HOPE FlexFields

This library provides the ability to define a set of fields and related validation rules dynamically. It has been designed as part of the HOPE project to manage user-customizable fields (FlexField). The idea is to have a central business logic repository for data import validation.

It provides four classes:

FieldDefinition: This represents a collection of reusable pre-configured fields
FlexField: Instance like representation of FieldDefinition inside a Fieldset
Fieldset: Group of FlexField
DataChecker: Compound of fieldset

From the design point of view a high level comparison with Django components could be:

FieldDefinition = class forms.Field
Fieldset = forms.Form
FlexField = forms.Field()
DataChecker = [forms.Form(),...]

... and some utilities

Automatic creation of FieldSets inspecting exiting models
Automatic creation of XLS file matching an existing Datachecker
Validate XLS against an existing Datachecker
