Installation

Install it with pip (or easy_install):

pip install django-idfield

Usage

You can use IDField for primary keys or to generate SMS/Email codes:

from idfield import IDField

class MyModel(models.Model):
    id = IDField(max_length=10, readable=False, primary_key=True, editable=False) # lzfgxcm3u4, etc
    code = IDField(max_length=4, readable=True) # GKUP, etc

Notes

• IDField is not a completely unique ID. The larger value of max_length makes less collisions possible.
• IDField always generate a value, if value is not set.
• If readable=True, value will be generated from caps letters and numbers, which do not look alike.
