Additional Functions for Django

What this?

This repository contains additional code for Django.

Why I create this?

Because I love Django, and usually using it. However, I found some essential code is lacked for modern web development. For example, you might want to send Ajax Payload like this:

{
  "name": "John Doe",
  "age": 49,
  "email": "[e-mail]",
  "email_aliases": [
    "[e-mail]",
    "[e-mail]",
    "[e-mail]"
  ]
}

In this case, you can validate name, age, and email field by using Form layer on Django. However, email_aliases cannot be validated because it’s a list and it should validate each value whether it is email-formatted or not.

To support this case (and some other cases that Django can’t handle), I wrote some code to support List validation.

How To Use It

ListField

ListField is used to handle a list of values like above example. To use ListField, you can write a form like this:

forms.py

from django import forms
from djextra import forms as exforms


class ExampleForm(forms.Form):
  name = forms.CharField()
  age = forms.IntegerField()
  email = forms.EmailField()
  email_aliases = exforms.ListField(field=forms.EmailField())

Then, Inputting the data as usual, the validation will start. If you don’t specify field keyword argument, django.forms.CharField object is specified.
