How to pass a variable between methods inside Django class based View

jquery click toggling troubleshooting
I am using jquery and AJAX calls to send data to my django views when a user clicks and unclicks a button (there are multiple buttons on the page). Clicking once on the button should make the counter go up and store the word that was clicked. Then in my view a model object is created based on this data. Clicking a second time on the same button should do the opposite: make the count go down by one, and delete this object from the model. Everything was working well before I started implementing the toggle methodology. Now the toggling works, but both the clicked_words and unclicked_words lists are empty (and the counter doesn't work anymore), which means that there is nothing to save in the model. (Previously, all of these were working as expected.) I can't figure out where I have gone wrong. I have very limited experience with jquery, so in trying to add the toggling I must have broken something else! jquery: $(document).ready(function() { var known_words = 0; var clicked_words = []; var unclicked_words = []; $(".word_known").click(function() { var reference = this; var songpk = $(this).data('songpk'); var userpk = $(this).data('userpk'); $(this).toggleClass('increment'); if ($(this).hasClass('increment')) { known_words++; clicked_words.push($(this).data('word')); add_object … -

Deleting list objects in Django?
I was always taught, if you create array or list, you have to delete this array or list object. So if you append (push) , then you have to pop and delete. Otherwise this object will create bad references on the hard drive and eventually eat up the disk space with the bad fragments. In Django, I cannot find any info on how properly dispose temporary objects. Especially, after using them in template (so, like, redirecting them from view function into the template). Even more... I can pop from list of object like this: if a_object: while a_object: a_object.pop() print('deleted a_object') But as soon as I try something like: delete a_object Django tells me that there is no such function... And also, how would I pop items from list if I redirect from view function to template, so I am gone from view function and cannot pop items from list object neither before going to template, nor after I gone to template. Any thoughts on this? Because I am confused... Does Django automatically take care of objects as a higher level language? -

Django rest swagger_auto_schema customize response body to API VERSION
So I have 2 different api version (API v1 and v2). I want a different Swagger response for those because the output is different. I know that it needs to be done here in the view: responses={ 200: openapi.Response( _( "Successfully fetched the array of all sites where the user belongs to." ), SiteSerializer, ) } But I can't access the "version" (it is stored in self.request.version. This is my version url file router = routers.DefaultRouter() app_name = "v1" schema_view = get_schema_view( openapi.Info( title="API", default_version="v1", description="## Admin dashboard" ), # validators=['flex', 'ssv'], public=True, permission_classes=(permissions.AllowAny,), ) v1_urls = [...] Do I need to use this schema view to access the version number or use self? -
How do I prevent database query on related model?
I have my models like this: class Author(models.Model): name = models.CharField() # other fields class Book(models.Model): author = models.ForeignKey(Author, related_name='books') reader = models.ForeignKey(Reader) # other fields class Reader(models.Model): name = models.CharField() age = models.PositiveIntegerField() # other fields Now I have a code snippet like this: authors = Author.objects.filter(**some_filter) books_objs = authors.books.filter(reader__age__gt=18) This second line of code is querying the database on Book model, which I want to prevent. Is there any way I can prevent the db query in the second line? -
Join Two Querysets
This is a development on a question I previously asked. I have this queryset user_packages = ModulePackage.objects.filter(student=user.student).prefetch_related('individual_modules') and this one module_data = StudentModuleData.objects.filter(package__in=user_packages, student=user.student) StudentModuleData has a one-to-many relationship with individual_modules (module) class StudentModuleData(models.Model): student = models.ForeignKey('users.Student', related_name='student_module_data', on_delete=models.CASCADE) module = models.ForeignKey(BaseModule, on_delete=models.CASCADE) package = models.ForeignKey(ModulePackage, on_delete=models.CASCADE, default=None, null=True) Now that I have both of these, how can I join them so in template I can say {% for package in user_packages.all %} {{ package }} {% for module in package.individual_modules.all %} {{ module }} {% for extra_data in module.extra_data %} {{ extra_data }} (calling {% for data in module.studentmoduledata_set.all %} doesn't help) Thank you. -

