Django Postgres Extensions!

Django Postgres Extensions adds a lot of functionality to Django.contrib.postgres, specifically in relation to ArrayField, HStoreField and JSONField, including much better form fields for dealing with these field types. The app also includes an Array Many To Many Field, so you can store the relationship in an array column instead of requiring an extra database table.

Check out http://django-postgres-extensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ to get started.

Latest release (0.9.3) tested with Django 2.0.2

Feature Overview

Custom Postgres backend

The customized Postgres backend adds the following features:

HStore Extension is automatically activated when a test database is created so you don't need to create a separate migration which is useful especially when building re-usable apps
Uses a different update compiler which adds some functionality outlined in the ArrayField section below
If db_index is set to True for an ArrayField, a GIN index will be created which is more useful than the default database index for arrays.
Adds some extra operators to enable ANY and ALL lookups

ArrayField

The included ArrayField has been subclassed from django.contrib.postgres.fields.ArrayField to add extra features and is a drop-in replacement. To use this ArrayField. The customized Postgres ArrayField adds the following features:

Get array values by index:
Update array values by index:
Added database functions for interacting with Arrays. These functions handle the provided arguments by automatically converting them to the required expressions.
Add an array of values to an existing field. In this case the output_field is required to tell Django what db type to use for the array:
Additional lookups have been added to the ArrayField to enable queries using the ANY and ALL database functions.
Use either a split array field or a multiple choice field in a model form

HStoreField

The included HStoreField has been subclassed from django.contrib.postgres.fields.HStoreField to add extra features and is a drop-in replacement. To use this HStoreField:

The customized Postgres HStoreField adds the following features:

Get hstore values by key
Update hstore by specific keys, leaving any others untouched
Added database functions for interacting with HStores, these functions handle the arguments by converting them to the correct expressions automatically.
Nested form field for a better representation of hstore in a form, either by providing a list of keys or list of form fields.

JSONField

The included JSONField has been subclassed from django.contrib.postgres.fields.JSONField to add extra features and is a drop-in replacement. To use this JSONField:

The customized Postgres JSONField adds the following features:

Get json values by key or key path
Update JSON Field by specific keys, leaving any others untouched
Delete JSONField by key or key path
Extra database functions for interacting with JSONFields. These functions handle the arguments by converting them to the correct expressions automatically.
The same NestedFormField and NestedFormWidget referred to above for HStore can also be used with a JSON Field by providing a list of fields.

ModelAdmin

For an example of how these fields can be configured in a modelform; take the following models.py:

from django.db import models
from django_postgres_extensions.models.fields import HStoreField, JSONField, ArrayField
from django_postgres_extensions.models.fields.related import ArrayManyToManyField
from django import forms
from django.contrib.postgres.forms import SplitArrayField
from django_postgres_extensions.forms.fields import NestedFormField

details_fields = (
    ('Brand', NestedFormField(keys=('Name', 'Country'))),
     ('Type', forms.CharField(max_length=25, required=False)),
     ('Colours', SplitArrayField(base_field=forms.CharField(max_length=10, required=False), size=10)),
)

class Buyer(models.Model):
    time = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=20)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

class Product(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=15)
    keywords = ArrayField(models.CharField(max_length=20), default=[], form_size=10, blank=True)
    sports = ArrayField(models.CharField(max_length=20),default=[], blank=True, choices=(
    ('football', 'Football'), ('tennis', 'Tennis'), ('golf', 'Golf'), ('basketball', 'Basketball'), ('hurling', 'Hurling'), ('baseball', 'Baseball')))
    shipping = HStoreField(keys=('Address', 'City', 'Region', 'Country'), blank=True, default={})
    details = JSONField(fields=details_fields, blank=True, default={})
    buyers =  ArrayManyToManyField(Buyer)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

    @property
    def country(self):
        return self.shipping.get('Country', '')

And with admin.py:

from django.contrib import admin
from django_postgres_extensions.admin.options import PostgresAdmin
from models import Product, Buyer

class ProductAdmin(PostgresAdmin):
    filter_horizontal = ('buyers',)
    fields = ('name', 'keywords', 'sports', 'shipping', 'details', 'buyers')
    list_display = ('name', 'keywords', 'shipping', 'details', 'country')

admin.site.register(Buyer)
admin.site.register(Product, ProductAdmin)

The form field would look like this:

The list display would look like this:

Additional Queryset Methods

The app adds the format method to all querysets. This will defer a field and add an annotation with a different format. For example to return a hstorefield as json:

qs = Model.objects.all().format('description', HstoreToJSONBLoose)

Array Many To Many Field

The Array Many To Many Field is designed be a drop-in replacement of the normal Django Many To Many Field and thus replicates many of its features.

The Array Many To Many field supports the following features which replicate the API of the regular Many To Many Field:

Descriptor queryset with add, remove, clear and set for both forward and reverse relationships
Prefetch related for both forward and reverse relationships
Lookups across relationships with filter for both forward and reverse relationships
Lookups across relationships with exclude for forward relationships only
