PyPI’s New Archival Feature Closes a Major Security Gap
PyPI now allows maintainers to archive projects, improving security and helping users make informed decisions about their dependencies.
This is a simple widget rendering so-called rating stars as input for an
integer field. It is based solely on CSS 3, as laid out by Martin Ivanov <http://experiments.wemakesites.net/css3-rating-stars-with-selection.html>
_.
This is different from other star rating applications in that it provides only a widget returning its selction to any IntegerField. It is not a complete rating application, just a presentational widget for integer input. It is also different in that it depends only on CSS3, without any JavaScript.
In contrast to others (and to the original work credited above), this widget also works on browsers that do not support CSS (like text-mode browsers). In that case, it renders as basic radio buttons with numbers.
Just add the Stars widget to any IntegerField in a Django form.
.. code:: python
from django import forms from django_starfield import Stars
class StarsExampleForm(forms.Form): rating = forms.IntegerField(widget=Stars)
The following aspects are configurable, both in the Django settings and when creating the widget (by passing an argument to Stars):
+------------------------+-----------------------+---------+---------------------+-----------+ | Aspect | Format | Default | Setting name | Argument | +========================+=======================+=========+=====================+===========+ | Number of stars | integer | 5 | STARFIELD_STARS | stars | +------------------------+-----------------------+---------+---------------------+-----------+ | Character used as star | hexadecimal codepoint | 2605 | STARFIELD_CODEPOINT | codepoint | +------------------------+-----------------------+---------+---------------------+-----------+ | Colour of stars | HTML colour | #f5b301 | STARFIELD_COLOUR | colour | +------------------------+-----------------------+---------+---------------------+-----------+
Please note that some browsers render some Unicode characters, especially emojis, as images, so changing the font colour will not work.
