Short Text Field for Django
A very simple Django app that adds a ShortTextField model field class, which
is treated like a TextField in the database (i.e. the data is stored in the
database with the text rather than the varchar type, and the developer does
not need to specify a max_length), but like a CharField in forms (i.e. it
uses a single-line input). This is ideal for PostgreSQL, which recommends the
'text' type in a wider variety of circumstances than other commonly-used
database backends (see the [PostgreSQL docs]
(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/datatype-character.html)).
Usage
Add 'short_text_field' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'short_text_field',
]
Add a ShortTextField to a model like this:
from short_text_field.models import ShortTextField
...
class ExampleModel(models.Model):
...
example_field = ShortTextField
A model with a ShortTextField should be registered in the admin site using
short_text_field.admin.ModelAdmin.
admin.site.register(ExampleModel, short_text_field.admin.ModelAdmin)
A subclass of this class will also work:
class ExampleModelAdmin(short_text_field.admin.ModelAdmin):
model = ExampleModel
...
admin.site.register(ExampleModel, ExampleModelAdmin)
If you have a hierarchy of ModelAdmin subclasses, you can still
incorporate short_text_field.admin.ModelAdmin easily as a mixin:
class ExampleModelAdmin2(short_text_field.admin.ModelAdmin, ExampleModelAdmin1):
model = ExampleModel
...
admin.site.register(ExampleModel, ExampleModelAdmin)
You can also use a subclass of short_text_field.admin.AdminSite for the
site, which will make short_text_field.admin.ModelAdmin the default
ModelAdmin subclass to use for registering. In the simplest case, you can
just set the default_site attribute of the AdminConfig class and then
register all of your models in the normal way:
from django.contrib.admin import apps
import short_text_field.admin.AdminSite
...
class ExampleAdminConfig(apps.AdminConfig):
...
default_site = short_text_field.admin.AdminSite
