Getting Typerror in django but fields appear to be defined correctly-CodePudding

I'm brand new to django and I can't figure out why this is happening. Here is my model which I have added to my settings "Installed Apps" config and I have migrated:

class User(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length = 200),
    state = models.CharField

In the shell I import the model like so:

from homepage.models import User

then I try to create a new user like so:

a = User(name='Alex', state='Alberta')

and it throws this error which makes no sense to me because I've defined the fields of the User schema above: I know I'm missing something like maybe I'm supposed to add something to my views.py file before starting the shell but I just don't know. Any direction appreciated! Thanks!

CodePudding user response：

Your model has an extra , and the state field is not instantiated. All fields declared on models must be instantiated.

A valid implementation will look something like this:

class User(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    state = models.CharField(max_length=200)
