Background

This package aims to provide tools needed to define custom field validation logic which can be used independently or with django forms, test cases, API implementation or any model operation that requires saving data to the database.

This can also be extended by defining check constraints if needed but currently validation will only be handled at the model level.

Installation

pip install django-extra-field-validation

Usage

Require all fields

from django.db import models
from extra_validator import FieldValidationMixin


class TestModel(FieldValidationMixin, models.Model):
    amount = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True)
    fixed_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=7, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True)
    percentage = models.DecimalField(max_digits=3, decimal_places=0, null=True, blank=True)

    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['amount']  # Always requires an amount to create the instance.

Example

In [1]: from decimal import Decimal

In [2]: from demo.models import TestModel

In [3]: TestModel.objects.create(fixed_price=Decimal('3.00'))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                   Traceback (most recent call last)
...

ValueError: {'amount': ValidationError([u'Please provide a value for: "amount".'])}

Require at least one field in a collection

from django.db import models
from extra_validator import FieldValidationMixin


class TestModel(FieldValidationMixin, models.Model):
    amount = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True)
    fixed_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=7, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True)
    percentage = models.DecimalField(max_digits=3, decimal_places=0, null=True, blank=True)

    REQUIRED_TOGGLE_FIELDS = [
        ['amount', 'fixed_price', 'percentage'],  # Require only one of the following fields.
    ]

Example

In [1]: from decimal import Decimal

In [2]: from demo.models import TestModel

In [3]: TestModel.objects.create(amount=Decimal('2.50'), fixed_price=Decimal('3.00'))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                   Traceback (most recent call last)
...

ValueError: {'fixed_price': ValidationError([u'Please provide only one of: Amount, Fixed price, Percentage'])}

Optionally require at least one field in a collection

from django.db import models
from extra_validator import FieldValidationMixin


class TestModel(FieldValidationMixin, models.Model):
    amount = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True)
    fixed_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=7, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True)
    percentage = models.DecimalField(max_digits=3, decimal_places=0, null=True, blank=True)

    OPTIONAL_TOGGLE_FIELDS = [
        ['fixed_price', 'percentage']  # Optionally validates that only fixed price/percentage are provided when present.
    ]

Example

In [1]: from decimal import Decimal

In [2]: from demo.models import TestModel

In [3]: first_obj = TestModel.objects.create(amount=Decimal('2.0'))

In [4]: second_obj = TestModel.objects.create(amount=Decimal('2.0'), fixed_price=Decimal('3.00'))

In [5]: third_obj = TestModel.objects.create(amount=Decimal('2.0'), fixed_price=Decimal('3.00'), percentage=Decimal('10.0'))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                   Traceback (most recent call last)
...

ValueError: {'percentage': ValidationError([u'Please provide only one of: Fixed price, Percentage'])}

Conditionally require all fields

from django.db import models
from django.conf import settings
from extra_validator import FieldValidationMixin


class TestModel(FieldValidationMixin, models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)

    amount = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True)
    fixed_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=7, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True)
    percentage = models.DecimalField(max_digits=3, decimal_places=0, null=True, blank=True)

    CONDITIONAL_REQUIRED_FIELDS = [
        (
            lambda instance: instance.user.is_active, ['amount', 'percentage'],
        ),
    ]

Example

In [1]: from decimal import Decimal

in [2]: from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

In [3]: from demo.models import TestModel

In [4]: user = get_user_model().objects.create(username='test', is_active=True)

In [5]: first_obj = TestModel.objects.create(user=user, amount=Decimal('2.0'))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                   Traceback (most recent call last)
...

ValueError: {u'percentage': ValidationError([u'Please provide a value for: "percentage"'])}

Conditionally require at least one field in a collection

from django.db import models
from django.conf import settings
from extra_validator import FieldValidationMixin


class TestModel(FieldValidationMixin, models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)

    amount = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True)
    fixed_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=7, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True)
    percentage = models.DecimalField(max_digits=3, decimal_places=0, null=True, blank=True)

    CONDITIONAL_REQUIRED_TOGGLE_FIELDS = [
        (
            lambda instance: instance.user.is_active, ['fixed_price', 'percentage', 'amount'],
        ),
    ]

Example

In [1]: from decimal import Decimal

in [2]: from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

In [3]: from demo.models import TestModel

In [4]: user = get_user_model().objects.create(username='test', is_active=True)

In [5]: first_obj = TestModel.objects.create(user=user)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                   Traceback (most recent call last)
...

ValueError: {'__all__': ValidationError([u'Please provide a valid value for any of the following fields: Fixed price, Percentage, Amount'])}

In [6]: second_obj = TestModel.objects.create(user=user, amount=Decimal('2'), fixed_price=Decimal('2'))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                   Traceback (most recent call last)
...

ValueError: {'__all__': ValidationError([u'Please provide only one of the following fields: Fixed price, Percentage, Amount'])}

TODO's

• [ ] Support CONDITIONAL_NON_REQUIRED_TOGGLE_FIELDS
• [ ] Support CONDITIONAL_NON_REQUIRED_FIELDS
• [ ] Move to support class and function based validators that use the instance object this should enable cross field model validation.
