How to make Custom Serializer from different models without relationships.?
I have 3 different models. I need to build a custom serializer with these 3 models. I tried using some code, but it didn't reach what I expected. There is structure, but I was not able to get the data I was expecting # Serializer This my Serializer and ModelOne, ModelTwo, ModelThree these are my models. class ModelOneSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = ModelOne fields = ['id', 'obj_1', 'obj_2'] class ModelTwoSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = ModelTwo fields = ['id', 'obj_1', 'obj_2'] class ModelThreeSerializer(WritableNestedModelSerializer): class Meta: model = ModelThree fields = ['id', 'obj_1', 'obj_2'] class CustomSerializer(serializers.Serializer): model_1 = ModelOneSerializer(many=True) model_2 = ModelTwoSerializer(many=True) model_3 = ModelThreeSerializer(many=True) # View class CustomView(APIView): def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs): serializer = CustomSerializer(context={'request': request}) return Response({'response': 'ok', 'result': serializer.data}) # Expected Output { "response": "ok", "result": { "model_1": [ { "id":"1", "obj_1":"test", "obj_2":"test", "obj_3":"test" }, { "id":"1", "obj_1":"test", "obj_2":"test", "obj_3":"test" } ], "model_2": [ { "id":"1", "obj_1":"test", "obj_2":"test", "obj_3":"test" } ], "model_3": [ { "id":"1", "obj_1":"test", "obj_2":"test", "obj_3":"test" } ] } } The results may have multiple data in the model_2 and model_3 as in the model_1 structure -

Using @swagger_auto_schema with recursive serializer in Django
I have a recursive serializer (data is a tree) which is the format of the response of an API. I tried to use it in @swagger_auto_schema like a bunch of other APIs I have implemented but the app collapsed. Can anyone tell me the solution for this, I really need this serializer to be shown on swagger for documenting for my colleagues. Here's my code: class CategoryExtendedSerializer(SkipBlankFieldsSerializer): children = serializers.ListField(source='get_children', child=RecursiveField(allow_null=True)) class Meta: model = Category exclude = ('lft', 'rght', 'tree_id', 'mptt_level') class CategoryListView(APIView): @swagger_auto_schema( operation_description="Get categories list", responses={200: base_page_response(CategoryExtendedSerializer)} ) def get(self, request): # some irrelevant code here pass -
How to mock a method inside another module during unit testing

Django: Inconsistent test that depends on other test
I am getting inconsistent tests. For visualization, Let me use examples: tests/test_animals.py tests/test_plants.py I have 2 tests. When I run individual test like: python manage.py test apps.living_things.tests.test_plants it would have no errors. However when I run python manage.py test apps.living_things.tests, to test everything, it would affect the second test: tests/test_plants.py I am using fixtures for them, one is initial and the other is just a test fixtures: fixtures/initial.json # general models fixtures/test_living_things.json # sample input for animals and plants I have been debugging. One class of test in tests/test_animals.py includes the 2 fixtures: class TestAnimals(TestCase): fixtures = ['fixtures/initial', 'fixtures/test_living_things'] def setUp(self): pass def tearDown(self): pass When I commented out the block code above in test/test_animals.py everything works fine. So I am suspecting it has to do with the 2nd fixture: fixtures/test_living_things.json since I also have a Test Class without that fixture but works fine. The error I get when messed up is that Client.get does not respond well in tests/test_plants.py class TestPlants(TestCase): fixtures = ['fixtures/initial', 'fixtures/test_living_things'] def setUp(self): pass def tearDown(self): pass def test_plants(self): c = Client() response = c.post('/admin/login/', {'username': 'admin', 'password': 'animalplants'}) response = c.get("/living_things/plants/1/") # Gets Error here, returns 404 -
Django search query feature like Django admin or Django rest framework
I am trying to figure out a proper way to make a search functionality for my model fields like Django's admin or Django rest framework's search feature. Suppose I have this model, I would like to search through all the fields.: class User(models.Model): email = models.EmailField( unique=True, max_length=254, ) first_name = models.CharField(max_length=15) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=15) mobile = models.BigIntegerField(unique=True) First, I tried this way: user_list = User.objects.filter( Q(id=int(search_input)) | Q(email=search_input) | Q(first_name=search_input) | Q(last_name=search_input) | Q(mobile=int(search_input)) ) This works fine if I am filtering with only the integer search terms. However, if I pass a string value, this breaks and it gives me an error: ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10 So now what I came up is something like this, to catch any Value errors and exclude integer searches from the filter: try: user_list = User.objects.filter( Q(id=int(search_input)) | Q(email=search_input) | Q(first_name=search_input) | Q(last_name=search_input) | Q(mobile=int(search_input)) ) except ValueError as e: user_list = User.objects.filter( Q(email=search_input) | Q(first_name=search_input) | Q(last_name=search_input) | ) I am hoping there's a better way then this. Or maybe a field look up feature that I am not aware of? -
How to make a django/vuejs website available offline?
I am working on a online_test application which tests users on mcq, mcc, blanks and code questions. The basic flow of website is: It has courses. Student enrolls in the course watches video lessons Solves questions based on those videos. The first version of the website is live and built entirely in django. The second version I want is the offline version of the course available to the user in which he is enrolled, so that he can study or solve problems without worrying about the internet. Once he completes the test, his responses should be stored in some localstorage (I was thinking IndexedDB) and submitted only when the user comes online. For the second version I am using API written in DRF and for frontend Vue. Vue has helped me reduce number of hits to server and also improved the performance of the website. So I was thinking if there is any way in which I can have a simple Download Course button somewhere inside the course. And when the user click that button, a offline version of the course is available to user. The problem here is even if it is possible to make the course offline, I … -

Advantages of django rest_framework over AJAX and JsonResponce
I can get data in JSON format, using a view and url by calling an AJAX function from JQuery. Which only needs to create a view and a url to access it. But is rest_framework to do the same thing I need to create serializer, views and a url to do the same. So is it good to use AJAXX in these cases or I need to use rest_framework every time. Thanks. -

Retrieving count of unique Django objects based on multiple fields of another Django model
I have a Django model defined as follows: class Session(models.Model): ... leader = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='leader') follower = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='follower') ... Now let's say I have a QuerySet of Session objects: all_sessions = Session.objects.all() How can I get a simple count of unique Users that have been either a leader or follower in any Session in all_sessions? For example, a particular User may have been a leader in some number of Session objects, but a follower in a handful of other Session objects. That particular User should only contribute 1 to the desired unique Users count. There are of course some naive solutions to this, but for performance reasons, I'm wondering if there's a solution that leverages the power of QuerySets a bit more, if possible. -

Best way to specify dedicated sub domain for authentication views in Django Rest Framework
I'm building and API using DRF and will be using it with a React SPA. I've chosen session authentication for my project because of the following reasons: It's built-in to DRF, so no dependence on 3rd party developers (a lot of auth packages or their dependencies are not maintained) CSRF + Cookie protection Ability to use Secure and HTTPOnly cookies However, I'm aware that it's recommended that we use Django's authentication views for the authentication pages and the single page app for the post authentication API calls. In this scenario, there are some views (i.e. Login, Logout, Password Reset, Register) for which the server responds with HTML and the rest return JSON. I would like to use different subdomain for these views i.e. different subdomain for HTML views and different subdomain for the JSON views. I'm a Django newbie and would really appreciate some suggestions on the best way to handle the separation of subdomains. I have some idea that the few ways I could achieve this are: using django-hosts using django sites (although I'm not sure if the cookie made by one site, would work on the other) point 2 domains to my server and handle the separation bit … -
