Generate plurals for use with Django
inflect_dj.py - Generate plurals for use with Django.
This document describes version 0.2.0 of inflect_dj.py
pip install inflect_dj
or
easy_install inflect_dj
Decorator for the Django models.Model
classes.
Decorating a child class of model.Model
with @verbose_name_plural
will ensure that
the plural form of the model name will be rendered correctly.
It uses the module inflect.py
to determine the correct pluralisation.
Using @verbose_name_plural
when specifying a verbose_name
for the model::
from django.db import models
from inflect_dj import verbose_name_plural
@verbose_name_plural
class mycategory(models.Model):
[definition of the model]
class Meta:
verbose_name = 'category'
[rest of the Meta class definition]
The plural will be displayed correctly as categories
.
Using @verbose_name_plural
without specifying verbose_name
::
from django.db import models
from inflect_dj import verbose_name_plural
@verbose_name_plural
class category(models.Model):
[definition of the model]
class Meta:
[class Meta definition]
The plural will be displayed correctly as categories
, as this
is the plural of the class name.
If you are using a Python version earlier than 2.6 you cannot use
class decorators and must explicitly redefine the class with a call to
verbose_name_plural()
::
from django.db import models from inflect_dj import verbose_name_plural
class mycategory(models.Model): [definition of the model] class Meta: verbose_name = 'category' [rest of the Meta class definition] mycategory = verbose_name_plural(mycategory)
