django-rest-form-fields
Extended form fields to validate REST-request data via django.forms.
Requirements
- Python 3.7+
Other versions may also work but not tested automatically - Django 2.2+
Other versions may also work but not tested automatically - typing
- jsonschema
Optional. Required for validating json schema in JsonField
and its child classes - pytz
Optional. Required for TimezoneField
Installation
Install via pip:
pip install django-rest-form-fields
or via setup.py:
python setup.py install
Usage
You can use standard django forms, adding new fields for them.
All *args
and **kwargs
fields in reference below will be passed to base django constructors as is.
Example:
from django import forms
from django_rest_form_fields import FileField, ArrayField
class MyForm(forms.Form):
file_field = FileField(max_size=1024, valid_extensions=['valid_extensions'])
array_field = ArrayField(min_items=1, max_items=10)
Base forms
Since version 1.2.2 this library also contains base form classes.
Together with library fields, they give ability to change field's source attribute.
To have this feature, just inherit your class from BaseForm or BaseModelForm:
from django_rest_form_fields.forms import BaseForm
from django_rest_form_fields.fields import RestIntegerField
class MyForm(BaseForm):
int_field = RestIntegerField(source='intField')
f = MyForm({'intField': 123})
f.full_clean()
print(f.cleaned_data['int_field'])
Fields and their options
RestCharField(*args, source: Optional[str] = None, **kwargs)
Wraps django.forms.forms.CharField:
