How do I separate my models out in django?
Solution 1:
It is possible, just make sure to import all the models you create in __init__.py
in your models
directory. In your case, it would look like this:
# __init__.py
from .user import UserModel
from .group import GroupModel
This needs to be done because Django looks in app.models
for an app's models.
As others have mentioned, for versions of Django prior to 1.7, you'll also need to specify your app's name in the app_label
attribute in the Meta
class in your model:
class UserModel(models.model):
# fields here
class Meta:
app_label = "myapp"
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/models/options/#app-label
Solution 2:
you could have a folder called "models" but then in each model class you'll need to include:
class Meta:
app_label="appname goes here"
*ps. Don't forget a __ init__.py file like I always do.*
