Question

I’d like to use django list_filter to filter by some enum value. Due to that I’ve got of course panel with values like 0, 1, 2,..., 1337 and so on.
I wonder If I will be able to change this values into it’s text representation. For example 0 into horse, 1 into cow, 2 into Moses and so on.
Is it possible to achieve that “easily”?

Answer 1

Use choices

SOME_CHOICES = (
    (0, 'horse'),
    (1, 'cow'),
    (2, 'moses'),
    ...
)

# in model
some_field = models.PositiveIntegerField(choices=SOME_CHOICES)
