Django - How to obtain corresponding row values from el-table after performing row-click?

I created a table in Django where upon doing row-click, the records for the corresponding row should be POSTED to the function "medicineRequestSelect" in view_doctor.py. However, it is unable to extract that row of values as shown in Image 1. It returns me None values.
I am relatively new to web development and any help or advice will be greatly appreciated!

First where are you getting your data's from? From your Models?
So if I understood correctly you should import the model you want your data from and then make queries to it using your model.
model = TheNameOfYourModel.objects.all()
and then you can make your queries using q

How to return JSON from FastAPI (backend) with websocket to Vue (frontend)?

I have an application, in which the frontend is implemented in Vue and the backend uses FastAPI framework. The communication is achieved through websockets.
Currently, the frontend allows the user to enter a term, which is sent to the backend to generate the autocomplete and also perform a search on a URL that returns a JSON object. In which, I save this JSON object in the frontend folder. After that, the backend returns the autocomplete data for the term in question to the frontend. The frontend displays the aucomplete along with the json data.
However, when I studied a little more, I noticed that there is a way to send the JSON returned by the request URL to Vue (frontend), without having to save it locally, avoiding giving an error of not allowing to execute this process more than once.
My current code is as follows. For FastAPI (backend):
#app.websocket("/")
async def predict_question(websocket: WebSocket):
await websocket.accept()
while True:
input_text = await websocket.receive_text()
autocomplete_text = text_gen.generate_text(input_text)
autocomplete_text = re.sub(r"[\([{})\]]", "", autocomplete_text)
autocomplete_text = autocomplete_text.split()
autocomplete_text = autocomplete_text[0:2]
resp = req.get('www.description_url_search_='+input_text+'')
datajson = resp.json()
with open('/home/user/backup/AutoComplete/frontend/src/data.json', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
json.dump(datajson, f, ensure_ascii=False, indent=4)
await websocket.send_text(' '.join(autocomplete_text))

Just convert your data to a json string with json.dumps(mydata)

using #Chris' tips on HTTP and after some research I managed to solve my problem. Below is the resolution.
In my backend FastAPI file I implemented HTTPX async (tip from #Chris). And after returning the JSON, I took the autocomplete term and added it to the first position of the JSON. Thus returning to Vue (frontend) a JSON with autocomplete and HTTPX data.
File FastAPI:
async def predict_question(websocket: WebSocket):
await manager.connect(websocket)
input_text = await websocket.receive_text()
if not input_text:
await manager.send_personal_message(json.dumps([]), websocket)
else:
autocomplete_text = text_gen.generate_text(input_text)
autocomplete_text = re.sub(r"[\([{})\]]", "", autocomplete_text)
autocomplete_text = autocomplete_text.split()
autocomplete_text = autocomplete_text[0:2]
resp = client.build_request("GET", 'www.description_url_search_='+input_text+'')
r = await client.send(resp)
datajson = r.json()
datajson.insert(0, ' '.join(autocomplete_text))
await manager.send_personal_message(json.dumps(datajson), websocket)
In the Autocomplete.vue file I made small changes.
First I merged the EstepeJson.vue file into Autocomplete.vue, especially the json reading part in the html.
Second, in the data: function(){} I added one more object, called myJson: [].
Third, in the receiveText method I changed the way to receive data from the websocket. Since now I have JSON.parse to convert event.data to JSON. Then I use the shift method to take the first position in the json and remove this data from the file. And finally, return the json to the myjson variable.
File Autocomplete.vue:
<template>
<div class="pad-container">
<div tabindex="1" #focus="setCaret" class="autocomplete-container">
<span #input="sendText" #keypress="preventInput" ref="editbar" class="editable" contenteditable="true"></span>
<span class="placeholder" data-ondeleteId="#editx" contenteditable="false">{{autoComplete}}</span>
</div>
</div>
<div v-for="regList in myJson" :key="regList" class="container" >
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Documento</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr v-for="countryList in regList[2]" :key="countryList">
<td style="visibility: visible">{{ countryList}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
...
data: function() {
return {
autoComplete: "",
maxChars: 75,
connection: null,
myJson: []
}
},
.....
...
receiveText(event) {
let result = JSON.parse(event.data)
this.autoComplete = result.shift();
this.myJson = result
}
</script>

