Django admin check

Question

I would like to test user input with regex in Django Admin CharField ... How is this possible?

Thanks in advance, Etam.

Answer 1

Define a custom form for the model administrator and override the specific field to use RegexField.

class MyModel(models.Model):
    myfield = models.CharField(max_length=10)


class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    myfield = forms.RegexField(regex=r'\w+')


class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    form = MyModelForm

admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)

Answer 2

You can also use the clean method in ur form and check the fields with regex. This will form validiation.You can raise the error for what you want
