django_evolution.signature

Classes for working with stored evolution state signatures.

These provide a way to work with the state of Django apps and their models in an abstract way, and to deserialize from or serialize to a string. Signatures can also be diffed, showing the changes between an older and a newer version in order to help see how the current database’s signature differs from an older stored version.

Serialized versions of signatures are versioned, and the signature classes handle loading and saving as any version. However, state may be lost when downgrading a signature.

The following versions are currently supported:

Version 1:

The original version of the signature, used up until Django Evolution 1.0. This is in the form of:

{
    '__version__': 1,
    '<legacy_app_label>': {
        '<model_name>': {
            'meta': {
                'db_table': '<table name>',
                'db_tablespace': '<tablespace>',
                'index_together': [
                    ('<colname>', ...),
                    ...
                ],
                'indexes': [
                    {
                        'name': '<name>',
                        'fields': ['<colname>', ...],
                    },
                    ...
                ],
                'pk_column': '<colname>',
                'unique_together': [
                    ('<colname>', ...),
                    ...
                ],
                '__unique_together_applied': True|False,
            },
            'fields': {
                'field_type': <class>,
                'related_model': '<app_label>.<class_name>',
                '<field_attr>': <value>,
                ...
            },
        },
        ...
    },
    ...
}

        '<app_label>': {
            'legacy_app_label': '<legacy app_label>',

class django_evolution.signature.IndexSignature(fields, name=None, expressions=None, attrs=None)

Bases: BaseSignature

Signature information for an explicit index.

These indexes were introduced in Django 1.11. They correspond to entries in the model._meta.indexes <django.db.models.Options.indexes attribute.

Changed in version 2.2: Added a new attrs attribute for storing:

  • db_tablespace from Django 2.0+

  • condition from Django 2.2+

  • include and opclasses from Django 3.2+

Added a new expressions attribute for Django 3.2+.
