I'm trying to make a RelaxedPhoneNumber field that normalizes
user input to an internal representation of purely digits before
getting saved, and then presents in a particular format. I'm
having trouble finding where to intercept and change the value.
I want to do it on the field level, as I have a number of phone
numbers in various models and don't want to have to monkey with
the save() method for each of them.
Thus, I don't care if the user types
800.555.1212
(800)555-1212
800-555-1212
8005551212
as long as I can strip out the non-digits and be left with 10 digits.
So somewhere, I need to stick in something like
non_digit_re = re.compile(r'\D')
:
:
self.data = non_digit_re.sub('', self.data)
like I have in my validator
def isValidRelaxedPhone(field_data, all_data):
# strip out non-digit characters
digits_only_data = non_digit_re.sub('', field_data)
if len(digits_only_data) <> 10:
raise ValidationError, gettext(
'Phone numbers must be 10 digits. "%s" is invalid.') %
digits_only_data
I see something about a prepare() method on FormField objects
that holds promise, but I'm not sure what type of parameter
new_data is, and what I should be doing with it.
What am I missing here?
Thanks,
