PostgreSQL specific form fields and widgetsΒΆ
All of these fields and widgets are available from the
django.contrib.postgres.forms
module.
FieldsΒΆ
SimpleArrayField
ΒΆ
-
class
SimpleArrayField
(base_field, delimiter=',', max_length=None, min_length=None)ΒΆ A field which maps to an array. It is represented by an HTML
<input>
.-
base_field
ΒΆ This is a required argument.
It specifies the underlying form field for the array. This is not used to render any HTML, but it is used to process the submitted data and validate it. For example:
>>> from django import forms >>> from django.contrib.postgres.forms import SimpleArrayField >>> class NumberListForm(forms.Form): ... numbers = SimpleArrayField(forms.IntegerField()) >>> form = NumberListForm({'numbers': '1,2,3'}) >>> form.is_valid() True >>> form.cleaned_data {'numbers': [1, 2, 3]} >>> form = NumberListForm({'numbers': '1,2,a'}) >>> form.is_valid() False
-
delimiter
ΒΆ This is an optional argument which defaults to a comma:
,
. This value is used to split the submitted data. It allows you to chainSimpleArrayField
for multidimensional data:>>> from django import forms >>> from django.contrib.postgres.forms import SimpleArrayField >>> class GridForm(forms.Form): ... places = SimpleArrayField(SimpleArrayField(IntegerField()), delimiter='|') >>> form = GridForm({'places': '1,2|2,1|4,3'}) >>> form.is_valid() True >>> form.cleaned_data {'places': [[1, 2], [2, 1], [4, 3]]}
μ°Έκ³
The field does not support escaping of the delimiter, so be careful in cases where the delimiter is a valid character in the underlying field. The delimiter does not need to be only one character.
-
max_length
ΒΆ This is an optional argument which validates that the array does not exceed the stated length.
-
min_length
ΒΆ This is an optional argument which validates that the array reaches at least the stated length.
User friendly forms
SimpleArrayField
is not particularly user friendly in most cases, however it is a useful way to format data from a client-side widget for submission to the server.-
SplitArrayField
ΒΆ
-
class
SplitArrayField
(base_field, size, remove_trailing_nulls=False)ΒΆ This field handles arrays by reproducing the underlying field a fixed number of times.
-
base_field
ΒΆ This is a required argument. It specifies the form field to be repeated.
-
size
ΒΆ This is the fixed number of times the underlying field will be used.
-
remove_trailing_nulls
ΒΆ By default, this is set to
False
. WhenFalse
, each value from the repeated fields is stored. When set toTrue
, any trailing values which are blank will be stripped from the result. If the underlying field hasrequired=True
, butremove_trailing_nulls
isTrue
, then null values are only allowed at the end, and will be stripped.Some examples:
SplitArrayField(IntegerField(required=True), size=3, remove_trailing_nulls=False) ['1', '2', '3'] # -> [1, 2, 3] ['1', '2', ''] # -> ValidationError - third entry required. ['1', '', '3'] # -> ValidationError - second entry required. ['', '2', ''] # -> ValidationError - first and third entries required. SplitArrayField(IntegerField(required=False), size=3, remove_trailing_nulls=False) ['1', '2', '3'] # -> [1, 2, 3] ['1', '2', ''] # -> [1, 2, None] ['1', '', '3'] # -> [1, None, 3] ['', '2', ''] # -> [None, 2, None] SplitArrayField(IntegerField(required=True), size=3, remove_trailing_nulls=True) ['1', '2', '3'] # -> [1, 2, 3] ['1', '2', ''] # -> [1, 2] ['1', '', '3'] # -> ValidationError - second entry required. ['', '2', ''] # -> ValidationError - first entry required. SplitArrayField(IntegerField(required=False), size=3, remove_trailing_nulls=True) ['1', '2', '3'] # -> [1, 2, 3] ['1', '2', ''] # -> [1, 2] ['1', '', '3'] # -> [1, None, 3] ['', '2', ''] # -> [None, 2]
-
HStoreField
ΒΆ
-
class
HStoreField
ΒΆ A field which accepts JSON encoded data for an
HStoreField
. It casts all values (except nulls) to strings. It is represented by an HTML<textarea>
.User friendly forms
HStoreField
is not particularly user friendly in most cases, however it is a useful way to format data from a client-side widget for submission to the server.μ°Έκ³
On occasions it may be useful to require or restrict the keys which are valid for a given field. This can be done using the
KeysValidator
.
Range FieldsΒΆ
This group of fields all share similar functionality for accepting range data.
They are based on MultiValueField
. They treat one
omitted value as an unbounded range. They also validate that the lower bound is
not greater than the upper bound. All of these fields use
RangeWidget
.
IntegerRangeField
ΒΆ
-
class
IntegerRangeField
ΒΆ Based on
IntegerField
and translates its input intoNumericRange
. Default forIntegerRangeField
andBigIntegerRangeField
.
DecimalRangeField
ΒΆ
-
class
DecimalRangeField
ΒΆ Based on
DecimalField
and translates its input intoNumericRange
. Default forDecimalRangeField
.
DateTimeRangeField
ΒΆ
-
class
DateTimeRangeField
ΒΆ Based on
DateTimeField
and translates its input intoDateTimeTZRange
. Default forDateTimeRangeField
.
DateRangeField
ΒΆ
-
class
DateRangeField
ΒΆ Based on
DateField
and translates its input intoDateRange
. Default forDateRangeField
.
WidgetsΒΆ
RangeWidget
ΒΆ
-
class
RangeWidget
(base_widget, attrs=None)ΒΆ Widget used by all of the range fields. Based on
MultiWidget
.RangeWidget
has one required argument:-
base_widget
ΒΆ A
RangeWidget
comprises a 2-tuple ofbase_widget
.
-
decompress
(value)ΒΆ Takes a single βcompressedβ value of a field, for example a
DateRangeField
, and returns a tuple representing a lower and upper bound.
