In django rest framework, How to get queryset of foreignkey instead of url?
In models: class Brand(models.Model): name = models.CharField() class Product(models.Model): price= models.CharField() brand = models.ForeignKey(Brand) In serializers, I use hyperlink and in views, I use viewset and also in urls I use routers. As output in API, in Product url i get the Product queryset and the value of brand is a url link. But i want the queryset of Brand in Product queryset. How can it possible? For frontend I use axios, when i get a request in Product queryset here I also get url for Brand because of foreignkey. I need to access the queryset of Brand when I send get request for Product url. How can I do that? -
Django: get all distinct values from attribute in db
So I have a model "site" which has an attribute country. I need an endpoint that fetches all countries I have following filter in my view: countries = Site.objects.order_by().values("country").distinct() This returns a queryset. What's the best way to return this data? A serializer uses a model, right? But this is just a queryset of strings.. -

How to dynamically set the queryset target model of a Django ModelForm field loaded using Ajax?
I have two dependent fields in a Django Modelform. The first 'foo_type' (radio buttons) is used to select the type of 'foos' dynamically loaded in the 'foos' field. 'foos' can be either fullfield with 'Cats', 'Dogs' or 'Horses' model objects and has to support mutiple selection. How could I define ModelMultipleChoiceField queryset "on the fly" meaning when user selects one of the 'foo_type' radio buttons, 'foos' queryset is modified accordingly to grab either 'Cats', 'Dogs' or 'Horses' model objects? Is that even possible? What approach should I go for in this case? Sidenote: that those two dependent fields ('foo_type' and 'foos') are not model fields, they are only used to compute data from selected 'foos' and will be used to populate a distinct field which won't be exposed in the UI. forms.my class AlertForm(forms.ModelForm): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super().__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields['subject'] = forms.CharField(label='Objet',widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={ 'class': 'form-control' })) self.fields['message'] = forms.CharField(label='Message',required=False,widget=forms.Textarea(attrs={ 'class': 'form-control' })) self.fields['extra_recipients'] = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=Contacts.objects.all(), label='Extra recipient',widget=forms.SelectMultiple(attrs={ 'class': 'form-control' })) # Radio buttons to define 'foos' content below self.fields['foo_type'] = forms.ChoiceField(choices=AlertFilterList.choices(),label='Foo type',required=True,widget=forms.RadioSelect(attrs={ 'class': 'custom-control custom-radio' })) # Content loaded using Ajax based on 'foo_type' selection above self.fields['foos'] = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=?????????, label='Foos',widget=forms.SelectMultiple(attrs={ 'class': 'form-control' })) class Meta(object): model = Alerts fields = … -

Changing notebook directory leads to an error in loading extensions
I'm running an IPython notebook through Django's shell_plus with the following command: sudo ./manage.py shell_plus --notebook I'm not entirel sure how it works, but ./manage.py shell_plus knows to look for additional settings in django's settings.py file, where I have the following IPython arguments: IPYTHON_ARGUMENTS = [ '--ext', 'django_extensions.management.notebook_extension', '--profile=mitchell', '--port=8889', '--notebook-dir=/home/rootadmin/server/', '--certfile=/ssl/fullchain.pem', '--keyfile=/ssl/privkey.pem', '--ip=*', '--no-browser', '--no-mathjax', ] So far this all works as intended. It runs a notebook server, that I can access and it serves any notebook file within the notebook-dir, which is the same directory from which I run the ./manage.py shell_plus --notebook command. I can execute code, and have access to my django models. However, this is my general home directory and I don't want all my notebooks in this directory. I made a new directory, from which I want to serve my notebooks. I change my notebook-dir accordingly. '--notebook-dir=/home/rootadmin/server/jupyter_directory', Then, if I run the notebook, it initially appears to work: I can access it online, and it shows me the notebooks within the jupyter_directory, however, when I try to run any code that required my django models, it no longer works, saying that these models are undefined. In the terminal, where I started the notebook I … -
How to get field value from relations model

Django: Is it good practice to write `classmethod` for single line query?
Is it a good practice to write classmethod or method on model for all the interactions with database even for the single line query. for eg. Example 1 # models.py class Student(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255) @classmethod def get_all_students(cls): return cls.objects.all() # views.py def foo(request): students = Student.get_all_students() Example 2 # models.py class Student(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255) # views.py def foo(request): students = Student.objects.all() Which one(Eg. 1 or Eg. 2) is better and why? -

Django: select status, count(status) from table group_by status;
I know that there is no group_by in Django for some reason. However, I need to get the number of items in each of the possible statuses. It can be done with a very simple query: select status, count(status) from table group_by status; At the same time, in our project we try to do as much as possible in Django ORM, and so far have never used raw SQL anywhere except in some migrations. Is there a way to do this in Django ORM without getting duplicates? -
How can i send real time data to a Django application and show it on a webpage?
I'm trying to add real-time features to my Django webapp. Basically, i want to show real time data on a webpage. I have an external Python script which generates some JSON data, not big data but around 10 records per second. On the other part, i have a Django app, i would like my Django app to receive that data and show it on a HTML page in real time. I've already considered updating the data on a db and then retrieving it from Django, but i would have too many queries, since Django would query the DB 1+ times per second for every user and my external script would be writing a lot of data every second. What i'm missing is a "central" system, a way to make these two pieces communicate. I know the question is probably not specific enough, but is there some way to do this? I know something about Django Channels, but i don't know if i could do what i want with it; i've also considered updating the data on a RabbitMQ queue and then retrieve it from Django, but this is not the best use of RabbitMQ. So is there a way to … -

How to redirect to the same/current page in django?

Best practice on how to integrate a settings file for the init of an own python package?
I have created an own python package (let's call it OwnRep) within which I need to use config settings like database access address, credentials, etc. I want to use the own package in other projects. Now, what I want to avoid is that my credentials are hardcoded within OwnRep.Therefore, I have started to think about intialising my OwnRep package with some sort of settings setup similar to Django and SciPy, so that the package's setup are set dynamically. Any solution proposals for this? A conceptual picture is attached as a link enter image description here -
Update many-to-many field in django by fieldname
I am building an API with Django that allows an external app to send posts to my API an then it inserts the received data into my database. Here are my simplified models: class Region(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=250) class Event(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=250) region = models.ManyToManyField(Region) I receive from the api some new Event data like this: data = { "name": "First Event", "region": "4" # this is the ID of the region } I'm trying to create a new event like this: Event.objects.create(**data) But I get the following error: Direct assignment to the forward side of a many-to-many set is prohibited. Use region.set() instead. The problem is that I can not use new_event.region.add(4) cause region is a string and, since this is an API, the field is always retrieved as a json key. I read this question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8360867/update-many-to-many-field-in-django-with-field-name-in-variable#= which is asking exactly the same, but the given answer is not working cause when I write: new.__getattribute__(relation_name) = my_authors as suggested there, i get the following error, which makes sense: SyntaxError: can't assign to function call So how can I add a manytoMany field value by the fieldName? -
