How to map PostgreSQL array field in Django ORM

Question

I have an array field in my PostrgreSQL database of type text. Is there a way to map this into a Django model ?

Answer 1

Since Django 1.8 there is a django.contrib.postgress module that adds support to array fields among other PostgreSQL data types.

For example you can do something like this:

from django.contrib.postgres.fields import ArrayField
from django.db import models

class GoGame(models.Model):
    board = ArrayField(ArrayField(models.IntegerField(),size=19),size=19)
