Custom field validators in Django

Did you know?

In Django, you can add custom validators to your model fields

For example, you can validate that price is always greater than 0👇

from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError
from django.db import models
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _


def validate_greater_than_zero(value):
    if value <= 0:
        raise ValidationError(
            _("%(value)s is not greater than zero."),
            params={"value": value},
        )


class Book(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=120)
    price = models.DecimalField(validators=[validate_greater_than_zero])
