Reset Postgres Sequences On Every Migrate

If you create alot of data via fixtures or by inserting the pk you will more than likely see alot of issues with the sequences being out in postgres when creating new records. Similar to: Foo with the pk(x) already exists This you have to fix by updating the postgres sequences to start at the correct number. The below will ensure after every migrate all sequences in predefined apps get reset.

inline forms for deeply nested models

I had a problem trying to display my model would have a foreign key and that model would have one too etc. Now there was a point I wanted to display the foreign keys of that field and display its fields and so on so forth. This pretty much expands the models by getting the base form that worked best for me. It is intended to only work alongside `Forms`. I haven't been able to get it to work with `ModelForm`. Example usage: forms.py class AddressForm(forms.Form): address_0 = forms.CharField(label="address", max_length=64) address_1 = forms.CharField( label="address cont'd", max_length=64, required=False) city = forms.CharField(max_length=64) state = USStateField(widget=USStateSelect) # django_localflavor_us.forms zip_code = USZipCodeField(label='zipcode') # django_localflavor_us.forms class ContactInfoForm(ForeignKeyFormMixin, forms.Form): name = forms.CharField(max_length=50) # address = model.ForeignKey(Address) # is a foreignkey in my model for Address phone = PhoneNumberField() # phonenumber_field.formfields (irrelevant could very well be forms.CharField) fax = PhoneNumberField(required=False) # phonenumber_field.formfields (irrelevant could very well be forms.CharField) email = forms.EmailField() foreign_keys = {'address': AddressForm} # foreign forms I want to introduce, key acts as a related_name def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(ContactInfoForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) class GenerationForm(ForeignKeyFormMixin, forms.Form): company = forms.CharField(max_length=50) code = forms.CharField(max_length=50, required=False) # contact = model.ForeignKey(ContactInfo) # is a foreignkey in my model for Contact # facility_address = model.ForeignKey(AddressForm, related_name='facility') # is a foreignkey in my model for Address # mailing_address = model.ForeignKey(AddressForm, related_name='mailing') # is a foreignkey in my model for Address foreign_keys = {'contact': ContactInfoForm, 'facility_address': AddressForm, 'mailing_address': AddressForm} view.py def generation_create_view(self): if self.request.method == 'POST': generator_form = GenerationForm(self.request.POST) if generator_form.is_valid(): cleaned_data = generator_form.cleaned_data (contact_address, created) = Address.objects.get_or_create( address_0=cleaned_data['contact_address_address_0'], # notice naming. trying to keep it orgnized as possible and reuse the "foreign key" you want to expand address_1=cleaned_data['contact_address_address_1'], city=cleaned_data['contact_address_city'].title(), state=cleaned_data['contact_address_state'][:2].upper(), zip_code=cleaned_data['contact_address_zip_code'], ) print contact_address (contact_info, created) = ContactInfo.objects.get_or_create( name=cleaned_data['contact_name'], address=contact_address, phone=cleaned_data['contact_fax'], email=cleaned_data['contact_email'], ) print contact_info # ... # (assuming you have created other models as above) (generator, created) = Generator.objects.get_or_create( contact=contact_info, company=cleaned_data['company'], facility_address=facility_address, mailing_address=mailing_address, code=cleaned_data['code'], ) return redirect('to some where') else: generator_form = GenerationForm() return render(request, 'generation_create.html', {'generator_form': generator_form, }) generator_form.html # assuming your standard form tags are setup `<form class="form"...>...`. you would access form and display as follows # I am using https://django-bootstrap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html # to help display forms in bootstrap <p class="lead">Contact</p> {% bootstrap_form generator_form.contact %} # can also just do {{ generator_form.contact }} {% bootstrap_field generator_form.company %} # can also just do {{ generator_form.company }} <p class="lead">Facility:</p> {% bootstrap_form generator_form.facility_address %} # can also just do {{ generator_form.facility_address }} <p class="lead">Mailing:</p> {% bootstrap_form generator_form.mailing_address %} # can also just do {{ generator_form.mailing_address }} {% bootstrap_field generator_form.code %} # can also just do {{ generator_form.code }}

