===========================
Check constraints reference
===========================
.. module:: django.db.models.constraints
.. currentmodule:: django.db.models
.. versionadded:: 2.2
The ``CheckConstraint`` class creates database check constraints. They are
added in the model :attr:`Meta.constraints
<django.db.models.Options.constraints>` option. This document
explains the API references of :class:`CheckConstraint`.
.. admonition:: Referencing built-in constraints
Constraints are defined in ``django.db.models.constraints``, but for
convenience they're imported into :mod:`django.db.models`. The standard
convention is to use ``from django.db import models`` and refer to the
constraints as ``models.CheckConstraint``.
``CheckConstraint`` options
===========================
.. class:: CheckConstraint(constraint, name)
Creates a check constraint in the database.
``constraint``
--------------
.. attribute:: CheckConstraint.constraint
A :class:`Q` object that specifies the condition you want the constraint to
enforce.
For example ``CheckConstraint(Q(age__gte=18), 'age_gte_18')`` ensures the age
field is never less than 18.
``name``
--------
.. attribute:: CheckConstraint.name
The name of the constraint.
