Models

Represent your data rows.

Definition

A Django Model is a Python class that maps to a database table. Each attribute of the model maps to a database column.

Workflow: Creating a model

1. Define a class that inherits from models.Model.

2. Add fields as class attributes.

3. Run makemigrations and migrate to create the database table.

4. Register the model in admin.py to manage it via the Django admin.
