Unchained

Common helper functions to help Django break free

Install

pip install git+https://github.com/aychedee/unchained.git

Running tests

./setup.py test

Usage

Sending html emails properly

from unchained import send_html_email

send_html_email(
    'A Subject',
    'template_stub',
    'sender@mail.com'
    ['a@b.c', 'b@c.a']
)

This relies on having two files in your templates directory. One called template_stub.txt and the other called template_stub.html

Storing json as json in Postgres

A JSON field type for your models that will accept Python strings, lists, or dicts and convert them back to the appropriate type on the way out.

from django.db import models
from unchained.fields import JSONField

class AModel(models.Model):
    data = JSONField()
