Monkey Patching

After migrating the models and loading the initial data through fixtures, you can monkey patch (if you’re into it) django-ph-geography models using the provided methods to suit your needs:

Adding new fields

You can use the custom method add_field provided by abstract model class ph_geography.models.PhilippineGeography to add fields to the models provided. Using the said method to the abstract model will apply the action to all subclasses.

Example:

from django.db import models

from ph_geography.models import PhilippineGeography
from ph_geography.models import Region


# Add field to Region, Province, Municipality, Barangay, and any subclass models of PhilippineGeography
PhilippineGeography.add_field('all_models', models.BooleanField(null=True))

# Add field 'single_model' to Region
Region.add_field('single_model', models.BooleanField(null=True))

Removing existing fields

You can use the custom method remove_field provided by abstract model class ph_geography.models.PhilippineGeography to remove fields to the models provided. Using the same method to the abstract model will apply the action to all subclasses.

Example:

from ph_geography.models import PhilippineGeography
from ph_geography.models import Municipality
from ph_geography.models import Region


# Remove field to Region, Province, Municipality, Barangay, and any subclass models of PhilippineGeography
PhilippineGeography.remove_field('population')

# Remove field 'island_group' from Region
Region.remove_field('island_group')

# Multiple fields to remove are supported
Municipality.remove_field('is_city', 'is_capital')
