Django Async Views: Handling Database Queries with Async ORM in Django 4.1
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm running into an scenario while trying to use async views with Django 4.1 and the async ORM. I have an async view that fetches data from the database, but I'm working with the behavior `RuntimeError: This event loop is already running` when trying to execute a database query using `await`. Here's a simplified version of my code: ```python from django.http import JsonResponse from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404 from .models import MyModel async def my_async_view(request): instance = await MyModel.objects.get(id=1) # This line causes the behavior return JsonResponse({'data': instance}) ``` I've also tried wrapping the database call in a separate function like this: ```python async def get_instance(): return await MyModel.objects.get(id=1) async def my_async_view(request): instance = await get_instance() # Still throws the same behavior return JsonResponse({'data': instance}) ``` I've ensured that I have `asgiref` installed and that my Django settings are configured to support async views. I'm running the server with `daphne` as my ASGI server. Any insights on why I'm hitting this behavior would be really helpful! Are there specific configurations I need to check or is my approach fundamentally flawed? I'm working on a service that needs to handle this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
