How to create custom search Mixin?
I have a ListView which utilizes the q GET parameter for a search box. The problem is that I am not following the DRY principle as I have other search boxes which are similar. Therefore I would like to make a custom SearchMixin to handle the search queries. My ListView previously looked like this: class MemoListView(LoginRequiredMixin, ListView): """ Display a list of memos. **Context** ``Memo`` An instance of :model:`memos.Memo` **Template:** :template:`memos/memos.html` """ model = Memo template_name = 'memos/memos.html' context_object_name = 'memos' def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) context['memo_list'] = Memo.objects.all() return context def get_ordering(self): ordering = self.request.GET.get('ordering', '-date_time') return ordering def get_queryset(self): query = self.request.GET.get('q') user_casino = self.request.user.casino user_emp_type = self.request.user.employee_type ordering = self.get_ordering() if query: object_list = Memo.objects.filter( casino=user_casino).filter( receiver=user_emp_type).filter( Q(title__icontains=query) | Q(content__icontains=query ) ) else: object_list = Memo.objects.filter( casino=user_casino).filter( receiver=user_emp_type ) if ordering and isinstance(ordering, str): ordering = (ordering,) object_list = object_list.order_by(*ordering) return object_list I am trying to create the SearchMixin as such: class SearchMixin: def get_queryset(self): queryset = super(SearchMixin, self).get_queryset() query = self.request.GET.get('q') if query: print('yes') return queryset.filter(Q(title__icontains=query) | Q(content__icontains=query)) print('no') return queryset The problem is that the query is not hitting the SearchMixin when I add it to the MemoListView as such: class MemoListView(LoginRequiredMixin, SearchMixin, ListView): … -

How to create a similar to "setUp" method in unittest using pytest fixtures and django
I have the code below in my test files and trying to refactor it. I am new to pytest and i am trying to achieve the similar method setUp available with unittest to be able to retrieve the object created in the db to other function instead of repeating the codes. In this case I want to reuse month from test_setup to the other functions. test_models.py @pytest.mark.django_db class TestMonth: # def test_setup(self): # month = Month.objects.create(name="january", slug="january") # month.save() def test_month_model_save(self): month = Month.objects.create(name="january", slug="january") month.save() assert month.name == "january" assert month.name == month.slug def test_month_get_absolute_url(self, client): month = Month.objects.create(name="january", slug="january") month.save() response = client.get(reverse('core:month_detail', kwargs={'slug': month.slug})) assert response.status_code == 200 I would appreciate the help. -
Heroku config for a Django app that requires a Firebase JSON?
I have a Python Django app deployed on Heroku that uses Firebase through the drf-firebase-auth library (which I must use for a number of reasons). I know that configuration shouldn't be checked into version control, but I'm not sure how to avoid it in my case. The drf-firebase-auth library requires the Firebase credential JSON file to be saved in my code's directory structure. How can I pass this JSON essentially via Heroku environment variables without needing to commit the JSON file to my git repo (and push to Heroku), so that I can have a proper config setup for staging/production/etc? The drf-firebase-auth library instructs me to add this to my settings.py and also to save my very sensitive firebase.json file to my codebase: DRF_FIREBASE_AUTH = { 'FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY': 'project/config/firebase.json' } The implementation within this 3rd party library looks a bit like this: import firebase_admin from drf_firebase_auth.settings import api_settings ... firebase_credentials = firebase_admin.credentials.Certificate( api_settings.FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY ) firebase = firebase_admin.initialize_app(firebase_credentials) ... The problem is that I would like to avoid committing this Firebase JSON to git in order to deploy to Heroku. -
Proper way to run nameko service(s) inside a Django application?
If I have a vanilla Django REST (DRF) application and I would like to integrate a nameko service (specifically an event_handler event listening service), what's the best way to achieve this? I cannot simply nameko run a service if it's part of a Django application. I'm considering running the nameko service via a custom Django management command, but would I lose some of nameko's features, say, scalability? Eg. nameko maintains a pool of 10 workers per nameko run (if I remember correctly). -

How to use django-storages to store and retrieve one field in my model
I use DRF for building our customer facing web app at my work. We have a Profile model which contains an ImageField which represent a User profile and his profile picture respectively.

How to send a JSON message via Python Requests/URL Module to a Pi Django server from a Pizero W on the same router/LAN?
I have a Raspberry Pi 3+ and a Raspberry Pizero W connected to the same home wireless network. The Pi 3+ is hosting a Django server, and the IP address of the Pi 3+ is static on the home network at 192.384.5.767. The Pizero W has a static IP address on the home network of 192.384.5.343.

Allow user to connect their database to django app
I am developing an app in which user stores their data. I want to add option to allow user to connect their database (on their server) to the django project so that they can store their sensitive information.

Use existing ModelSerializer with JSONResponse
I have a Twitter authentication view that doesn't use a viewset so the auth can be handled on the backend. The view takes in the oauth_token & uses Twython to get the profile & create a Twitter model. Currently I just return status 201 on success, but to alleviate the need for another request after creation, I'd like to return the created model. I have a TwitterSerializer already which defines the fields that I want to include, so I'd like to be able to reuse this if possible. TwitterSerializer class TwitterSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Twitter fields = ( "id", "twitter_user_id", "screen_name", "display_name", "profile_image_url", ) When I try to use this, I get the error that Instance of TwitterSerializer is not JSON serializable. serialized = TwitterSerializer(instance=twitter) return JsonResponse({ "created": serialized }) I could return a serialized instance of the model using serializers.serialize() serialized = serializers.serialize('json', [twitter, ]) serialized = serialized[0] return JsonResponse({ "created": serialized }) I could pass the fields kwarg to serialize() but I don't want to have to repeat myself if I don't have to. So would it be possible to re-use my TwitterSerializer in this case? I'm having trouble finding a direct answer since most docs assume …
