Lets consider this model:
class MyModel(models.Model):
DEFAULT = 1
NOT_DEFAULT = 2
SOMETHING = 3
SOMETHING_ELSE = 4
CHOICES = (
(DEFAULT, 'foo')
(NOT_DEFAULT, 'bar')
(SOMETHING, 'tar')
(SOMETHING_ELSE, 'oof')
)
field1 = models.CharField(
max_length=128,
)
field2 = models.SmallIntegerField(
choices=CHOICES,
default=DEFAULT
)
how to i fill it with this data?
name, status
'one', 'foo'
'two', 'oof'
'tree', 'foo'
'four', 'foo'
'five', 'tar'
'six', 'bar'
that does not work since it's expecting an integer
MyModel.objects.create('one','foo')
how do i do it properly without stupid workarounds?
is there a build in mapping like
'foo' -> 1
'oof' -> 4
etc.?
You have the tuple of tuples CHOICES and you need to find first element by value of the second. So you can generate dict from tuple and get value, for example:
value = 'foo'
{v: k for k, v in MyModel.CHOICES}.get(value)
