How can I import all models in the settings.py in INSTALLED_APPS? When i`m trying to insert some model there is an error occurred: "no models named app1_model"
-ProjectName
--ProjectName
---models
----__init__.py
----admin.py
----app_1_model
----....
----app_n_model
---templates
---__init__.py
---settings.py
---urls.py
---wsgi.py
--manage.py
^ Structure of project ^
The INSTALLED_APPS is for apps not for models. Models are classes that live within your app, usually in /«app_name»/models.py
.
I think you have misunderstood how a Django project is structured. Try working through a tutorial example.
a typical structure:
/«project»/«app_name»/models.py
and in settings:
INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... '«app_name»' ... ]
Your path will contain the base project directory, so you can import your app where you need it.
And to use them:
from «app_name».models import *
Although it is always best not to import *
, instead, name the classes you wish to import.
To answer the question in the comment:
If you don't like the idea of storing all your models in one file (even though it is normal to do this), you can create a module called models. To do this, create a directory called /«project»/«app_name»/models
, inside it put __init__.py
(to declare it as a module) and then create your files inside there. You then need to import your file contents into the module in __init__.py
. You should read about Python modules to understand this.
To answer the second comment question:
To view models in admin, you should create an admin file with model admin objects.
And finally:
Please read through the tutorials to ensure you have a thorough understanding of Django. Otherwise you're wasting your own time!
