Split models.py into several files

Question

I\'m trying to split the models.py of my app into several files:

My first guess was do this:

myproject/
    settings.py
    manage.py
           


        

Answer 1

Easiest Steps :

1. Create model folder in your app (Folder name should be model)
2. Delete model.py file from app directory (Backup the file while you delete it)
3. And after create init.py file in model folder
4. And after init.py file in write simple one line
5. And after create model file in your model folder and model file name should be same like as class name,if class name is 'Employee' than model file name should be like 'employee.py'
6. And after in model file define your database table same as write like in model.py file
7. Save it

My Code : from django_adminlte.models.employee import Employee

For your : from app_name.models.model_file_name_only import Class_Name_which_define_in_model_file

---

__init__.py

from django_adminlte.models.employee import Employee

---

model/employee.py (employee is separate model file)

from django.db import models

class Employee(models.Model):
eid = models.CharField(max_length=20)
ename = models.CharField(max_length=20)
eemail = models.EmailField()
econtact = models.CharField(max_length=15)

class Meta:
    db_table = "employee"
    # app_label = 'django_adminlte'
    
def __str__(self):
    return self.ename
