I am trying to make one of my model
objects a ManyToMany
Field, so I can access the objects through both models.
I am receiving the following error
.
listing = models.ManyToMany(Listings, blank=True, related_name="listing")
AttributeError: module 'django.db.models' has no attribute 'ManyToMany'
models.py
:
class WatchList(models.Model):
listing = models.ManyToMany(Listings, blank=True, related_name="listing")
user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, default="")
CodePudding user response:
The name of the field is a ManyToManyField
[Django-doc], so this includes the …Field
in ManyToManyField
:
from django.conf import settings
class WatchList(models.Model):
listing = models.ManyToManyField(Listings, blank=True, related_name='watchlists')
user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
Note: It is normally better to make use of the
settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL
[Django-doc] to refer to the user model, than to use theUser
model [Django-doc] directly. For more information you can see the referencing theUser
model section of the documentation.
Note: The
related_name=…
parameter [Django-doc] is the name of the relation in reverse, so from theListings
model to theWatchlist
model in this case. Therefore it (often) makes not much sense to name it the same as the forward relation. You thus might want to consider renaming therelation tolisting
watchlists
.
Note: normally a Django model is given a singular name, so
Listing
instead of.Listings
