Installation

To install django-ulid from pip:

    $ pip install django-ulid

To install ulid from source:

    $ git clone git@github.com:ahawker/django-ulid.git
    $ cd django-ulid && python setup.py install

Usage

Adding a ULID field to your Django models is straightforward. It can be a normal field or a primary key.

from django.db import models
from django_ulid.models import default, ULIDField

class Person(models.Model):
    id = ULIDField(default=default, primary_key=True, editable=False)

Passing in default to the ULIDField will automatically create a default value using the ulid.new function. If you do not want a default value, None by default, feel free to omit it.

from django.db import models
from django_ulid.models import ULIDField

class Person(models.Model):
    optional_id = ULIDField()

Adding a ULID field to your Django REST Framework serializers is also straightforward.

Simply importing the django_ulid.serializers module will automatically register the ULIDField serializer by overriding the serializer_field_mapping on the default ModelSerializer.

from django_ulid import serializers

If you are using a ULID as a primary key on a model, you need to create a custom PrimaryKeyRelatedField to automatically serialize the instance through the foreign key.

import functools
from django_ulid.serializers import ULIDField
from rest_framework import serializers

PersonPrimaryKeyRelatedField = functools.partial(serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField,
                                                 allow_null=True,
                                                 allow_empty=True,
                                                 pk_field=ULIDField(),
                                                 queryset=Person.objects.all())

class OrganizationSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    owner = PersonPrimaryKeyRelatedField()
