Hello there, I'm trying to do a form that can store the customers records, but recently it's throw me this error

TypeError at /crear-cliente/

object of type 'int' has no len()

C:\Users\G-FIVE\Desktop\practicas y proyectos\mini_erp\MiniErp\customers\views.py, line 43, in register_customer

36.             address = address
    

37.         )
    

39.         customer.save()
    

40.         """
    

41.         form = FormCustomer(request.POST)
    

43.         if form.is_valid():
    

    …

44.             data_form = form.cleaned_data
    

46.             first_name = data_form['first_name']
    

47.             last_name = data_form['last_name']
    

48.             cedula = data_form['cedula']
    

49.             phone_number = data_form['phone_number']
    

I did the form using the Django classes, I'll show you the code of the form, the view and the model

Form code:

from django import forms
from django.core import validators


# Clase para el formulario de registro de clientes
class FormCustomer(forms.Form):

    # Input para el first_name
    first_name = forms.CharField(
        label='Nombre',
        required=True,
        widget=forms.TextInput(
            attrs={
                'placeholder':'Ej: John',
                'class': 'form-control form-control-user mb-3',
                'id': 'first_name'
            }
        ),
        validators= [
            validators.MinLengthValidator(3, 'El nombre está incompleto')
        ]
    )


    # Input para el last_name
    last_name = forms.CharField(
        label='Apellido',
        required=True,
        widget=forms.TextInput(
            attrs={
                'placeholder':'Ej: Doe',
                'class': 'form-control form-control-user mb-3',
                'id': 'last_name'
            }
        ),
        validators= [
            validators.MinLengthValidator(3, 'El nombre está incompleto')
        ]
    )


    # Input para la cédula
    cedula = forms.IntegerField(
        label='Cédula',
        required=True,
        widget=forms.NumberInput(
            attrs={
                'placeholder':'xx xxx xxx',
                'class': 'form-control form-control-user mb-3',
                'id': 'cedula'
            }
        ),
        validators= [
            validators.MinLengthValidator(7, 'Faltan números'),
            validators.MaxLengthValidator(8, 'Has introducido más números')
        ]
    )


    # Input para el teléfono
    phone_number = forms.IntegerField(
        label='Teléfono',
        required=True,
        widget=forms.NumberInput(
            attrs={
                'placeholder':'04xx xxx xx xx',
                'class': 'form-control form-control-user mb-3',
                'id': 'phone_number'
            }
        ),
        validators= [
            validators.MinLengthValidator(11, 'Faltan números'),
            validators.MaxLengthValidator(11, 'Has introducido más números')
        ]
    )


    # Input para la dirección
    address = forms.CharField(
        label='Dirección',
        widget=forms.Textarea(
            attrs={
                'class': 'form-control form-control-user mb-3',
                'style': 'min-height: 150px; max-height: 150px;',
                'id': 'address'
            }
        )
    )

View code:

# Vista que se encarga de registrar al cliente (C)
def register_customer(request):

    if request.method == 'POST':
        
        form = FormCustomer(request.POST)

        if form.is_valid():
            data_form = form.cleaned_data

            first_name = data_form['first_name']
            last_name = data_form['last_name']
            cedula = data_form['cedula']
            phone_number = data_form['phone_number']
            address = data_form['address']

            customer = Customer(
                first_name = first_name,
                last_name = last_name,
                cedula = cedula,
                phone_number = phone_number,
                address = address
            )

            customer.save()

            return redirect('home')

    elif request.method == 'GET':
        return redirect('create_customer')

Model code:

# Clase para la tabla Cliente
class Customer(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, verbose_name='Nombre(s)')
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, verbose_name='Apellido(s)')
    cedula = models.IntegerField(max_length=8, verbose_name='Cédula')
    phone_number = models.IntegerField(max_length=11, verbose_name="Teléfono")
    address = models.TextField(verbose_name='Dirección')
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, verbose_name="Creado el")
    updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True, verbose_name="Actualizado el")

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'Cliente'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Clientes'
        ordering = ['-created_at']

    def __str__(self):
        return self.first_name

I'd like that someone can give me a little help

I have tried to look for examples and I have seen code similar to mine

CodePudding user response：

You are using MinLengthValidator and MaxLengthValidator on the IntegerFields, which tries to use the len() function on integers. This is not possible. Therefore, your cedula and phone_number fields will produce the object of type 'int' has no len() error. You can either look into using MaxValueValidator and MinValueValidator with integer for validators instead of MinLengthValidator and MaxLengthValidator or change the fields to CharField.

I'm not sure what cedula is, but I would recommend making phone_number a string. Phone numbers are not considered integers and can have special characters, such as adding a area code.
