'isbn_field',
)Use the field in your model
from django.db import models
from isbn_field import ISBNField
class Book(models.Model):
isbn = ISBNField()
...It will raise a ValidationError when the number provided is invalid.
Further, by default any entered ISBN will be cleaned (dashes and spaces are removed) and stored in this canonical form. You can disable this and store the original form through the clean_isbn flag.
from django.db import models
from isbn_field import ISBNField
class Book(models.Model):
dirty_isbn = ISBNField(clean_isbn=False)
...In case you expect very chaotic input (e.g. more than one space or dash between digits), you might also want to increase the max_length of the field to allow for enough room for the string in the database.
