Django Case Insensitive Field

# install from pypi
pip install django_case_insensitive_field

Django Case Insensitive Field is used to make Django Model Field case insensitive - by default Django can't do this.

Let's assume you have a username field on your UserModel which ofcourse would require username to be unique accross the table but to Django abc is different from ABC because it is case sensitive (meaning: users can use the same username but with different case).

Look at the example below:

from django.db import models

class UserModel(models.Model):

    username = models.CharField(max_length=16, unique=True)



user1 = UserModel(username='user1') # will go through


user2 = UserModel(username='User1') # will still go through

Using Django Case Insensitive Model

To make Django Model Field insensitive, you can use the code below:

# fields.py

from django_case_insensitive_field import CaseInsensitiveField


class LowerCharField(CaseInsensitiveMixin, CharField):
    """[summary]
    Makes django CharField case insensitive \n
    Extends both the `CaseInsensitiveMixin` and  CharField \n
    Then you can import 
    """

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

        super(CaseInsensitiveMixin, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) 

# models.py

from .fields import LowerCharField


class UserModel(models.Model):

    username = LowerCharField(max_length=16, unique=True)

user1 = UserModel(username='user1') # will go through


user2 = UserModel(username='User1') # will not go through
