=============== django-pgfields

This is collection of Django model field subclasses that take advantage of PostgreSQL's column types.

CharField, EmailField, SlugField and URLField make the max_length argument optional, but otherwise work like the standard Django fields. When max_length isn't specified, the TEXT column type is used. See the PostgreSQL documentation_ for more on TEXT vs. VARCHAR.

UUIDField uses the UUID column type and is represented in Python as a uuid.UUID instance.

Usage

This package mimics GeoDjango by providing pgfields.db.models as a drop-in replacement for django.db.models. In the same style, pgfields.gis.db.models replaces django.contrib.gis.db.models.

::

from pgfields.db import models

class Person(models.Model):
    id = models.UUIDField("ID", primary_key=True)
    name = models.CharField("name")
