Validators

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In our project, we need to validate settings values when modified through the Django admin UI. E.g. for an integer field, we would like to validate the value to be positive.

Right now the package doesn’t provide positive integer field type or validators.

Describe the solution you’d like

# A solution with a validator parameter that accepts a function
months = Setting(
        name="MONTHS",
        value_type=Setting.TYPE_INT,
        value=48,
        description="Number of months.",
        validator=lambda x: x>0,
    )
months.save()

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

# A solution based on native datatypes 
# this can't be supported by all dbs: 
# i.e. PostgreSQL does not have an unsigned integer
months = Setting(
        name="MONTHS",
        value_type=Setting.TYPE_POSITIVE_INT,
        value=48,
        description="Number of months.",
    )
months.save()

Hi @fabiocaccamo Thank you so much! Also for latest improvements and the addition to the README.

No, I don’t think the validator path would be useful in the changelist.

Thank you again. We will update to 0.6 soon.
