django-extra-field-validation 1.0.1

Extra django field validation.

django-extra-field-validation

Introduction

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 table check constraints if needed but currently validation will only be handled at the model level.

Installation

django-extra-field-validation is distributed on PyPI as a universal wheel and is available on Linux/macOS and Windows and supports Python 2.7/3.5+ and PyPy.

pip install django-extra-field-validation

Usage

This provides model level validation which includes:

• Required field validation
• Optional field validation
• Conditional field validation

Require a single 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'])}

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".'])}

Optionally required 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)

    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'])}

Conditional required 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"'])}

Conditional required optional 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_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'])}

Model Attributes

This is done using model attributes below.

#  Using a list/iterable: [['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']] which validates that a field from each item is provided.
REQUIRED_TOGGLE_FIELDS = []

# Using a list/iterable validates that all fields are provided.
REQUIRED_FIELDS = []

# Optional toggle fields list: [['a', 'b']] which runs the validation only when any of the fields are present.
OPTIONAL_TOGGLE_FIELDS = []

# Conditional field validation using a list of tuples the condition which could be boolean or a callable and the list/iterable of fields that are required if the condition evaluates to `True`.
# [(condition, [fields]), (condition, fields)]

# Using a callable CONDITIONAL_REQUIRED_FIELDS = [(lambda instance: instance.is_admin, ['a', 'd'])]
# Using a boolean CONDITIONAL_REQUIRED_TOGGLE_FIELDS = [(True, ['b', 'c']), (True, ['d', f])]
# asserts that either 'b' or 'c' is provided and either 'd' or 'f'.
# (Note: This can also be handled using REQUIRED_FIELDS/REQUIRED_TOGGLE_FIELDS)

# Validates that all fields are present if the condition is True
CONDITIONAL_REQUIRED_FIELDS = []

# Validates at least one, not both fields is provided if the condition is True.
CONDITIONAL_REQUIRED_TOGGLE_FIELDS = []

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.
