Django Pickled Model

Django pickled model provides you a model with dynamic data types. a field can store any value in any type.

You can store Integer, Boolean, String and any other data type just using a single field. so there is no need to define extra fields and make your model dirty.

Quick start

1. Install django pickled model:

   pip install django-pickled-model

2. Add "pickles" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... 'pickles', ]

3. Include the pickles URLconf in your project urls.py like this:

   path('pickles/', include('pickles.api.urls')),

4. Run python manage.py migrate to create the polls models.

5. Start the development server and visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ to create dynamic-type data (you'll need the Admin app enabled).

6. You can get a list of your pickles by calling the API URL.

How it works

Admin panel is where you can create your objects. currently supported data types are:

• STRING
• INTEGER
• FLOAT
• LIST
• DICTIONARY
• BOOLEAN

Now let's describe each field in admin creation form.

name

the key name for your value. considering the schema {name: value}, the name you enter will be replaced.

value

value is the field that you can enter any data based on the value data type that you choose.

• for STR the value will be like: "my string value"
• for INTEGER the value will be like: 1
• for FLOAT the value will be like: 1.5
• for LIST the value will be like: [1,2,3]
• for DICTIONARY the value will be like: {"key": "value"}
• for BOOLEAN the value will be like: True

value data type

this is the field that you must choose your value data type.