Do Not Escape Characters When Using dumpdata Command (Tested in Django 1.11)

Adds `--pretty` option to django `./manage.py dumpdata` command, which produces pretty utf-8 strings instead of ugly unicode-escaped s**t: > $ ./manage.py dumpdata app.pricingplan --indent=1 <pre> <code>[ { "pk": 1, "model": "app.pricingplan", "fields": { "name": "\u0411\u0430\u0437\u043e\u0432\u044b\u0439", } }, { "pk": 2, "model": "app.pricingplan", "fields": { "name": "\u0425\u0443\u044f\u0437\u043e\u0432\u044b\u0439", } } ] </code> </pre> > ./manage.py dumpdata app.pricingplan --indent=1 --pretty <pre> <code>[ { "pk": 1, "model": "app.pricingplan", "fields": { "name": "Базовый", } }, { "pk": 2, "model": "app.pricingplan", "fields": { "name": "Хуязовый", } } ] </code> </pre> Forked from an [old versions snippet](https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2258/)

CBV decorator from view function decorator

The Mixin approach for applying permissions to CBV views suffers from 3 issues: 1. you need to read the code to see what permissions are being applied to a View 2. multiple bits of disparate code required to specify, e.g., a simple permission check 3. permissions set on a base class are overridden by permission set on sub-class, unless special care is taken Here's a nice trick, using only built-in django machinery, apply a decorator intended to decorate a django view function to a CBV view. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/class-based-views/intro/#decorating-the-class This approach works for any function decorators with arguments - simply wrap it in a function that takes the same arguments: def my_cbv_decorator(*args **kwargs): return method_decorator(a_view_function_decorator(*args, **kwargs), name='dispatch') Use your new CBV decorator to decorate View sub-classes: @my_cbv_decorator('some_parameter') class MyCBView(django.views.generic.TemplateView): pass # dispatch method for this view is now wrapped by a_view_function_decorator Note: you can also pass decorator parameter directly to method_decorator, but wrapping it up like this makes the code read nicer.

Automigrate, autocreatesuperuser if not User.count() in runserver and use manage.py:main as entrypoint

With this awesome manage.py, it will try to migrate first when called with runserver. Also, this manege.py has super power to be used in your entry point as such: entry_points = { 'console_scripts': [ # u haz a setup.py -> u haz importable module :) 'yourcommand = yourproject.manage:main', ], }, Example output: $ yourcommand runserver Operations to perform: Apply all migrations: auth, contenttypes, admin, sessions Running migrations: Rendering model states...

Welcome in 2017, where automation is king System check identified no issues (0 silenced). September 17, 2017 - 21:21:41 Django version 1.9.10, using settings 'crudlfap_example.settings' Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/ Quit the server with CONTROL-C. Extra note: it doesn't matter if migrate crashes for now, since django runserver doesn't support not being able to connect to database. So most of the time I hope to shouldn't need to disable this hack.

Compact primary keys

If the primary key on a table is an integer, it can be desirable after a lot of adding and removing either during testing (as was my case) or otherwise, to tidy up the key space a little and see the primary keys run up as unbroken sequences from 1. An excellent snippet here: https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2915/ showed us how change the primary key value from in a given table and in all tables that relate to it (have a foreign key pointing into it). We can exploit that to achieve this outcome with integrity. For any given table we just fetch the primary keys into a sorted list and then walk the list assigning key 1, 2, 3, 4 etc where needed (if it doesn't already have that key).Because our list is sorted we're always moving tuples down the ladder of available keys to next empty slot basically until we've compacted the whole list. And voila. Mission accomplished. Works in with database introspection, in part because the integrity of relations is a little obscured by the ORM which hides intermediary tables in ManyToMany relationships and such. At the database API level these concerns all disappear. Built and tested with Django 1.11 but the form only goes to 1.10 here. Not even sure it works on 1.10. Certainly the snippet I based it on didn't work in 1.11 and need some updating.
