Hi All,
I am using Django 1.1, say I have a model like:
class MyModel(Model):
someField = CharField(max_length=32)
if I have another class that receives an instance of the model, can I
read the max_length there?
class Hypothetical_form (forms.Form):
def __init__(self, model_instance):
self.someField = forms.CharField(label = u'Some Label', widget
= forms.TextInput(attrs={'size':
this.magicalGetSize(model_instance,'someField')}))
def magicalGetSize(instance, fieldname):
return some_how_find_the_max_length(instance, fieldname)
this will give me the ability to keep my db and forms sync.
Thank you for any help
Rex
disclaimer: I know about ModelForm and all that, but I want to see if
there is a way to inspect a Model's meta data and field options. I
found functions like get_field_by_name() but they are not in the
django documentation.
