(Django) Trim whitespaces from charField

In ruby on rails is really easy to strip spaces when saving a model. In django what’s the best practice?

Answer 1

It is very easy to override models.Model save method, to perform any pre svae actions. The link that stummjr also provides an example.

class MyClass(models.Model):
    # some fields here

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
       # strip spaces here
       super(MyClass, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
       # make sure to call parent save method ^
