Django filter from multiple fields with empty input
I am new to Django and I am right now trying to deal with the issue of filtering based on specific field. React.js is used for the front-end and Django is used as RESTful APIs. For the front-end, users are allowed to choose to either search based on number or name. The info has been successfully collected. The following code just for better understanding and is incomplete. <input type="text" /><label>Search by number</label> <input type="text" /><label>Search by name</label> For the backend, response should filter the queryset based on input information, which is either number or name. However, when I went through the document, I noticed that for filtering, all the filtering fields should be provided. Entry.objects.filter(number=123, name="abc") How can I do the filter based on the given info from the front-end, for example, if user chooses to search by name that Django does: Entry.objects.filter(number=123) while if user chooses to search by name, then Django does: Entry.objects.filter(name="abc") I understand that I can actually create two different APIs endpoints, so the number and name won't interfere each other. However, if there are more filter fields, then it is definitely inefficient to write every single API based on each field. Anyone can help me … -

Django QuerySet, Filtering Data Based on The Latest Entry of Each Data's Column/Field equals to a particular Value

How do you use Django in Python to make html/css framework much faster?
I've done very tedious task for html and css alone to make pH barometer, but I found out Python Django has a function to do this within a fraction of seconds. How do you do that? <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Color</title> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color: silver; color: white; padding: 20px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;} h1 { background-color: #fffffff; background-color: hsla(0,100%,100%,0.5); color: #64645A; padding: inherit;} p { padding: 5px; margin: 0px;} p.zero{ background-color: rgb(238,62,128);} p.one { background-color: rgb(244,90,139);} p.two { background-color: rgb(243,106,152);} p.three { background-color: rgb(244,123,166);} p.four { background-color: rgb(245,140,178);} p.five { background-color: rgb(245,159,192);} p.six { background-color: rgb(245,176,204);} p.seven { background-color: rgb(0,187,136);} p.eight { background-color: rgb(140,202,242);} p.nine { background-color: rgb(114,193,240);} p.ten { background-color: rgb(84,182,237);} p.eleven { background-color: rgb(48,170,233);} p.thirteen { background-color: rgb(0,160,230);} p.fourteen { background-color: rgb(0,136,221);} </style> </head> <body> <h1>pH Scale</h1> <p class="fourteen">14.0 VERY ALKALINE</p> From this source What is the difference between Django and Html?

Django, ModelFormField: using evaluated queryset several times
I have a ModelFormSet with ~5 forms; each copy of form has a ModelChoiceField with all fields of one model Distance, ~1000 items. I want to make just one evaluation of the queryset Distance.objects.all(), not 5 such queries, and use its result in each form. How can I do it? I tried to provide the argument form_kwargs={'distances': models.Distance.objects.all()} to a ModelFormSet; but it appears that this queryset is still evaluated for each form copy. Can I ask Django to do it just once? -
How to make Django, type annotations, and Flake8 work together?
I'm using Django / DRF. I want to write type-checked Python. I also want linting. Django's model structure involves creating a manager class for every model, and assigning an instance of the manager class to the model's objects member. Since I'm using type annotations, the manager class's methods now also includes a reference to the model. This causes flake8 to report an error in one or the other. Here is an example: class UserManager: def create_user(email: str) -> User: ... ^^^^ [flake8] F821: undefined name 'User' class User: objects = UserManager() And if I flip them around, I get: class User: objects = UserManager() ^^^^^^^^^^^ [flake8] F821: undefined name 'UserManager' class UserManager: def create_user(email: str) -> User: ... What do people do to write typed, linted Django code? -
Django - Editable ModelAdmin, TabularInline with ManyToMany relationship
I have the following models: class Attribute(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=16) ... class BaseAttribute(models.Model): attribute = models.ForeignKey(Attribute, on_delete=models.CASCADE) value = models.FloatField() class AttributedObject(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=16) description = models.CharField(max_length=256) base_attributes = models.ManyToManyField(BaseAttribute, blank=True) I'm trying to create inlines for AttributedObjects to have multiple BaseAttributes. class BaseAttributeInline(admin.TabularInline): model = BaseItem.base_attributes.through class BaseItemAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): inlines = [BaseAttributeInline] exclude = ('base_attributes',) class Meta: model = BaseItem However, in the admin, it is just showing a selection for BaseAttributes (or creating new ones) instead of the individual fields of the BaseAttribute. I would like the inline to show a selection for the Attribute and a float value input as well as reuse existing BaseAttributes that already have identical values. How can I achieve this, or will I have to abandon the many to many relationship? -
Django Generic CBV Model plus its related other Model set?
I have a generic Django CBV which looks like this: class EditQuestion(LoginRequiredMixin, UpdateView): """ Edit a specified question """ model = Question fields = ['question_text'] template_name = 'clients/business/update_question.html' def get_queryset(self): queryset = super(EditQuestion, self).get_queryset() queryset = queryset.filter(business__client=self.request.user) return queryset def form_valid(self, form): form.save() return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('clients:question_list')) Each question has an answer_set from a different model called Answer. How do I include each Question's answer_set in the same UpdateView? let's say the related name was answer_set: I want to essentially change fields to fields = ['question_text', 'answer_set'], but I know that is incorrect. I want to have one form include both the Question AND its set of answers(from a different model) How would I do that? I assume people have to do this all the time in their forms. -
How to save current user as an author in Django when submitting form
When I post a new store, the current user is supposed to be stored as an author with the below codes. However, it only works in Django admin. I'm actually using a custom CMS, which works with Django forms, so it works like the admin does. I think I need to make the below codes to work in models.py so that it can work in both Django admin and my CMS. Can anyone explain how can I do that? admin.py @admin.register(Store) class StoreAdmin(SummernoteModelAdmin): ... def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change): if getattr(obj, 'author', None) is None: obj.author = request.user obj.save() -

