Hi everyone. I use generics.listCreateAPIView and it looks good when I run in local host. But when I run in postman it says it needs authorized token. So I search the internet. It introduces rest-auth using with User model. I have a model name people, storing user information. Do I need generate a token for every user?

Are you using token-based authentication ??

Are you using token-based authentication ??

If so try django-rest-knox (as rest framework doesn't support multiple system token based auth)

support multiple system means using other device?

i am sorry. this is my first time use django. so that in my case, 'rest_framework.authtoken' is not suitable for me?

I mean rest framework generates a single token for each user. So, if you login in two different systems, the same token will be returned both the times. It's okay in case of login. But in case of logout, if you logout in a specific device, then the token corresponding to the user gets deleted. This automatically logs user out from all the devices he is logged in.

To prevent that you can use this package https://github.com/James1345/django-rest-knox

A doubt..which is more efficient..? Passing context variable or writing template tag for it?

I think is more about reuse Writing a template tag is more convenient if u need that thing more and more

i want to create multochoice question answer game in the website, what should i do

i saw some projects on github...but they are very difficult to understand

There are lots of questions/answers project example to give you an idea

can you suggest me easiest one

On official docs you can find polls app tutorial

There’s also this one: https://github.com/tomwalker/django_quiz it does not seem updated for newer django versions, although there’s some PR which should fix it and you could use, but if you new to django probably better to follow official docs polls app tutorial as Mirco suggests

Please group members I need help seriously. Kindly help me out in my end of semester project. We have been given a project like school management system. You have a Student model which student will apply. In their application form they will select Their programme (e.g. B.A. Arts), Major (e.g. English) and Minor (e.g. French). After that you will have to get a Model that will assign courses to students base on the course combination (e.g. Someone offering Arts with English and French will offer English, French, Shakespeare etc) And the last model is able to score them. (Like quiz 1, quiz 2 and exams) Please kindly help me out. You people are my only hope. I have search online am not getting any help. Thanks for your help

What kind of help ? You have all specs, try to put the basics by yourself otherwise you will never learn When you will have some Django specific errors, ask here again 😀 But if you don't try, you don't learn

I have done the Student Model but how to link the to assign the courses base on their combination is my worry. Thanks

Mmm explain better your goal

Prinart: class Student(models.Model): PROGRAMME_CHOICES = ( ("B. A. Arts", "B. A. Arts"), ("B.sc. Mathematics", "B.sc. Mathematics")) MAJOR_CHOICES = ( ("English", "English"), ("French", "French"), ("Mathematics", " Mathematics")) MINOR_CHOICES = ( ("English", "English"), ("French", "French"), ("Economics", " Economics")) first_name = models.CharField(max_length=128) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=128) programme = models.CharField(max_length=128, choices=PROGRAMME_CHOICES) major = models.CharField(max_length=128, choices=MAJOR_CHOICES) minor = models.CharField(max_length=128, choices=MINOR_CHOICES)

Now how to select all students with particular combinations and assign courses to them

To assign courses to them, it's better to have Course model and link it to Student with fk

Hey, guys

What would you use to generate a PDF or a DOCX in a DRF backend and then download it from a vue frontend, for example?

What would you use to generate a PDF or a DOCX in a DRF backend and then download it from a vue frontend, for example?

Is your problem generating the file or downloading from frontend?

I'm looking for the best way to do it all

I've though of using xhtml2pdf in the backend to generate the document and then sending it in a http response to the frontend

I've though of using xhtml2pdf in the backend to generate the document and then sending it in a http response to the frontend

Not used xhtml2pdf so can’t say nothing about it but I have used weasyprint for converting html to pdf and is nice and really easy to use, but has some limitations and reportlab which is really nice as you generate native pdf but not as easy (note that I think django docs recommends using reportlab and there is some kind if tutorial), if you want to generate .docx files, there’s python-docx which mainly fills a word template merge fields, also really easy to use

Regarding download, it really depends on your needs, I mean if generated doc needs to be stored afterwards, if it can be public, etc

Mmm those advices are very useful to me, thanks a lot

It doesn't need to be stored

You can probably generate the files in memory then

<a href="path of file" download></a>

I mean, the user may have to download it and then save it to disk or whatever

I did it some time ago with python-docx, but don’t have access to that source anymore

Yes, I don't think storing in a database is needed

I read somewhere that there are two ways to send the document via django rest

Via base64 encoding, which I think is horrible

And via http response

I still need to see how to handle this in the frontend

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/howto/outputting-pdf/ here’s the docs I was saying

Guess if you working with Vue, you use Axios, so this should be useful https://gist.github.com/javilobo8/097c30a233786be52070986d8cdb1743

Thanks a lot for your help and all these resources! 😁

Although this assumes you stored the file in media or smth like that

Yeah, maybe I can store it temporary and then delete it when downloaded

If generating files from memory, it might be different

Thanks a lot for your help and all these resources! 😁

You welcome :)

You can do it with signals

Can you provide some example or documentation regarding to it, thanks

Quite easy to find... https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/signals/

Simpleisbetterthancomplex also has some useful tutorial with examples

Thanks will look to that

Thanks

Yw 😀

What would you use to generate a PDF or a DOCX in a DRF backend and then download it from a vue frontend, for example?

I use weasyprint, there is a table in which projects are compared. Mind that you should choose one compatible with django version u use and python3

Thanks, @trenixjetix that's one of my candidates indeed

I decided between two or three

Including reportlab

Simpleisbetterthancomplex also has some useful tutorial with examples

That tutorial is not that good. I dont see the need in storing in the filesystem. I saw better tutorials involving temporary files or even you dont have to store it in fs

And that is really important because you have to generate a pdf with a name, that if you got multiple users it may get overwrited

I think that reference was for another question

I know

Yeah, it was for signals :)
