[Django] The admin interface

Posted 2020-09-02 Answer1215

Now let‘s see how to access admin interface.

 

1. Create a super user which can access admin interface:

python manage.py createsuperuser

 

2. Inside admin.py, we import the Models we have defined:

from django.contrib import admin

# Register your models here.
from .models import List, Card

admin.site.register(List)
admin.site.register(Card)

---

The models:

from django.db import models
from django.utils.encoding import python_2_unicode_compatible

@python_2_unicode_compatible
class List(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)

    def __str__(self):
        return "List {}".format(self.name)


@python_2_unicode_compatible
class Card(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    description = models.TextField(blank=True)
    list = models.ForeignKey(List, related_name="cards")
    story_points = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True)
    business_value = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return "Card {}".format(self.title)

 

Notice that if you change models.py file, you need to run migrations again:

python manage.py makemigrations

 

If you see the terminal warning that "You have 1 unapplied migration(s)... Run ‘python manage.py mifate‘ to apply then."

python mange.py migrate

 

3. Run the server:

python manage.py runserver

Go to the url: localhost:8000/admin
