Django debug toolbar?

[ddahan]

Is there a way to make Django debug toolbar work with django ninja?
I noticed there is a package dedicated to this for fastAPI.
If there is a simple way to make it work, I think it should be documented, as it's very useful.
Thanks.

It should work out of the box ? did you try - what was the issue ?

[ddahan]

Yes. I installed Django Debug Toolbar (DDT), it works as expected (for example with the Django admin).
Then, I went to http://localhost:8000/api/docs. Loading this page triggers DDT.
Then, I tried to execute queries from this doc, using the "try it out" button. Unfortunately, despite the query is executed, this has no effect on DDT.

I guess the api docs use some sort of AJAX without changing the page URL, so DDT is unable to intercept the query.

@ddahan

yeah, Debug Toolbar does not support ajax requests by default

I think you need to enable History Panel
django-commons/django-debug-toolbar#1250

https://django-debug-toolbar.readthedocs.io/en/latest/panels.html#debug_toolbar.panels.history.HistoryPanel

This panel shows the history of requests made and allows switching to a past snapshot of the toolbar to view that request’s stats.

Great, thanks. I'm indeed able to take a look to AJAX requests browsing this history.
