Helper functions for Django fields.
- cardinal_pythonlib.django.fields.helpers.choice_explanation(value: str, choices: Iterable[Tuple[str, str]]) str [source]
Returns the explanation associated with a Django choice tuple-list.
- cardinal_pythonlib.django.fields.helpers.valid_choice(strvalue: str, choices: Iterable[Tuple[str, str]]) bool [source]
Checks that value is one of the valid option in choices, where choices is a list/tuple of 2-tuples (option, description).
Note that parameters sent by URLconf are always strings (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/http/urls/) but Python is happy with a string-to-integer-PK lookup, e.g.
Study.objects.get(pk=1) Study.objects.get(pk="1") # also works
Choices can be non-string, though, so we compare against a string version of the choice.
