I have a javascript application (in angular) that calls my django application. It uses lists of integers to filter the response. In Django I'm using a form to clean the data.
Javascript:
app.factory('SearchData',
function(){
return {
shop:[],
sort:'',
xhr:'',
brand:[],
};
});
app.factory('SearchQuery',
['$http', '$location', '$route', 'SearchData',
function($http, $location, $route, SearchData){
return {
getItems: function(){
return $http.get('/search/',{
params: SearchData,
responseType: 'json',
});
}
};
}
]);
Python form:
class SearchForm(forms.Form):
shop = forms.IntegerField(widget=forms.SelectMultiple(),required=False)
sort = forms.CharField(max_length=1, min_length=1, required=False)
brand = forms.IntegerField(widget=forms.SelectMultiple(),required=False)
I get a list of integers in shop and brand but I do not how to handle it on the django side. I don't want to use MultipleChoiceField as I need to supply choices in form (which creates an unnecessary query). All I want to do is have a list of integers.
The form above throws "Enter a whole number.". I could just ditch the form and use request.GET.getlist('shop') (which works). But I'd rather use a form if possible...
Update, for now I'm using a MultipleChoiceField and pass the choices before validation in the view. Like:
shops = request.GET.getlist('shop', None)
sf = SearchForm(request.GET)
sf.fields['shop'].choices = shops
It works, but it isn't pretty.
Use a custom widget/field:
from django import forms
from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError
class MultipleValueWidget(forms.TextInput):
def value_from_datadict(self, data, files, name):
return data.getlist(name)
class MultipleValueField(forms.Field):
widget = MultipleValueWidget
def clean_int(x):
try:
return int(x)
except ValueError:
raise ValidationError("Cannot convert to integer: {}".format(repr(x)))
class MultipleIntField(MultipleValueField):
def clean(self, value):
return [clean_int(x) for x in value]
class SearchForm(forms.Form):
shop = MultipleIntField()
