Populating django field with pre_save()?

Question

class TodoList(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(maxlength=100)
    slug = models.SlugField(maxlength=100)
    def save(self):
        self.slug = title
           


        

Answer 1

you can use django signals.pre_save:

from django.db.models.signals import post_save, post_delete, pre_save

class TodoList(models.Model):
    @staticmethod
    def pre_save(sender, instance, **kwargs):
        #do anything you want

pre_save.connect(TodoList.pre_save, TodoList, dispatch_uid="sightera.yourpackage.models.TodoList")
