Django forms for sex - django

Question

I am working with a database that stores sex as 0 - male and 1 - female.
My forms.py looks like this
class CustomUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta(UserCreationForm.Meta):
model = TbUser
def clean_username(self):
username = self.cleaned_data["username"]
try:
TbUser.objects.get(username=username)
except TbUser.DoesNotExist:
return username
raise forms.ValidationError(self.error_messages['duplicate_username'])
class TbUserRegisterForm(CustomUserCreationForm):
email = forms.EmailField()
class Meta:
model = TbUser
fields = ['username', 'email', 'cellphone', 'sex', 'role', 'department', 'password1', 'password2']
Django user model
class TbUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
id = models.CharField(primary_key=True, max_length=32, default=uuid.uuid4)
username = models.CharField(max_length=40, blank=True, null=True, unique=True, db_column='usname')
password = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True, db_column='dj_psword')
email = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)
cellphone = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)
image_id = models.CharField(max_length=40, blank=True, null=True)
sex = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
is_available = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
role = models.ForeignKey(TbRole, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
department = models.ForeignKey(TbDepartment, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
is_superuser = models.BooleanField(default=False, blank=True, null=True, db_column='default_super')
is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
objects = TbUserManager()
USERNAME_FIELD = 'username'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['email']
class Meta:
managed = False
db_table = 'tb_user'
def __str__(self):
return '%s' % self.username
Since sex is an integer field, the UI form field is not a choice field but just showing arrows for incrementing the integer. Is there a way to make it a choice field that for m will store 0 and f - 1?

Answer 1

Yes, you can assign this to the choices=… parameter [Django-doc]:
SEX_CHOICES = [
(0, 'Male')
, (1, 'Female')
]
class TbUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
# …
sex = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True, choices=SEX_CHOICES)
# …
