#django

knowing all the things is quite useful

attempting to learn all the things at once usually is not

quite

One of these days, I really really want to have a good use for DRF myself.

That's not being facetious. I want to use it, I've just never had a good reason to.

I use it all the time these days, I kind of wish for the simpler days

now I'm just constantly writing API for js frontends or mobile apps to consume, it's boring

Knyght: Yeah, i've never had a project myself where an API for the frontend or mobile made any sense.

(just my experience, mind you)

I kind of hope GraphQL becomes a thing so I stop having to writeAPIs for js apps

thanks guys for your suggestions they make sense :)

Build a mobile app!

mikes000: I've always just built responsive sites.

Ah yea, if your not doing anything that has alot of endpoints it can be a little overkill, its just too easy to return json from your views

Is it possible to create an array in a template and loop through it? I'd like to do something like (pseudo): for link in ['Link 1', 'Link 2']: <a href='{% url 'something' link|slugify %}'>link</a>

for ManyToManyField, if myobj.things doesn't contain otherobj, will myobj.things.remove(otherobj) just do nothing?

I can just validate actually

in fact I already wrote validation and forgot

just out of curiosity, is Mymodel.objects.create() the same as Mymodel.objects.create_mymodel() ?

no

one exists, the other is create_mymodel

FunkyBob: don't get it

i just see it used both ways, and i think i usually use create() by itself

but see in doc mention of the other

can i place the django/contrib/auth/forms.py in my own project? thats gona be contrib/...... right

iGeni: It'd probably make more sense to subclass whichever form you want to modify.

yeah would be beter i gues for updates

hey pals, good evening :)

can anyone recommend a way to simplify this? https://dpaste.de/bQPQ
