Adding forms dynamically to a Django formset

How to filter django queryset with date and time?
This is my model field start = models.DateTimeField(null=True,blank=True) Let's say I have value, cmp_date = '2019-09-05 20:09:00' event_exists = Event.objects.filter(start__gte=cmp_date, end__lte=cmp_date).first() And in my database I have start as "2019-09-05 18:09:00.000000" and end as "2019-09-06 19:09:00.000000" But this returns none.. I guess the problem is with the time? May I know how to filter with date and time? -
Calling multiple functions after clicking Submit button
I am new to Django and python, I have various functions made in python which i want to run after clicking the submit button (obviously getting inputs from the form) and then show the results on similar page or maybe new page.

Running Django's createsuperuser in Google Cloud Run
I'm trying to run a Django app on Google Cloud Run. The site itself works nicely, can run migrations and collect static assets via a startup script. The one thing I cannot figure out how to do is create a superuser. This requires interactively typing in a password or at least setting it via a django shell. I currently cannot figure out how to do this and it seems like it might not be possible; which would make Cloud Run unusable for Django. Has anyone been able to achieve this or have a sustainable workaround? Thanks! -
IPython/django execute history in order
I am running django shell using IPython 5.8.0. In older versions of IPython, in order to run previous commands that had been typed, I hit the up arrow X number of times, then executed the command, then hit the down arrow and it went to the next command in order so I could quickly execute a whole series of commands in order again. Now, when I up arrow X times and execute a command, it then jumps me back down to the end of the history list and nothing happens when I hit the down arrow. Is there an IPython setting somewhere to change this behavior? And, if so, how do I set that? Everything was working normally until I upgraded IPython. -

Is there any way to determine attribute is select/choice in django model?
Currently implementing searchbox which provides two interface - textbox if required input is not normalized, and dropdown if required input is normalized and is defined with choices param in model, and select class in form.I've currently found that I can retrieve each fields' html snippet by doing str(field), for field in form, and with beautifulsoup or other html parsing library I can find input type(is text field or dropdown(select)), and option values for dropdown. But it seems too compilcated, and I'm currently guessing that there might be some way django provides to determine such things.Looking forward, and thanks in advance for any help. -
How to join 3 models of existing database tables with specific column key?
I'm developing a web app using Django REST as the backend, and Angular as the frontend. I have a legacy database (read-only) that has 3 tables that I want to join together to get all the data I need. Basically, I'm using the result of this query to auto-populate a form. The user will enter a known meter number into the form and then click a button that will pull the other related information into the form - minimizing data entry. Simplified database tables and fields MeterNumber bi_acct bi_srv_loc_nbr bi_mtr_nbr Customer bi_acct (join to MeterNumber table) other fields I need ServiceLocation bi_srv_loc_nbr (join to MeterNumber table) other fields I need So, as you can see, these tables can all join to the MeterNumber table based on the bi_acct and bi_srv_loc_nbr fields. I want to be able to make a REST call to something like: server/meter_number/123456 And then the JSON response would be something like: { "bi_acct": 111111, "bi_srv_loc_nbr": 222222, "bi_mtr_nbr": 123456, "customer": [ { "bi_acct": 111111, "needed_field": "...

How to return Posts author ID and username instead of just ID in DjangoREST
When I make a GET request to my /api/posts/ I recieve only author ID, but I also want author username to display it. How would I do that? I want response to be something like this: [ { // all other stuff author: { id: 1, username: "foo" } } ] This is my Post viewset: class PostViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): """Handle CRUD for Posts""" serializer_class = serializers.PostSerializer authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,) queryset = Post.objects.all() def perform_create(self, serializer): """Set author to current user""" serializer.save(user=self.request.user) And this is what I get in response: [ { "id": 1, "title": "Welcome!", "description": "Welcome test!", "created_at": "2019-09-21T01:05:58.170330Z", "author": 1, "community": 2 } ] I want to do the same for community as well but I think I'll figure it out from the author solution. -
How to manage Java and Python apps on docker?
I have a Python app based on Django that I run over a docker container. The app browses the file system and does analysis on some XML files and extracts embedded source code and exports that into separate files. The app should run a Java jar file that does static code analysis on files generated by the Django web app. I thought of isolating both parts of the whole platform. The Python Django part is on a container, the jar file (it's an open source tool) runs on another alpine container. Now I want to continue development of the tool and make the Django app run the tool through a command on each file that's generated that contains source code. Should I create another Django wrapper on the jar file to expose some endpoints so that the first container could run it? Is there another way I could enhance this architecture? Edit: The tool I'm using: https://github.com/AbletonDevTools/groovylint -

