我正在开展一个小项目,用户可以跟踪他们在合同上花费的时间。每份合同都有一个明确的所需工作时间,用户可以每月工作。
现在出现了几个问题:如何将这个工作时间存储在我的Django模型中?我最终使用了Django 1.8中的DurationField,但是它带有它自己的问题,如下所述。我是否可以切换到IntegerField并将工作时间存储为分钟并将其转换为模板内的正确格式?然后我需要在用户发送表单后再重新转换它,以便再次以正确的形式存储它。我最终会如何以及在哪里(models.py,forms.py ...?)进行这两次转换?
使用DurationField时,我遇到了两个大问题:
所以我的基本两个问题是:我应该坚持使用DurationField并以某种方式解决我面临的问题,或者我应该切换到其他字段如IntegerField并自己进行转换,我不知道从哪里开始。
答案 0 :(得分:0)
在将这个问题暂时搁置一段时间之后,我在关注此博客文章后想出了一个解决方案:http://charlesleifer.com/blog/writing-custom-field-django/
到目前为止,代码的工作方式正如我所希望的那样。它将工作时间作为整数存储在数据库中,并将其显示为HH:MM给用户。 我还不确定我是否做得正确,或者在某些特殊情况下是否遗漏或错误?我无法绕过to_python和from_db_value背后的差异。我还从原始代码中删除了value_to_string(请参阅博客文章),因为它似乎没有做任何事情。
