My first Crud Operation

Introduction

As a budding Django developer, creating my first CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operation was a significant milestone. This blog post will walk you through the steps I took to achieve this, providing a clear and concise guide for beginners.

Setting Up the Project

Create a New Django Project:

• django-admin startproject my_project

  Create a New App:

  cd my_project
  python manage.py startapp my_app
  

  Creating the Model

  Define the Model: 

  In my_app/models.py, create a model to represent the data you want to manage:

  from django.db import models
  
  class MyModel(models.Model):
      name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
      description = models.TextField()
  
      def __str__(self):
          return self.name 

  Migrate the Changes:

  python manage.py makemigrations my_app
  python manage.py migrate

  Creating the Views

  Create the Views: In my_app/views.py, create views for each CRUD operation:

  Python

  from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
  from .models import MyModel
  
  def create_view(request):
      if request.method == 'POST':
          form = MyModelForm(request.POST)
          if form.is_valid():
              form.save()
              return redirect('list_view')    1.  github.com github.com
      else:
          form = MyModelForm()
      return render(request, 'my_app/create.html', {'form': form})
  
  # ... (similar views for read, update, and delete)
  

  Access the Views: Visit the URLs you defined in your browser to test the CRUD operations.

  Conclusion

  By following these steps, you've successfully created your first CRUD operation with Django. This is a fundamental building block for many web applications. You can now expand upon this by adding more features, customizing the templates, and implementing additional functionality.
