Django Migration Files Creation Guide
To generate migration files, you can use Django’s command line tool manage.py to run the following command:
- Firstly, make sure that your model class is defined and located in the models.py file.
- Enter the following command in the terminal to generate a migration file:
python manage.py makemigrations
This command will detect changes in the model class and generate a migration file containing these changes, which will be located in the migrations directory.
- Finally, run the following command to apply these migration files:
python manage.py migrate
This command will apply the generated migration file to the database, ensuring that the database structure remains consistent with the definition of the model classes.