First, instead of using Python requests library (which would block the event loop—see this answer for more details), I would strongly recommend using httpx, which offers an async API as well. Have a look at this answer and this answer for more details and working examples.
Second, to send data as JSON, you need to use await websocket.send_json(data), as explained in Starlette documentation. As shown in Starlette's websockets source code, Starlette/FastAPI will use text = json.dumps(data) (to serialise the data you passed) when calling the send_json() function. Hence, you need to pass a Python dict object. Similar to requests, in httpx you can call the .json() method on the response object to get the response data as a dict object, and then pass that dictionary to the send_json() function.
Working Example
from fastapi import FastAPI, WebSocket
from fastapi.responses import HTMLResponse
import httpx
app = FastAPI()
html = """
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Chat</title>

<h1>WebSocket Chat</h1>
<form action="" onsubmit="sendMessage(event)">
<input type="text" id="messageText" autocomplete="off"/>
<button>Send</button>
</form>
<ul id='messages'>
</ul>
<script>
var ws = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:8000/ws");
ws.onmessage = function(event) {

var message = document.createElement('li')
var content = document.createTextNode(event.data)
message.appendChild(content)
messages.appendChild(message)
};
function sendMessage(event) {
var input = document.getElementById("messageText")
ws.send(input.value)
input.value = ''
event.preventDefault()
}
</script>
</body>

"""
#app.on_event("startup")

# here, use httpx to issue a request, as demonstrated in the linked answers above
r = await app.state.client.get('http://httpbin.org/get')
await websocket.send_json(r.json())

Problem dealing with a space when moving JSON to Python

I am high school math teacher who is teaching myself programming. My apologies in advance if I don't phrase some of this correctly.
I am collecting CSV data from the user and trying to move it to a SQLite database via Python.
Everything works fine unless one of the values has a space in it.
For example, here is part of my JavaScript object:
Firstname: "Bruce"
Grade: ""
Lastname: "Wayne Jr"
Nickname: ""
Here is the corresponding piece after applying JSON.stringify:
{"Firstname":"Bruce","Lastname":"Wayne Jr","Nickname":"","Grade":""}
This is then passed to Python via a form. In Python, I use:
data = request.form.get("data")
print(data)
data2 = json.loads(data)
print(data2)
I get a bunch of error messages, ending with: json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Unterminated string starting at: line 1 column 250 (char 249) and the log of the first print gives:
[{"Firstname":"Jason","Lastname":"Bourne","Nickname":"","Grade":"10"},
{"Firstname":"Steve","Lastname":"McGarret","Nickname":"5-0","Grade":""},
{"Firstname":"Danny","Lastname":"Williams","Nickname":"Dano","Grade":"12"},
{"Firstname":"Bruce","Lastname":"Wayne
So it seems to break on the space in "Wayne Jr".
I used what I learned here to build the basics:
https://bl.ocks.org/HarryStevens/0ce529b9b5e4ea17f8db25324423818f
I believe this JavaScript function is parsing the user data:
function changeDataFromField(cb){
var arr = [];
$('#enter-data-field').val().replace( /\n/g, "^^^xyz" ).split( "^^^xyz" ).forEach(function(d){
arr.push(d.replace( /\t/g, "^^^xyz" ).split( "^^^xyz" ))
});
cb(csvToJson(arr));
}
Updates based on comments:
I am using a POST request. No AJAX.
There are actually 2 inputs for the user. A text box where they can paste CSV data and a file upload option. Here is some more of the JavaScript.
// Use the HTML5 File API to read the CSV
function changeDataFromUpload(evt, cb){
if (!browserSupportFileUpload()) {
console.error("The File APIs are not fully supported in this browser!");
} else {
var data = null;
var file = evt.target.files[0];
var fileName = file.name;
$("#filename").html(fileName);
if (file !== "") {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(event) {
var csvData = event.target.result;
var parsed = Papa.parse(csvData);
cb(csvToJson(parsed.data));
};
reader.onerror = function() {
console.error("Unable to read " + file.fileName);
};
}
reader.readAsText(file);
$("#update-data-from-file")[0].value = "";
}
}
// Method that checks that the browser supports the HTML5 File API
function browserSupportFileUpload() {
var isCompatible = false;
if (window.File && window.FileReader && window.FileList && window.Blob) {
isCompatible = true;
}
return isCompatible;
}
// Parse the CSV input into JSON
function csvToJson(data) {
var cols = ["Firstname","Lastname","Nickname","Grade"];
var out = [];
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++){
var obj = {};
var row = data[i];
cols.forEach(function(col, index){
if (row[index]) {
obj[col] = row[index];
}
else {
obj[col] = "";
}
});
out.push(obj);
}
return out;
}
// Produces table for user to check appearance of data and button to complete upload
function makeTable(data) {
console.log(data);
send_data = JSON.stringify(data);
console.log(send_data);
var table_data = '<table style="table-layout: fixed; width: 100%" class="table table-striped">';
table_data += '<th>First name</th><th>Last name</th><th>Nickname</th><th>Grade</th>'
for(var count = 0; count < data.length; count++) {
table_data += '<tr>';
table_data += '<td>'+data[count]['Firstname']+'</td>';
table_data += '<td>'+data[count]['Lastname']+'</td>';
table_data += '<td>'+data[count]['Nickname']+'</td>';
table_data += '<td>'+data[count]['Grade']+'</td>';
table_data += '</tr>';
}
table_data += '</table>';
table_data += '<p><form action="/uploaded" method="post">';
table_data += 'Does the data look OK? If so, click to upload. ';
table_data += '<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Upload</button><p>';
table_data += '<input type="hidden" id="data" name="data" value='+send_data+'>';
table_data += '<input type="hidden" name="class_id" value="{{ class_id }}">';
table_data += '</form>';
table_data += 'Otherwise, fix the file and reload.';
document.getElementById("result_table").innerHTML = table_data;
}
</script>

