okay i know how to configure nginx - uwsgi - django. How is nginx aware of the directory where my app has been bundled

Why? What do you need nginx to do?

Your app bundle ought to just be another static file.

without react before, it was simply dealing with views in django. Now I am trying to get nginx to show a default react page, after having configured react in my django project

I cant figure out why when nginx loads the index.html, it cant find the css and js file. I assumed it would make those requests through uwsgi

You may need to configure nginx so it knows where to look for the static files (css, js and images)

i went ahead and changed nginx's config to do just that ^

You might be making some relative path assumptions in your HTML.

it doesnt show me any errors in the log about being unable to find the files now

but it overwrites them

Can you dpaste your HTML template?

thanks schinckel

schinckel, hold on, dev environment is in a vm.

i see no errors in nginx log when i load my page, but when i look in chrome dev tools to see why i'm getting a syntax error in my js file, i see that it has my html code

Damn. Can't .update(range_field=(F('range_field__startswith'), new_value))

i checked my css file and it had my html code as well

How the hell are they getting overwritten?

You probably don't want to hard code `/static/` in there. That makes some presumptions.

You'll want to use the static files helpers.

is that a feature of django?

It's possible that it's just that your nginx is serving HTML content at those paths.

Yes.

well one thing i should note is that, my original nginx config had nothing for static files, since i assumed the requests were passed thru uwsgi to django. In my dev environment i changed the nginx config to serve static files from a full path in my dev environment, where they js and css files are stored

in docker however, nginx is in its own container

You should use django's static file handling, and collectstatic can then collect static files from possibly various locations, pre-process them and store them in a place nginx knows to look for them.

thank you, i'll look into that next

Oh neat, Safari Tech Preview will search the django docs if you type "django XXX" in the address bar.

I worry about this, as im trying to build a dynamic website

Static files doesn't mean your website is not dynamic.

It means these are things that don't change from request to request - like your CSS and JavaScript.

will that pose a problem in future if i want to setup django to do something with urls formatted as site.com/$someusername/$someprofilesection/ ?

No.

Indeed, using the django static files stuff will help in other ways, like when you decide to offload static files to a CDN.

wonderful stuff. thank you

hello world, is this how you use a vallidator ASCIIUsernameValidator()(username)

djapo: You often don't use them directly - you pass them as a list to validators kwargs in a model field.

But, IIRC, you can just call a validator on a value - and if it throws an exception it's invalid.

so more like VALIDATOR(value)

schinckel: this line sugests thats not how it would be called https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/dj...

You need an instantiated object, which is then callable.

The instantiation allows you to pass parameters, then the value you pass when calling it.

For instance:

URLValidator(schemes=['ssh', 'sftp'])('https://example.com/') would fail.

The general idea is that you'd create an instance, and use that in, for example a model definition.

Then, the single instance hangs around until it's needed, at which point it is called (which executes the __call__ method).

yeah, just as i thought it would. thanks

Hi everyone. Is there a pip compatible package to python-qrtools?

Compatible with... (I guess)

I was able to pip install some qr package. Let me see if I can find what it was.

karmavil: The one I used was https://pypi.org/project/PyQRCode/

(That was for generating QR codes for HomeKit).

Great. Thanks. I'm checking the qrtools package in pip.. checking at GitHub

https://github.com/primetang/qrtools ?

Because I need also a reader

Don't follow the sudo instructions though - that's not the way you want to install python packages.

I know

Good.

;)

:D thank you schinckel

OMG! I didn't realized that I should searched for qrdecode. Beautiful :) that's all I need
