Mixing
django collection of model fields
I am trying to setup different models in django.
Some of my models includes fields for a text.
A text is defined by:
- CharField (tex)
- CharField (font-size)
- CharField (font-weight)
- CharField (color)
So some of my models need one to n of these texts.
Is it possible to create a collection of Fields, for example "Test-Collection" that includes all 4 fields. So that i didn't have to write all 4 field manually for each text i need in a model?
Some thing like that:
class Box(CMSPlugin):
text1 = models.CharField(max_length=100)
text1_font_weight = models.CharField(max_length=100)
text1_font_size = models.CharField(max_length=100)
text1_color = models.CharField(max_length=100)
text2 = models.CharField(max_length=100)
text2_font_weight = models.CharField(max_length=100)
text2_font_size = models.CharField(max_length=100)
text2_color = models.CharField(max_length=100)
text3 = models.CharField(max_length=100)
text3_font_weight = models.CharField(max_length=100)
text3_font_size = models.CharField(max_length=100)
text3_color = models.CharField(max_length=100)
Into that:
class Box(CMSPlugin):
text1 = TextColelction...
text2 = TextColelction...
text3 = TextColelction...

I am not sure what you want to achieve. It looks like you could simplify this model to this
from django.db import models
class TextCollection(models.Model):
text = models.CharField(max_length=100)
text_font_weight = models.CharField(max_length=100)
text_font_size = models.CharField(max_length=100)
text_color = models.CharField(max_length=100)
box = models.ForeignKey("Box", on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="textcollections")
class Box(CMSPlugin):
pass
This way you can use as much TextCollections as you want in a Box.
If you also want a Text in multiple Boxes you could use ManyToManyField instead of ForeignKey.
