Sanity for the django choices functionality.

Project description

============================
Django-Choices
============================
Order and sanity for django model choices.
------------------------------------------------------
*Documentation is a work in progress.*

Django choices provides a declarative way of using the choices_ option on django_
fields.

-----------
Installation
-----------
You can install via PyPi_ or direct from the github_ repo.

To install with pip::

$ pip install django-choices

To install with easy_install::

$ easy_install django-choices

-----------
Basic Usage
-----------
To start you create a choices class somewhere. I use const.py but you can just do
it right on the model if you prefer. Then you point the choices property to the
``choices`` attribute of the new class. Django will be able to use the choices and
you will be able to access the values by name. For example::

# In choices.py
from djchoices import DjangoChoices, ChoiceItem

class PersonType(DjangoChoices):
Customer = ChoiceItem("C")
Employee = ChoiceItem("E")
Groundhog = ChoiceItem("G")

# In models.py
class Person(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=32)
type = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=choices.PersonType.choices)

# In other code
Person.create(name="Phil", type=PersonType.Groundhog)
