Partial Word Search With Postgres Full Text Search in Django

Posted by brad

Django provides support for using Postgres's full text search feature, but there is no way to use this Django support to achieve the partial word search functionality one might find easy to implement with Django Haystack and Solr. This post describes a simple way to enable partial word search in Django without having to rely on solr and Haystack by writing a small amount of raw SQL.

Posted by Nasrullah

There's a misconception that security can be added with a product or service, or worked into an existing codebase as an afterthought.

I'll take a project—the development of a field that allows a user to resolve any URL on the site—and try to answer that question, digging deep into the internals of Django's fields and widgets along the way.

Create React App and Django

Posted by gavin

Create React App is a project generator for React apps, that sets up a build process for React and modern JavaScript with no configuration. It is a great way to get set up with all the tools necessary to write modern JavaScript. While it doesn't require any configuration if you deploy the React app as a static site, it does require some setup to integrate into a Django project.
