[Django]-Django TextField max_length validation for ModelForm

✅

As of Django 1.2 this can be done by validators at model level, as explained here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/validators/

from django.core.validators import MaxLengthValidator

class Comment(models.Model):
    comment = models.TextField(validators=[MaxLengthValidator(200)])

Since Django 1.7, you can use max_length which is only enforced in client side. See here

You can enforce a max length for a TextField by defining a CharField with a Textarea widget like this:

class MyClass(models.Model):
    textfield = models.TextField()

class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
    textfield = forms.CharField(
        max_length = 50,
        widget = forms.Textarea
    )

    class Meta:
        model = MyClass
        fields = ('textfield',)

No need to import MaxLengthValidator from validators for Django 2.x

from django.db import models
class Comment(models.Model):
  comment = models.TextField(max_length=200)
