django-richenum 5.0.0

Django Enum library for python.

django-richenum

About

A Django extension of richenum for Python. If you’re unfamiliar with richenums, please read up on them (see Related Packages) before using django-richenum.

Model Fields

IndexEnumField

Store ints in DB, but expose OrderedRichEnumValues in Python.

CanonicalNameEnumField

Store varchar in DB, but expose RichEnumValues in Python. We recommend that you use IndexEnumField for storage and query efficiency.

LaxIndexEnumField

Like IndexEnumField, but also allows casting to and from canonical names. Mainly used to help migrate existing code that uses strings as database values.

Form Fields

CanonicalEnumField

Uses the RichEnum/OrderedRichEnum canonical_name as form field values.

IndexEnumField

Uses the OrderedRichEnum index as form field values.

Django Admin

RichEnumFieldListFilter

Enables filtering by RichEnum model fields in the Django admin UI

Example Usage

IndexEnumField

>>> from richenum import OrderedRichEnum, OrderedRichEnumValue
>>> class MyOrderedRichEnum(OrderedRichEnum):
...    FOO = OrderedRichEnumValue(index=1, canonical_name="foo", display_name="Foo")
...    BAR = OrderedRichEnumValue(index=2, canonical_name="bar", display_name="Bar")
...
>>> from django.db import models
>>> from django_richenum.models import IndexEnumField
>>> class MyModel(models.Model):
...    my_enum = IndexEnumField(MyOrderedRichEnum, default=MyOrderedRichEnum.FOO)
...
>>> m = MyModel.objects.create(my_enum=MyOrderedRichEnum.BAR)
>>> m.save()
>>> m.my_enum
OrderedRichEnumValue - idx: 2  canonical_name: 'bar'  display_name: 'Bar'
>>> MyModel.objects.filter(my_enum=MyOrderedRichEnum.BAR)

CanonicalNameEnumField

>>> from richenum import RichEnum, RichEnumValue
>>> class MyRichEnum(RichEnum):
...    FOO = RichEnumValue(canonical_name="foo", display_name="Foo")
...    BAR = RichEnumValue(canonical_name="bar", display_name="Bar")
...
>>> from django.db import models
>>> from django_richenum.models import CanonicalNameEnumField
>>> class MyModel(models.Model):
...    my_enum = CanonicalNameEnumField(MyRichEnum, default=MyRichEnum.FOO)
...
>>> m = MyModel.objects.create(my_enum=MyRichEnum.BAR)
>>> m.save()
>>> m.my_enum
RichEnumValue - canonical_name: 'bar'  display_name: 'Bar'
>>> MyModel.objects.filter(my_enum=MyRichEnum.BAR)

RichEnumFieldListFilter

Notes

If you’re using Django 1.7+, you’ll need to use the @deconstructible decorator for your RichEnumValue and OrderedRichEnumValue classes so Django’s migration framework knows how to serialize your RichEnumValue and OrderedRichEnumValue.

>>> from django.utils.deconstruct import deconstructible
>>> from richenum import RichEnumValue, OrderedRichEnumValue
>>> @deconstructible
... class CustomRichEnumValue(RichEnumValue):
...     pass
...
>>> @deconstructible
... class CustomOrderedRichEnumValue(OrderedRichEnumValue):
...     pass
...
