bear-django-request-normalizer 0.2.0

A Django middleware to clean and normalize incoming request data (GET, POST, JSON).

Django Request Normalizer

A configurable Django middleware that automatically cleans and normalizes incoming request data before it reaches your views.

Features

• Trims Whitespace: Strips leading/trailing whitespace from all string values.
• Normalizes Booleans: Converts string values like "true" and "false" to actual booleans.
• Normalizes Nulls: Converts string "null", empty strings "" for ID fields, and integer 0 for ID fields to None.
• Cleans Email: Removes spaces and lowercases email fields.
• Handles All Data: Works seamlessly with GET parameters, application/json, multipart/form-data, and x-www-form-urlencoded data.
• Configurable: You can enable/disable the middleware or specify which URL prefixes it should act on.

Installation

pip install django-request-normalizer

Usage

1. Add the middleware to your MIDDLEWARE list in settings.py. It should be placed before any middleware that accesses request data, such as DRF's authentication classes or your own views.

# settings.py
MIDDLEWARE = [
    # ...
    'request_normalizer.middleware.RequestNormalizerMiddleware',
    # ...
]
