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.
📢 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.
Here's a generic response for object creation with django-ninja:
class GenericCreatedSchema(Schema, Generic[EmbeddedType]):
success: bool
created_object: EmbeddedType
= use the same generic response template for ALL object creation endpoints.
But even better: I can use different response types in the same API endpoint, using HTTP status codes - depending on which fields are exposed to the user.
All of this translates to OpenAPI spec automatically 💯
Oy! Today, it's the 10 year anniversary for #Django PR#2692 🥳
It's definitely worth celebrating how the good forces were victorious against all the loud mouth conservatives/trolls. Since my office is full today, I might need to get both a primary cake and a replica cake for redundancy 🍰
Congrats and thanks to @fcurella and everyone else involved in this.
Early AM, we begin to work on the Django framwork via Python. I've feared the framework for a while, but today I am going to handle it. Never let the programming lang handle me. lol.
