In case of Django model,

January 8, 2022

In the django code in order to make a model,

for example,

class Student(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length = 200)

Why models.CharField(max_length = 200). Why can’t we write only name=CharField(max_length = 200)

>Solution :

You can. You should only import that field in the scope, for example with:

from django.db import models
from django.db.models import CharField  # 🖘 import CharField

class Student(models.Model):
    name = CharField(max_length=200)  # 🖘 use CharField

The field classes like CharField, IntegerField, … are all members of the django.db.models module, so you can import these in the head of the file.

You can also import Model and thus work with:

from django.db import models
from django.db.models import CharField, Model  # 🖘 import Model

class Student(Model):  # 🖘 use Model
    name = CharField(max_length=200)