The JavaScript can be made a lot simpler. If you do the following instead, do you have any problems with the JSON getting cut off?
document.getElementById('update-data-from-file').addEventListener('change', function(evt){
var file = evt.target.files[0];
document.getElementById('filename').innerText = file.name
if (file === "")
return;
Papa.parse(file, {
header: true,
skipEmptyLines: true,
complete: function(results) {
json = results.data
console.log(json)
// Do stuff with the json here
}
});
document.getElementById('update-data-from-file').value = ''
})
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/PapaParse/5.0.2/papaparse.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<label>
Upload CSV
<input type="file" name="File Upload" id="update-data-from-file" accept=".csv" />
</label>
<div id="filename">No file chosen</div>
</body>
</html>

The problem was the way I was sending the JSON string -- it wasn't in quotes so anytime there was a space in a value, there was a problem.
To fix it: I got the JSON from the answer above, then before sending the JSON string via a POST request, I enclosed it in quotes.
send_data = JSON.stringify(json);
send_data = "'" + send_data + "'";
I am now able to send values that have spaces in it.

Django - How to Insert Multiple Form Data using JQuery Ajax

I want to perform a similar task like what described in the following video,
https://youtu.be/NoAdMtqtrTA?t=2156
To add multiple rows in the table and then insert it all in a batch to the database.
Any reference or any sample code will be really appreciable. Thank you.

The Javascript code is :
<script>
var data_dict = [];
// function called when Add row button is clicked
function Add_input_row()
{
var input_row ='<tr id="input_row">\
<td><input id="input1"></td>\
<td><input id="input2"></td>\
<td><button onclick="save_row()">save</button></td>\
</tr>';
var table_element = document.getElementById("data_table");
//do nothing if input_row already exists
if(document.getElementById("input_row")) {
alert("input row already exists !");
}
else {
table_element.innerHTML = table_element.innerHTML + input_row;
}
}
// function called when Save button is clicked
function save_row()
{
var field_val1 = document.getElementById("input1").value;
var field_val2 = document.getElementById("input2").value;
//unique id for each added data row needed when reading data directly from table
var data_id = data_dict.length;
//push the data to data dictionary
data_dict.push({
key: data_id,
value: [field_val1,field_val2]
});
var data_row ='<tr>\
<td id="data_field1'+data_id+'">'+field_val1+'</td>\
<td id="data_field2'+data_id+'">'+field_val2+'</td>\
<td></td>\
</tr>';
// remove input row
document.getElementById("input_row").remove();
//append data to table
var table_element = document.getElementById("data_table");
table_element.innerHTML = table_element.innerHTML + data_row;
}
// send data to django views
function update_database() {
var csrf_token = 'your_csrf_token';
$.ajax({
method: 'POST',
url: 'update_database', // name of your djnago view
data: {"datatobeupdated":data_dict,"csrfmiddlewaretoken" : csrf_token},
success: function (response) {
//when executed succesfully empty the data_dict and table
data_dict = [];
var table_element = document.getElementById("data_table");
table_element.innerHTML = "";
},
error: function (response) {
alert("Something Went Wrong");
}
});
}
The Html table is :
<table>
<thead>
<tr><th title="Field #1">Field1</th>
<th title="Field #2">Field2</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="data_table">
</tbody>
</table>
<button onclick="Add_input_row()">Add row</button>
<button onclick="Update()">Update</button>
You can access the data in your django view like :
def update_database(request):
if request.is_ajax():
request_data = request.POST
## data dictionary received
datatobeupdated = request_data['datatobeupdated']