Setting a condition based redirect in a class based view (Django)
I'm (beginner) creating a simple blog app. I created a class based view to create a blog post and it has a separate URL. I want it redirect to the login page (url name = 'login') if the user isn't logged in. In a function based view all I have to do is this: def postCreateView(request): if not request.user.is_authenticated: return redirect('login') I don't know how to do this in a class based view (inherited from generic CreateView). I tried modifying the init() method like this: def redirectLogin(self): return redirect('login') def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): if(not self.request.user.is_authenticated): redirectLogin() super().__init__() (I named the class PostCreateView) But on debugging the Exception Value was 'PostCreateView' object has no attribute 'request'. I need the correct way (The Django convention way if it exists) to set a condition based redirect in class based view. Also I'm confused why it says the view doesn't have an attribute 'request'. Every view has request. I'm sure about it because I overrode the form_valid() method to set the author of the post as the currently logged in user like this: def form_valid(self, form): form.instance.author = self.request.user return super().form_valid() And it run perfectly fine when I logged in and created a post. … -

Djano-viewsets. How to get the ID parameter from the path in perform_create fun
I'm trying to do a REST in Django using the VIEWSETS library. I created a Container model that works well. Container is associated with the ContainerModerator model. The endpoint should be: POST containers/{container_id}/moderators One of the fields in ContainerModerator is container_id. I would like to get it from the path. Below is what I have now. I tried in different ways to get there. I also read similar posts, usually for a library other than VIEWSETS. I am a beginner and I wonder if there is a simple, elegant solution for this case that will be easy for me to understand? Should I use other libraries like APIVIEW or GenericAPIView? models: class ContainerModerator(models.Model): moderator_id = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE) container_id = models.ForeignKey(Container, on_delete=models.CASCADE) serializers: class ContainerModeratorSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = models.ContainerModerator fields = '__all__' views: class ContainerModeratorViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): serializer_class = serializers.ContainerModeratorSerializer queryset = models.ContainerModerator.objects.all() def perform_create(self, serializer): serializer.save() urls: router.register('v1/containers/<int:container_id>/moderators', views.ContainerModeratorViewSet) urlpatterns = [ path('', include(router.urls)) ] -

how to serve content of text file as raw text in Django
I am trying to serve raw text from a text file in my static directory using Django. I am able to view this text, but it is not formatted the same as the text file. It is ignoring the /n.

Limiting access to objects in Django
I have a particular model and that model has finegrained access settings. Something like: class Document(models.Model): ... access = models.ManyToManyField(Group) Groups consist of particular tags, and those tags are linked to users. Long story short, one way or another the documents are only accessible by particular users. It is very important that this check does not slip through the cracks. So I can see a number of options. One is that every time I access a Document, I add the check: Document.objects.filter(access__group__tag__user=request.user) But there are two drawbacks: a) I query the documents model > 100 times in my views so I will have a LOT of repeated code, and b) it's quite likely that someone will at some point forget to add this restriction in, leaving documents exposed. So I am thinking that overwriting the objects() makes most sense, through a custom manager. That way I don't duplicate code and I don't risk forgetting to do this. class HasAccessManager(models.Manager): def get_queryset(self): return super().get_queryset().filter(access__group__tag__user=request.user) class Document(models.Model): ... access = models.ManyToManyField(Group) objects = HasAccessManager() However, the problem becomes that request is not accessible there: name 'request' is not defined How to solve this? Or are there better solutions?
