Django Chutney

Tasty accompaniments to go with the Django web framework

My personal collection of miscellaneous useful bits of code for use in Django projects.

Installation

pip install django-chutney

Usage

The library is intended to be a pick and mix bucket from which you can choose to use whichever bits you want.

Test cases

Handy test cases for testing HTML pages and forms.

These require BeautifulSoup to be installed:

pip install beautifulsoup4>=4

from chutney.test.testcases import FormTestCase, SoupCase

class MyTestCase(SoupSoup):

    def test_page(self):
        response = self.client.get(reverse("my_view"))
        soup = self.soup(response)
        # Test that a link to a specific URL exists, with order-insensitive query params
        self.assert_link_in_soup(soup, "https://www.thing.com/?unordered=query&params=value")


class MyFormTestCase(FormTestCase):

    def test_form_page(self):
        page_response = self.client.get(reverse("my_view"))
        # Submit a form to the page, with automatic checking that the values you're submitting are
        # possible values for a browser to submit based on the HTML of the form in the page.
        # Also submits hidden values that are in the form, even if you don't specific them.
        data = {"field1": "some-value"}
        post_response = self.submit_form(response, "#my-form", data)
        self.assertEqual(post_response.status_code, 302)

Template tags & filters

{% load chutney_tags %}
<p>
    Use a variable in the template as a key/attribute to extract an item from a dict/object:
</p>
<p>
    {{ my_dict|get:my_var }}
</p>