Method "POST" not allowed with Django Rest Framework
I'm trying to create a JSON API compliant rest service using Django Rest Framework JSON API: https://django-rest-framework-json-api.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html I think I'm stuck at the Django Rest Framework level, but I am not certain.

Django - Display a list of calculated fields in a template
I am passing a list of querysets and a list of total prices to my template. I am using the reverse relationship of my Requisition Table to display each line that exists for that requisition. I am passing the total price of the requisition(adding all the lines prices together). I am trying to display in a table format each record with the cumulative price at the bottem next to a submit button. My initial thought was to obviously iterate over the list but that is causing me a problem because I would be nesting three for loops so it is not displaying the result like intended. pending_action.html <h1>Pending Action</h1> {% for req_header in req_header_list %} <div class="accordion" id="accordionExample"> <div class="card"> <div class="card-header" id="headingOne"> <h5 class="mb-0"> <button class="btn btn-link" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#req{{ req_header.id }}" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseOne"> {{ req_header }} </button> </h5> </div> <div id="req{{ req_header.id }}" class="collapse" aria-labelledby="headingOne" data-parent="#accordionExample"> <div class="card-body"> <table class="table"> <tr> <th>Line</th> <th>Description</th> <th>Quantity</th> <th>Total Price</th> <th>Status</th> </tr> {% for line in req_header.par_req_line.all %} <tr> <td>{{line}}</td> <td>{{line.description}}</td> <td>{{line.quantity}}</td> <td>{{line.total_price}}<td> <td>{{line.status}}</td> </tr> {% endfor %} <tr> <td> <form action="#" method="POST"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </td> <td></td> <td></td> <td> <!--WANT TO DISPLAY THE TOTAL PRICE PER REQUISITION HERE {{price_list.0}} </td> … -

Graphene-Django: In schema combine Query-objects (only takes first argument)
I am trying to combine multiple Query schemas located in different apps in Django 2.1. Using graphene-django 2.2 (have tried 2.1 with same problem). Python 3.7. The Query class only registers the first variable.

Have something changed with classes in python 3.7?

Django Python: Can't access JS object passed via AJAX from Python QueryDict
In this Django project I'm building, I have data going back and forth between server and client via javascript and python using AJAX. For convenience I devised a config object in JS to carry over important parameters the server and responding JS need to know. On the Python side I am unable to access this object because it is None, but printing the object out to the JS console before sending and printing the POST object out to the Py console both show something is there. I don't understand why accessing the JS object (not it's memebers) in the QueryDict comes back as None. # JavaScript var objConfig = { param1: "more text data", param2: "more text data", param3: "more text data", }; console.log(objConfig); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: url, data: { csrfmiddlewaretoken: strCsrfToken, strTextData: strTextData, objConfig: objConfig }, success: callback }); # JS console output: # Object {param0: "more text data", param1: "more text data", param2: "more text data"} # Python def DoTheThing(response): print(response.POST.get('strTextData')) print(response.POST.get('objConfig')) print(response.POST) print(response.POST.get('objConfig[param0]')) # Python console output: # Text data being sent to server. # None # <QueryDict: {'csrfmiddlewaretoken': ['...'], 'strTextData': ['Text data being sent to server.'], 'objConfig[param0]': ['more text data'], 'objConfig[param1]': ['more text data'], 'objConfig[param2]': …
