I have availability for a new client. I specialise in #django as backend and can deal with any frontend. Or if nothing exists I am quite happy to come in a build something from scratch.
I work on a fractional/part-time basis.
Drop me a line or book a call via my site (see my profile)
I've finally finished my new #Django module, "django-cool-urls". You can use it to make sure your site never has another outgoing dead link, or just to convert YouTube embeds into proper <video> tags pointing to local files.
@sabderemane great idea! I wrote a response, seems I've missed these discussions. CSP is really important, agreed, so it's maybe important enough to try to make Django do some work here... although I'd worry that it's not possible to switch it on by default because of the overlap with HTTP servers (like Nginx add_header).
@stuartm Yes it’s nice that Django is stable and reliable, though I’d also be happy to see some more mass-refactorable changes to make things more ergonomic :)
Is it me or is the #Django documentation for project templates uncharacteristically bad?
Like, I have so many questions about how this templating works. Do I get to template filenames? How? Can I include the template as a subdirectory in a repository, or do I need to have it hosted in its own? How about providing one as part of a wheel?
I would love to build a project template into NomNom, so that later worldcons can just “django-admin startapp --template nomnom:basic_template" or something.
What are the best practices / good project templates for starting a #Django project in 2024? Things that I used to do are cargo-culted in my own brain from 5 years ago, has anyone written a good recent guide?
Would any #Django nerds be willing to chat with me next week about API design?
Specifically JsonResponse, custom json serializers involving like a thousand foreign keys, pagination, DRF. Basically- how to take a very complex schema and render out 100 massive json blobs at a time for core objects. sort of like stripe.
They are compelling even if you don't use Ninja to take the edge off of JSON to models and back. The stopgap in their docs is that they assume you know pydantic which is their foundation.
📢 Django Day Copenhagen 2024 will be held on Friday October 4th and the Call for Participation is now open 📢
If you have never given a talk, if your talk idea is completely new, untested or rather whack, our message is the same: START BREWING! 🎷 🛠️ 💡 (or maybe encourage someone else)
> Custom tags may now set extra data on the Parser object that will later be made available on the Template instance. Such data may be used, for example, by the template loader, or other template clients.
#Appreciation for @carlton today. I have recently opened an issue and a PR on his repos and the responses have been of kindness and thoughtfulness to my potential ramblings (especially the issue I raised then closed!)
Django 5.1 alpha 1 is now available. It represents the first stage in the 5.1 release cycle and is an opportunity for you to try out the changes coming in Django 5.1.
This alpha milestone marks the feature freeze. The current release schedulecalls for a beta release in about a month and a release candidate about a month from then. We'll only be able to keep this schedule if we get early and often testing from the community. Updates on the release schedule are available on the Django forum.
As with all alpha and beta packages, this is not for production use. But if you'd like to take some of the new features for a spin, or to help find and fix bugs (which should be reported to the issue tracker), you can grab a copy of the alpha package from our downloads page or on PyPI.
The PGP key ID used for this release is Natalia Bidart: 2EE82A8D9470983E.
@nanorepublica the trick for me here would be encapsulating this into a TemplateResponse subclass, so the the rest of your view logic don’t know anything about the messages wiggle. 🤔
