django-params-field

⚠️ This project under developing.

Django extension for storing a lot of parameters in one model field.

📍 Purpose

For example you have some business logic for storing information about cars and also all car configuration (like engine volume, compression ratio, fuel tank capacity, wheelbase and another N values). You don't need to work with all this data but need to store it.

django-params-field allows to put all this data in ParamsField and work with it like a charm ✨

🚀 Quick start

1. Install django-params-field.

⚠️ Will not work until 0.1.0 version will be realized.

pip install django-params-field

2. Add ParamField to your model.

from django.db.models import Model, CharField, DateTimeField
from django_params_field import ParamsField

class Car(Model):
    # main fields
    make = CharField()
    model = CharField()
    year = DateTimeField()
    # params field
    configuration = ParamsField()

3. Work with it!

car = Car.objects.get(pk=1)

# set
car.configuration = {"engine_volume": 1.6}
# get
assert car.configuration == {"engine_volume": 1.6}
# update
car.configuration["engine_volume"] = 1.8
car.configuration["doors"] = 3
# delete
del car.configuration["doors"]
