I sent an email that includes a transparent 1x1 pixel png with a source of mysite.com/cookie.png - I set a cookie at that point and return the png file

do any of you intergrate javascript frameworks with your django apps? or do you just use the django templating system?

MrFantastik: Depending on which frameworks you mean, there isn't necessarily any integration needed.

i want to learn something like react or angular to make me more hirable im having a hard time finding jobs, i really don't know what the frameworks do though or the advantages of using one

other than maybe putting computation load on user instead of the server

they make things more api friendly, less page reloads

harmaahylje: Yes, I have used it. How should I do that?

What method should I override?

harmaahylje: I have just defined the form_class, template_name and success_url in that view.

mojtaba: look at the various mixins in inherits from https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/clas...

gotta sleep ->

Hey guys. Im using a framework that imports 'decorator_include', and I have both django-decorator-include and decorator installed from pip... but I still get 'no module'. I have no idea what I'm missing.

in what context does one use @property in a model? can I query objects and access a that property?

sphrak_: it works the same way you'd expect it to on any python class

with a @property method, you'll have access to `self`, an instance of the model.

Just return whatever value you want

hmm I see, but I couldnt do like x = Model.objects.get(pk=1), then x.property_name? I guess I have some reading to do hehe

sphrak_: yes, you can do exactly that.

thats supercool, thank you savid :)

Quick design question. When making a restful API is it okay if different methods at the same resource have different schemas?

Like a delete request doesn't need data, just an identifier, whereas a POST on the same resource would fail without the required data.

That's a dumb question never mind I am confusing myself

mRWaffles_: not a dumb question, but sounds like you know the answer. Typically a REST resource only requires data during POST/PUT/PATCH operations.

If you're using Django, I'd highly recommend checking out django-rest-framework.

Yeah I am slightly familiar with restframework and love it, but now I'm trying to design a serverless api using AWS API Gateway and Lambda

A noble effort. As a cautionary tale -- I tried that once and regretted it (mainly due to trying to get auth to work). Lambda is pretty cool, though. I at least recommend staying away from Cognito for user auth and just use JWT instead.

foo: yes, that would be a keyword argument. But you'd have to override the form class to pass that in, I think. I'm not familiar with django-formtools, though.

how do I actually MAKE a geoposition? https://github.com/philippbosch/django-geoposition

doing m.geoposition = (lat,long) and m.geoposition = {'lat':lat,'long':long} do not work

[redacted]

[redacted]

i build it myself, personally.

but i haven't looked at django-formtools for quite some time, so i can't really say anything about it...

foo: unfortunately not, i just write the code on a per-project basis usually, and those are not on github

i don't have a general solution

[redacted]

i try to keep my form classes thin

[redacted]

foo: i mean that my forms are usually just a few lines of code and know nothing about how they are presented

i think of forms as validators

[redacted]

would this (if I got the _set thing correct) allow me to call obj.group_name to get a string like model-{}- [..] https://dpaste.de/Ojkf
