Install
$ pip install django-dirtyfields
Usage
To use django-dirtyfields, you need to:
Inherit from DirtyFieldsMixin in the Django model you want to track.
from django.db import models from dirtyfields import DirtyFieldsMixin class TestModel(DirtyFieldsMixin, models.Model): """A simple test model to test dirty fields mixin with""" boolean = models.BooleanField(default=True) characters = models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=80)
Use one of these 2 functions on a model instance to know if this instance is dirty, and get the dirty fields:
is_dirty()
get_dirty_fields()
Example
>>> from tests.models import TestModel
>>> tm = TestModel.objects.create(boolean=True,characters="testing")
>>> tm.is_dirty()
False
>>> tm.get_dirty_fields()
{}
>>> tm.boolean = False
>>> tm.is_dirty()
True
>>> tm.get_dirty_fields()
{'boolean': True}
