Hi all, I am currently writing an app that generates static files before serving them, and I could use some input! Here's a step-by-step example of how the app is setup:
- the url mapping pulls a database entry - using the data entry, static files are created from the data (for example, a *.jpeg or a *.gltf) - the app serves the html template with the generated static files embedded (for example, via an <img> tag) The issue comes with the creation of the unique static files. I can have the app create a file in the static folder, send it off, then delete the file to ready for the next request -- but the webpage will run into issues if multiple requests are made at the same time. If two people request the same url at the same time, the app will fail because both requests are trying to create/serve/delete an identical file (i.e. entry123.jpeg) at the same time. Trying to mess with the filename to avoid this won't work here either (i.e. naming entry123.01.jpeg, entry123.02.jpeg, entry123.03.jpeg, ...). I can think of two solutions, but they both are things I'd like to avoid: 1. have the files premade and stored -- I want to avoid this because of the massive filesize required for all these files 2. have the static files generated in a user-specific directory -- I want to avoid this because I'd rather not have registered users on my website Is there another solution to this? I'm still relatively new with Django, so there might be something simple I'm missing. -Jack -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
