Django - Overriding the Model.create() method?

Question

The Django docs only list examples for overriding save() and delete(). However, I\'d like to define some extra processing for my models onl

Answer 1

The preferred answer is correct but the test to tell whether the object is being created doesn't work if your model derives from UUIDModel. The pk field will already have a value.

In this case, you can do this:

already_created = MyModel.objects.filter(pk=self.pk).exists()
