Dear Django people, I'm working on something I called "IndirectGenericForeignKey",¹ and following suggestionsi I received on django-developers, I've made a bit of progress on my implementation, using a custom (pseudo-)field.²
My code works, but I can't exactly say I understand all of it, which isn't really a good basis to work from. In particular, studying the custom model fields howto³ left my brain smoking. All these different adapter functions (e.g. get_prep_lookup, etc.) certainly have very well-defined purposes, but I can't say that these are easily discerned from reading the documentation. Are you aware of some sort of flow-chart that depicts the translations that are happening, for all the different functions and use-cases (e.g. INSERT, UPDATE, SELECT)? It would already help a lot to know what gets called when, and maybe have a few immutables established in between. If such a picture/document does not yet exist, maybe some of you would be interested in working with me on creating it? I'd do the heavy lifting, but if there'd be people around offering their experience for querying and sanity checks, that'd be great. If interested, maybe the best would be for you to reply off-list, and then we could go about it? Or would it be acceptable to develop this on-list? Take care, -m ¹) https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/jx-14OddSqA ²) https://github.com/madduck/wafer/tree/147-kvpairs ³) https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/custom-model-fields/ -- @martinkrafft | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "it isn't pollution that's harming the environment. it's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." - dan quayle spamtraps: madduck.bo...@madduck.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
