Re: Static Code analysis and Security Scanning tools for Django Web Applications

I also use safety to scan for package vulnerabilities in the pipeline. This is similar to a repo-scanning app like Dependabot or Snyk. Prospector is decent, although I found it preferable to use pre-commit to wire up individual tools

Using activate() to set the timezone in Model Admin

I'd like to have my Admin site use a different default timezone than the rest of my django app. I prefer the backend and API to operate in UTC, because this is a general good practice for geographically distributed teams. However admin users (based in a specific timezone) find this confusing, a

Re: Where are you deploying Django App? How much does it cost for a hobby project

You can deploy to Heroku, there's a free tier and it's very low maintenance. https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/deploying-python I've had a free Django app running there that I set up almost 10 years ago without any work required to keep it up since then. Heroku is somewhat expensive if you

Handling multiple timezones in Django Admin

Timezone handling in the Django admin is quite confusing when there are users in multiple timezones -- does anyone have a good way of handling this? I'm using USE_TZ=True, TIME_ZONE='UTC', USE_I18N, USE_L10N. I have admin users in US/Pacific and US/Eastern. When viewing a datetime field, users

Re: In the Admin, Is it possible to make filters on foreign keys usable with lots of related objects?

That's a pretty inflexible solution though; what if I want to filter on multiple foreign keys, e.g. Tenant=Foo(id=1), Customer=Bar(id=200)? On Fri, Feb 2, 2018 at 12:57 PM, Andy wrote: > You should rather use search_fields instead of filtering together with the > sorting ability of the admin. Th

Re: Newbie - Microservice in Django - Best place to start learning

Assuming you're trying to build a REST API and not a HTML website, you should look at http://www.django-rest-framework.org/ as it provides a lot of djangonic convenience methods for building REST APIs with the Django ORM. On Thursday, February 1, 2018 at 9:16:47 AM UTC-8, pratibha sharma wrote:

Currently it's simple to configure a filter on a foreign key in the admin: `list_filter = ['theforeignkeyfield']` However in practice this is barely usable in most cases that I've encountered, since the admin uses RelatedFieldListFilter, which fetches the full list of objects from the DB and lo

Re: Automatic reverse migrations

I think it's possible to do better than the current status quo with a bit more metadata, and without changing the current flow for users that don't want/need more -- essentially all I'm looking for is a way to record which migrations were applied in a given run of `./manage.py migrate`, so that I c
