Better string field for Django.
Project description
A field intended for strings that typically has a length less than 500 characters. django-stringfield tries to not to enforce length on database level if possible but different databases have different limitations. Currently implemented as:
- PostgreSQL
character varying
- MySQL
VARCHAR (65528) [1]
- Oracle
VARCHAR2 (4000)
- SQLite & Other backends
TEXT
Installation
pip install django-stringfield
Usage
You use this just like the normal django.db.models.CharField except that the key word argument max_length works a little differently:
It is optional and defaults to 500
It only enforces max length on the default formfield not on the database.
Example:
# models.py from stringfield import StringField class MyModel(models.Model): name = StringField()
