OBEY THE TESTING GOAT
Do you think it is a good idea to let programmer backend and frontend study each other?
@annshress thanks for the goat reference, I found one can read it online for free, very good book! :D
I don't get what you are doing there @elcolie
@theodesp referenced it. I have never used a TDD approach. I plan to use it someday :sparkles:
Ah yes, thanks to both! :D
I have never used it myself, I always make tests, but after the fact
I plan to make it my mantra.
:+1:
:D
Is anyone using Class Based Consumers in Django-Channels?
I found it good because it builds progressively the examples
and you can follow along
hi good people any idea on how i can create dynamic forms with django?
I know the package django-crispy-forms
Any data structure enthusaist out there?
Anybody know a good way to use a Model as a template for an object without actually making database entries? I have an applet that used a ModelForm to process the data and then performs calculations on it via a function named process_data(model_instance). I want to now make a version of the applet that anonymous users can access. Is there a pythonic way of doing this? I don't really want to make a new version of my process_data() that has to accept a form as an argument and rewrite all the syntax for accessing data from a form instead of an object. Any advice?
@theodesp i can not create dynamic form fields with django-crispy
i think is quite tricky to do as you need create a form from the POST request that will pass all validations and then you need to return the validated data. So if you need something dynamic you need to create a form factory method of something
Hmmm. Possibly just checking form.is_valid() and then building an iterator to pass all the fields of the valid form into a ModelInstance?
the idea of the forms it to provide model validation that conforms with the database model validation
Right yeah, I guess I don't really need that in this case, I just don't want to 1) rewrite all that code and 2) have two versions of the same applet as that's twice as hard to maintain
Hi everyone, who lives in NYC?
@theodesp yep, that was the winning strategy. I just subclassed the Model, set the meta attribute managed to False, then built an iterator in the view as such:
fields = form.fields
# initialize a dict and fill with form data
_data ={}
for key in fields.iterkeys():
_data[key] = form[key].value()
_data.pop("savedTests") # doesn't belong in Model
# initialize a Model instance from the dictionary
instance = AnonFlowTest(**_data)
Yes otherwise it will fail to save
Is there still no support for getting pks on
bulk_create() with mysql?