could updating django model object via asynchronous processes with .save(update_fields=) argument cause race condition?
Say, there is a standard django model: class AModel(models.Model): field_a = ... field_b = ... field_c = ... .... There are several signals to update AModel triggered by asynchronous processes. SignalA SignalB SignalC ... Signals can update same row with update_fields argument like: @receiver(m2m_change, sender=Model1) def signal_a_to_update_field_a(sender, instance, *args, **kwargs): modela_obj = ```getting foreign object via instance``` modela_obj.field_a = 'any data' modela_obj.save(update_fields=['field_a', ]) @receiver(post_save, sender=Model2) def signal_b_to_update_field_b(sender, instance, *args, **kwargs): modela_obj = ```getting foreign object via instance``` modela_obj.field_b = 'any data' modela_obj.save(update_fields=['field_b', ]) @receiver(post_save, sender=Model3) .... While asynchronous processes are triggers signals simulteneously; SignalA should update field_a with modela_obj.save(update_fields=['field_a', ]) I can see it in the logs that signal is triggered, but: While signal_a running, signal_b is triggered, too. And, before signal_a finished signal_b were does what it meant to be. Then, the signal_a finished it's task. But, the field_a field could updated via signal_a is not changed on the final state of the row. What am I missing here? Is it possible to be a race condition even strictly specified the which field should be updated? Using django 1.10 with celery and rabbitmq. -
Filter for Multiple values of a field in DRF
In Amazon you can filter by Multiple Brands, eg. You select Nike, Puma, Adidas. The queryset that is sent back has products which belong to either of those brands. if you have a model like: class Product(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) description = models.TextField() brand = models.CharField(max_length=100) a serializer like: class ProductSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = models.Product fields = "__all__" viewset like: class ProductViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): serializer_class = serializers.ProductSerializer permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated] filter_backends = [filters.ProductMultipleFilterBackend ] filters.py file: from rest_framework import filters as drf_filters from django_filters import rest_framework as df_filters class MultipleField(MultipleChoiceField): def valid_value(self, value): return True class MultipleFilter(df_filters.MultipleChoiceFilter): field_class = MultipleField class ProductMultipleFilterBackend(df_filters.FilterSet): brand = MultipleFilter(lookup_expr="icontains", field_name = "brand") search = MultipleFilter(lookup_expr="icontains", field_name = "description") class Meta: model = models.Product fields = ["brand", "search"] the above code was something i found here. But it's like 5 years old and there might be a better way that i surely don't know about and i'm getting the following error on the code: filter_queryset() takes 2 positional arguments but 4 were given What would be the url structure for these requests: /someurl?brand=Nike,Adidas,Puma or /someurl?brand=[Nike,Adidas,Puma] Thanks in Advance !!!! -
Elastic search: Partial search not working properly
Partial search is not working on multiple fields. Data: - "Sales inquiries generated". { "query_string": { "fields": ["name", "title", "description", "subject"], "query": search_data+"*" } } Case1: When I pass search data as "inquiri" it works fine, But when I pass search data as "inquirie" it's not working . Case2: When I pass search data as "sale" it works fine, But when I pass search data as "sales" it's not working. Case3: When I pass search data as "generat" it works fine, But when I pass search data as "generate" it's not working. I defined my field this way. text_analyzer = analyzer("text_analyzer", tokenizer="standard", filter=["lowercase", "stop", "snowball"]) name = Text(analyzer=text_analyzer, fields={"raw": Keyword()}) title = Text(analyzer=text_analyzer, fields={"raw": Keyword()}) subject = Text(analyzer=text_analyzer, fields={"raw": Keyword()}) What is the issue in the code, Can you please give me a solution.

