Types

Added in 1.0.1 Changed in 1.1.0

SettingType is an IntEnum with ChoicesEnumMixin. Members are integers (STRING = 0). Labels live on label(). Django fields use SettingType.choices(). The database always stores text (or NULL). The service converts the snapshot to typed values.

Type	Stored format	Runtime value
STRING	text	str
BOOLEAN	True / true / 1 / yes	bool
INTEGER	digits	int
FLOAT	decimal text	float
DECIMAL	decimal text	Decimal
SECURE	encrypted text	decrypted str
DATE	DD.MM.YYYY	date
TIME	HH:MM:SS	time
DATETIME	DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM:SS	aware datetime
STRING_ARRAY	a;b;c	list[str]
INTEGER_ARRAY	1;2;3	list[int]
FLOAT_ARRAY / DECIMAL_ARRAY	semicolon-separated	list[float] / list[Decimal]
*_CHOICES	selected value	typed scalar
*_MULTIPLE_CHOICES	JSON list	list
JSON	JSON or a Python literal	parsed object
UUID	UUID text	UUID
COLOR	unused	parse error

JSON first uses json.loads. A Python literal with single quotes is the fallback. Replacing ' with " is not used: it breaks valid JSON that contains an apostrophe.