Paginate through json data with Flask

I am using flask and generate tables that are filled with the JSON data that I retrieve. The problem that I have now is that I need to paginate through all the JSON data, because the maximum per page is set at '50'and I want to show all the products in my table.
So far I can't get this working and I don't really know how to get it working with Flask. I tried using a while loop, but that doesn't work with Jinja2 because that command is not recognized.
This is my Python code:
#app.route('/products',methods = ['POST', 'GET'])
def products():
shopnaam = request.form['shopname']
username = request.form['username']
password = request.form['password']
login = 'https://'+shopnaam+'example.com'
url = 'https://'+shopnaam+'.example.com/admin/products.json'
payload = {
'login[email]': username,
'login[password]': password
}
with requests.Session() as session:
post = session.post(login, data=payload)
r = session.get(url)
parsed = json.loads(r.text)
return render_template('producten.html',parsed = parsed)
This is my Jinja2 code:
<button class="collapsible">Bekijk product Informatie</button>
<div class="content">
<table id = "productentabel">
<tr class = "header">
<th>ID</th>
<th>Titel </th>
<th>Prijs Exclusief BTW</th>
<th>Prijs Inclusief BTW</th>
<th>Datum</th>
{% for product in parsed['products'] %}
<TR>
<TD width="100px" >{{product['id']}}</TD>
<TD width="300px" >{{product['nl']['title']}}</TD>
<TD width="150px">{{product['price_excl']}}</TD>
<TD width="150px">{{product['price_incl']}}</TD>
<TD width="300px">{{product['created_at']}}</TD>
</TR>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
<input class = "exportknop" value="Exporteer product informatie" type="button" onclick="$('#productentabel').table2CSV({header:['ID','Titel','Prijs Exclusief BTW', 'Prijs Inclusief BTW', 'Datum']})">
</div>
As you can see I am using a for loop, this code works, but the pagination is the issue.
My JSON looks like this:
products: [
{
article_code: "123",
barcode: "456",
brand_id: 2600822,
created_at: "2018-05-31T15:15:34+02:00",
data01: "",
data02: "",
data03: "",
delivery_date_id: null,
has_custom_fields: false,
has_discounts: false,
has_matrix: false,
hits: 0,
hs_code: null,
id: 72660113,
image_id: null,
is_visible: false,
price_excl: 33.0165,
price_incl: 39.95,
price_old_excl: 0,
price_old_incl: 0,
product_set_id: null,
product_type_id: null,
search_context: "123 456 789",
shop_id: 252449,
sku: "789",
supplier_id: 555236,
updated_at: "2018-05-31T15:15:34+02:00",
variants_count: 1,
visibility: "hidden",
weight: 0,
links: {
first: ".json",
last: ".json?page=70",
prev: null,
next: ".json?page=2",
count: 3497,
limit: 50,
pages: 70
}
So links is where the pagination happens, I tried the following in my Python code and with this I get all the values printed in my python terminal. Only I can't send the data to the tables.
while url:
with requests.Session() as session:
post = session.post(login, data=payload)
r = session.get(url)
parsed = json.loads(r.text)
for product in parsed['products']:
print(product['id'], product['nl']['title'])
url = 'https://example/admin/products' + parsed['links']['next']

So a couple things to consider here. First, using a generator to create web content is going to be next to impossible outside of a websocket or async calls. The reason is that WSGI needs all the data to come before it renders. Then it closes the connection. You can yield data, but in a table, this is going to cause problems in raw html.
What to do:
I would use something like datatables (datatables.net) feed your table data into a variable, and let datatables handle the pagination for you.
Example using Bootstrap 4 and DataTables.
<script>
var dataSet = []
var wurl = ""
tablex = $('#tablex').dataTable( {
select: true,
stateSave: true,
colReorder: true,
deferRender: true,
"oLanguage": {"sSearch": "Filter:"},
columns: [
{ title: "Number" },
{ title: "Client Name" },
{ title: "Opened" },
{ title: "Closed" },
{ title: "Worked" }
]
} );
function generate() {
$.get(wurl, function( data ) {
dataSet = data;
tablex.fnDestroy();
tablex = $('#tablex').dataTable( {
data: dataSet,
select: true,
stateSave: true,
colReorder: true,
deferRender: true,
"oLanguage": {"sSearch": "Filter:"},
columns: [
{ title: "Number" },
{ title: "Client Name" },
{ title: "Opened"},
{ title: "Closed"},
{ title: "Worked"}
],
} );
});
};
$(document).ready(function() {
wurl = '/api/getdata';
generate()
} );
</script>
I first establish just a base table, and then I call an API and load that table with data in the background. You could even have this poll and refresh the dataset on an interval if you wanted. The API just delivers the raw data in a column output.
Your table id is "tablex" in this example.
Your API route can be anything, just a return value of your output that is in column and row format.
