. -

Django channels, how to start consuming after connecting
I'm trying to understand the flow of a consumer in Django Channels. I've written the following consumer which performs a small check on a query set and returns a result every minute.

XMLHttpRequest.send(data) not delivering data to Django view function
Using pure Javascript, my goal is to recreate jQuery's .autocomplete() function for displaying a list of suggestions as a user types input into the search bar. I have written code that listens for "keyup/change/paste/input" events on the input element, i.e search bar. As the user types, I wish to use an XMLHttpRequest GET (or POST) request which will deliver the user's input so far (and information about the search context -- not relevant) to a view function which will in turn filter a Model for objects containing the user's input so far and return those objects in a JSONResponse list to the XMLHttpRequest so that I can display the suggestions on the webpage. I tried to use both GET and POST requests but the data I wished to send to the view function using XMLHttpRequest.send(data) never seemed to deliver to the view function thus inhibiting my progress. In all attempts, printing request.POST (or request.GET) gave empty an QueryDict: <QueryDict: {}> Below are some code snippets: \\ The below JS code is run on once the page is ready, i.e fully loaded addListenerMulti(query, "propertychange change click keyup input paste", function () { // check if value has changed... if (query.value != …
