django-localized-fields
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
`django-localized-fields` is an implementation of a field class for Django models that allows the field's value to be set in multiple languages. It does this by utilizing the `hstore` type (PostgreSQL specific), which is available as `models.HStoreField` in Django 1.10.
|
||||
|
||||
How does it work?
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
By declaring fields on your model as `LocalizedField`:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
from django.db import models
|
||||
from localized_fields import LocalizedField
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
class MyModel(models.Model):
|
||||
title = LocalizedField()
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
During migration, the field type will be changed to `hstore`. From now on you can store multi-language content in this field:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
new = MyModel()
|
||||
new.title.en = 'english title'
|
||||
new.title.nl = 'dutch title'
|
||||
new.title.ro = 'romanian title'
|
||||
new.save()
|
||||
|
||||
`django-localized-fields` integrates with Django's i18n system, in order for certain languages to be available you have to correctly configure the `LANGUAGES` and `LANGUAGE_CODE` settings:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en' # default language
|
||||
LANGUAGEs = (
|
||||
('en', 'English'),
|
||||
('nl', 'Dutch'),
|
||||
('ro', 'Romanian')
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
By changing the active language you can control which language is presented:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
from django.utils import translation
|
||||
|
||||
translation.activate('nl')
|
||||
print(new.title) # prints 'dutch title'
|
||||
|
||||
translation.activate('en')
|
||||
print(new.title) # prints 'english title'
|
||||
|
||||
Or get it in a specific language:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
print(new.title.get('en')) # prints 'english title'
|
||||
print(new.title.get('ro')) # prints 'romanian title'
|
||||
print(new.title.get()) # whatever language is the currently active one
|
||||
|
||||
You can also explicitly set a value in a certain language:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
new.title.set('en', 'other english title')
|
||||
new.title.set('nl', 'other dutch title')
|
||||
|
||||
new.title.ro = 'other romanian title'
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Installation
|
||||
------------
|
||||
1. Install the package from PyPi:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
$ pip install django-localized-fields
|
||||
|
||||
2. Add `localized_fields` to your `INSTALLED_APPS`:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
INSTALLED_APPS = [
|
||||
....
|
||||
|
||||
'localized_fields'
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
You're good to go! Happy hacking!
