How can I implement keystroke live update from a database? - django

I am developing a web app with a "search functionality", in the search functionality, I would like the app to display the database matches with every keystroke in the search field by the user. The picture below shows what I am trying to achieve.
I am developing with Python Django.
thanking you in advance.

I think this is not included by default of Django,
You should use a combination of jQuery or something like that, for example, you'll see it - http://www.lalicode.com/post/5/

How to render a pdf file as pdf in browser using django

I am using Django web frame work. I am taking pdf files from users (notes/book/etc). Then I want to display those pdf in website, but I could not find a way. Methods that failed 1)iframe 2)simple rendering using django 3)pdf.js library. Also browser blocks rendering initially. Care to suggest a method and steps to implement it.
I the answer to your problem is here :
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/howto/outputting-pdf/
Well the answer has to be very very clear here. You can not display pdf using. There is no such library for that. Like pdf.js for javascript based frameworks. I have done the research. So if you want a really good pdf viewer for your django powered website you have to use pdf.js for sure. I have asked people working with django professionally.

Selenium - show notes about what is going on in browser

I'm working on Selenium test which simulates every User action on my website. From registration to modifying forms etc.
There are hundreds of actions so I would like to see what is currently going on. Is there a way to add some notes to Selenium so I can see them in the browser real time? For example some transparent overlay with text?
I think it is possible to create a workaround using AJAX but maybe there is something built in.

How to turn a Django webpage into a PDF

I would like to add a feature to my Django website where the user can click on a link saying "Save as PDF". I would like this link to 1) produce a slightly different version of the page the user is currently on and 2) generate a PDF file in a separate window that the user can then save to wherever he or she wants.
All of the PDF functions I came across related to Django assumed that you already had a PDF that you wanted to render. In this case though, I want to create a PDF based on the content of the current page. Any idea how to do this? Thank you.
You can try this tool WeasyPrint. You can use it with Django
Any webpage is just a HTML basically so any html to pdf library would work. But this one is specifically built for django. Hope this helps.

Create custom django widget for timefield with now option

I have models with datetimefields and timefields. When the user interacts with these fields in a form they often just need to enter the current time. I need a now link almost exactly like what shows up in the django admin, so the user can just click it and the current time gets put in the field.
I tried looking through the django source but it seems to utilize some frontend javascript which I'm not very familiar with. Is there a simple way to make a widget that can be easily used in a timefield and datetimefield?
So this is not on the admin panel? As in on the site? Then this is not really a question to be posed to Django, I suggest tagging javascript. If you are unfamiliar with javascript, then tag jquery, they have things for this.
In case you're lazy, here's a start:

jQuery premade

Sorry, but this is more of a UI issue than a Django issue. Hope I helped, though.
