Code (in forms.py)

absense-planner/ap_src/ap_app/forms.py

Lines 39 to 48 in 412ca3b

	def name_similarity(self) -> float:
	"""Returns float between 0 and 1 depending on the similarity
	of the current name compared to existing team names. Returns
	NoneType if there are no similarities."""
	teams = Team.objects.all()
	for team in teams:
	similarity = SequenceMatcher(None, self["name"].value(), team.name).ratio()
	if similarity >= 0.9:
	return similarity

Code (when accessing the from from forms.py in a view)

This includes views like create_team().

        form = CreateTeamForm(request.POST)
        if form.name_similarity():
            # TODO: write code to tell the user that their team name is similar and to give them
            # options to change the team name.
            return HttpResponse(
                "Debug: Did not create form because the name is too similar to another team name"
            )
