How to represent a US state in my Django model?

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I'm using Django, Python 3.7. I want to represent a US state field in my model. So I added this

from django.contrib.localflavor.us.models import USStateField
...
class UsLocation(models.Model):
    address_1 = models.CharField(_("address"), max_length=128)
    address_2 = models.CharField(_("address cont'd"), max_length=128, blank=True)

    city = models.CharField(_("city"), max_length=64, null=False)
    state = USStateField(_("state"), null=False)
    zip_code = models.CharField(_("zip code"), max_length=10, null=False)

Bu tthis is resulting in an "Unresolved reference 'USStateField'" in the import line. I'm not tied to using this library. Is there another way I can conveniently represent a US state and if not, what's wrong with the above?

Per the docs, localflavor has been separated out into a third party library. You can follow the installation instructions here, then:

from localflavor.us.models import USStateField
...
class UsLocation(models.Model):
    ...
    state = USStateField(...)
