This may be difficult to explain. I'm a little new to django and the
whole idea of models.
Let's say I'm making an article app, where each article has a creator,
but other users can edit the article at will. I'm having a little
difficult on how to create the models for this.
Firstly, I extend the user profile with the following:
class UserProfile(models.Model):
#Required field:
user = models.OneToOneField(User)
#Other Fields:
headline = models.CharField()
industry = models.CharField()
article= models.ForeignKey(articleModel.article)
Here is the first place I'm getting confused, do I put the foreignkey
field in the user model? My reasoning for it being placed here is
because each article can have many editors.
Now here is my article model:
class article(models.Model):
#primary key is already true
creator = models.ForeignKey(userModel.UserProfile)
title = models.CharField()
text = models.TextField()
Over here, I put the ForeignKey field so it would relate back to the
creator, because every article has a single creator. (As a side note,
I do want to make it so an article can have multiple creators, but I
don't know what to do in this scenario). I'm finding it a bit odd that
the UserProfile model is referencing the article model, and the
article is referencing it back. Can someone please help me unjumble my
brain?
Thank you. :)
