Hi all,
I am getting confused regarding the use of constants and would be keen to
know how the rest of you handle constants in your models. Ofcourse I could
handle it easily similar to how it has been handled here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.Field.choices
But I wanted to put the constants in a separate class on their own. This is
what I hav so far:
models.py
class TaskStatus(models.Model):
CANCELLED = 0
REQUIRES_ATTENTION = 1
WORK_IN_PROGRESS = 2
COMPLETE = 3
STATUS_TYPES = (
(CANCELLED, 'Cancelled'),
(REQUIRES_ATTENTION, 'Requires attention'),
(WORK_IN_PROGRESS, 'Work in progress'),
(COMPLETE, 'Complete'),
)
status = models.IntegerField(choices=STATUS_TYPES,
default=REQUIRES_ATTENTION)
class Task(models.Model):
status = models.ManyToManyField(TaskStatus,
default=TaskStatus.REQUIRES_ATTENTION)
In my case, a Task can have one or more TaskStatus. I do not wish to store
the TaskStatus in the database since they are simply constants.
Does anyone have a better way of how I can approach this?
