I have a model like the below. No matter which url is input, I wanna remove protocols in each url such as http:// or https:// before it is stored into database. Is there any filtering feature for that?
class Store(models.Model):
url = models.CharField(max_length=100)
...
You should override the save method in order to manipulate any model fields before they are stored in the database. For example:
class Store(models.Model):
url = models.CharField(max_length=100)
...
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.url = self.url.split('//')[-1]
super(Store, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
Also see this answer for a more compliant method of removing the scheme (http or https part) from any URL.
You can use a regex to remove the protocol and then save it on the model.
import re
from .models import Store
address_before_cleaning = "https://www.google.com"
address_after_cleaning = re.sub('[\d\w]+://', '', address_before_cleaning)
store_object = Store()
store_object.url = address_after_cleaning
store_object.save()
There is documentations for re in this link
