django-enumfields2 3.0.2
Real Python Enums for Django.
Requires Python: >=3.7

This package lets you use real Python (PEP435_-style) enums with Django.

``django-enumfields2`` is a friendly drop-in fork of ``hzdg/django-enumfields`` that's still maintained.

Installation

1. ``pip install django-enumfields2``


Included Tools
--------------


EnumField, EnumIntegerField
```````````````````````````

.. code-block:: python

    from enumfields import EnumField
    from enum import Enum

    class Color(Enum):
        RED = 'r'
        GREEN = 'g'
        BLUE = 'b'

    class MyModel(models.Model):

        color = EnumField(Color, max_length=1)

Elsewhere:

.. code-block:: python

    m = MyModel.objects.filter(color=Color.RED)

``EnumIntegerField`` works identically, but the underlying storage mechanism is
an ``IntegerField`` instead of a ``CharField``.


Usage in Forms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Call the ``formfield`` method to use an ``EnumField`` directly in a ``Form``.

.. code-block:: python

    class MyForm(forms.Form):

        color = EnumField(Color, max_length=1).formfield()

Enum
````

Normally, you just use normal PEP435_-style enums, however, django-enumfields
also includes its own version of Enum with a few extra bells and whistles.
Namely, the smart definition of labels which are used, for example, in admin
dropdowns. By default, it will create labels by title-casing your constant
names. You can provide custom labels with a nested "Labels" class.

.. code-block:: python

    from enumfields import EnumField, Enum  # Our own Enum class

    class Color(Enum):
        RED = 'r'
        GREEN = 'g'
        BLUE = 'b'

        class Labels:
            RED = 'A custom label'

    class MyModel(models.Model):
        color = EnumField(Color, max_length=1)

    assert Color.GREEN.label == 'Green'
    assert Color.RED.label == 'A custom label'


.. _PEP435: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0435/


EnumFieldListFilter
```````````````````

``enumfields.admin.EnumFieldListFilter`` is provided to allow using enums in
``list_filter``.


.. code-block:: python

    from enumfields.admin import EnumFieldListFilter

    class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
        list_filter = [('color', EnumFieldListFilter)]

Django Rest Framework integration
`````````````````````````````````

``EnumSupportSerializerMixin`` mixin allows you to use enums in DRF serializers.


.. code-block:: python

    # models.py
    from enumfields import EnumField
    from enum import Enum
    
    class Color(Enum):
        RED = 'r'
        GREEN = 'g'
        BLUE = 'b'
    
    class MyModel(models.Model):
        color = EnumField(Color, max_length=1)


    # serializers.py
    from enumfields.drf.serializers import EnumSupportSerializerMixin
    from rest_framework import serializers
    from .models import MyModel

    class MyModelSerializer(EnumSupportSerializerMixin, serializers.ModelSerializer):
        class Meta:
            model = MyModel
            fields = '__all__'
