Formatting data in table

Question

Currently using flask-admin, my data is quite long per column, i'm wondering how to format it so each line goes underneath after a certain length. So instead of

FirstName

johndoeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

transform it into this format.

FirstName

johndoeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeee

import textwrap

def _format_original_filename(view, context, model, name):
        formatted_original_name = textwrap.fill(model.original_name, 25)
        return formatted_original_name

column_formatters = {"original_name": _format_original_name}

this allowed me to wrap the string so it doesn't exceed the length view.

You can use column_formatters in Flask-Admin.

class ExampelModelView(ModelView):

    # ...

    def _format_first_name(view, context, model, name):

        formatted_first_name = procedure_to_format_first_name(model.first_name)

        return formatted_first_name

    column_formatters = {"first_name": _format_first_name}

    # ...
