This project aims to provide a sensible means of storing and managing arbitrary
|
||
|
|
HTML element attributes for later emitting them into templates.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are a wide variety of types of attributes and using the "normal" Django
|
||
|
|
method of adding ModelFields for each on a business model is cumbersome at best
|
||
|
|
and moreover may require related tables to allow cases where any number of the
|
||
|
|
same type of attribute should be supported (i.e., data-attributes). This can
|
||
|
|
contribute to performance problems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To avoid these pitfalls, this package allows all of these attributes to be
|
||
|
|
stored together in a single text field in the database as a JSON blob, but
|
||
|
|
provides a nice widget to provide an intuitive, key/value pair interface and
|
||
|
|
provide sensible validation of the keys used.
