Mongoengine creation_time attribute in Document

Question

I am trying to add a creation_time attribute to my documents. The following would be an example:

import datetime

class MyModel(mongoengine.Docu         


        

Answer 1

You could use auto_now_add parameter as per documentation:

class MyModel(mongoengine.Document):
    creation_date = mongo.DateTimeField(auto_now_add = True)
    modified_date = mongo.DateTimeField(auto_now = True)