How can I delete related models in Django (many-to-many)?
I have two models in Django, which I use for storing some document and also to build an index of the words within the documents. Here are there models: class DMS_Dokument(models.Model): dms_dok_titel = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True) dms_dok_beschreibung = models.CharField(max_length=3000, blank=True, null=True) dms_dok_datei = models.FileField(max_length=255,upload_to='DMS/') dms_dok_hochgeladen_am = models.DateField() dms_dok_indiziert = models.BooleanField(default=False) dms_dok_gehoert_zu_app = models.CharField(max_length=255, choices=app_choices, blank=False, null=False) dms_dok_typ = models.CharField(max_length=255, choices=typ_choices, blank=False, null=False, default='Sonstiges') def save(self, *args, **kwargs): preserve_ext = extension(self.dms_dok_datei.name) neuer_dateiname = self.dms_dok_gehoert_zu_app + '_' + self.dms_dok_titel + '_' + self.dms_dok_hochgeladen_am.strftime("%d.%m.%Y") self.dms_dok_datei.name = neuer_dateiname + preserve_ext super(DMS_Dokument, self).save(*args, **kwargs) class Meta: app_label = 'DMS' class DMS_Index_Data(models.Model): dms_ind_wort = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=False, null=True) dms_ind_m2m = models.ManyToManyField(DMS_Dokument, related_name='indexes') #dms_ind_dok_fk = models.ForeignKey('DMS_Dokument', on_delete=models.CASCADE) class Meta: app_label = 'DMS' ordering = ['dms_ind_wort'] When I now use a DeleteView to delete a DMS_Dokument object, then this is correctly removed from the database. But the entries in the other table remain. How can I tell Django that upon removing a document, the index should also be cleaned from entries relating to it? And is this special, as I have many-to-many relationships? -

Pipe Python Console To HTML iFrame (Django Web App)
Take the following bit of Python code from my Django web app: def Deploy(request, home, staging_folder): os.chdir(staging_folder) tf = Terraform() tf.init() tf.plan(capture_output=False) approve = {"auto-approve": True} try: print(tf.apply(capture_output=False, auto_approve=True, skip_plan=True,**approve)) except Exception as e: print(e) os.chdir(home) This prints to the console. Is it possible to pipe this through to a HTML iframe? If so, what will the iframe source be? <iframe src="" width="650" height="800" frameborder="0" ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true" name="display"></iframe> I essentially want to redirect the output from the console to the iframe so the user can see exactly what's happening on a deployment page (like a live stream), rather than waiting for the function to execute whilst the HTML page looks like it's hanging. -
best parctice for URL's architectural Design in Django
I have been designing websites with Django for a while and I have also designed various sites. But here is a question that comes to mind at the beginning of any new project: What is the best a URLs architectural Design that creates both logical and meaningful URLs path as well as plugable apps? Parctical Example And Problem I will explain my question with a practical example. Suppose that we have project with these features: It has three applications called Shop, Blog and Support. It has three URL section: 2.1. Public section: that start with /. 2.2. Consumer panel: that start with /panel. 2.3. Administrator panel: that start with /administrator. Each application has 3 views. For example Shop has: public_shop_view, panel_shop_view and administrator_shop_view. Now, What is the best URL design for this project? I describe two possible answers here for URLs desing. Solution 1: project/urls.py path('', include('Shop.urls', namespce='Shop')), path('', include('Blog.urls', namespce='Blog')), path('', include('Support.urls', namespce='Support')), Shop/urls.py path('shop/', views.public_shop_view, name='public_shop_view'), path('panel/shop/', views.panel_shop_view, name='panel_shop_view'), path('administrator/shop/', views.administrator_shop_view, name='administrator_shop_view'), Blog/urls.py path('blog/', views.public_blog_view, name='public_blog_view'), path('panel/blog/', views.panel_blog_view, name='panel_blog_view'), path('administrator/blog/', views.administrator_blog_view, name='administrator_shop_view'), Support/urls.py path('support/', views.public_support_view, name='public_support_view'), path('panel/support/', views.panel_support_view, name='panel_support_view'), path('administrator/support/', views.administrator_support_view, name='administrator_support_view'), Solution 2: In this solution we create three app (Public, Panel, Administrator) that just have urls.py … -
