Django Generator

BESSER provides a code generator for Django models. These models represent the classes and relationships specified in a Structural model.

Let’s generate the code for the Django models of our Structural model example structural model example. You should create a DjangoGenerator object, provide the Structural model, and use the generate method as follows:

from besser.generators.django import DjangoGenerator

generator: DjangoGenerator = DjangoGenerator(model=library_model)
generator.generate()

The models.py file with the Django models defined will be generated in the <<current_directory>>/output folder and it will look as follows.

from django.db import models

class Book(models.Model):
    pages = models.IntegerField()
    release = models.DateTimeField()
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    writtenBy = models.ManyToManyField('Author')
    locatedIn = models.ForeignKey('Library')

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.id)

class Author(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    email = models.CharField(max_length=255)

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.id)

class Library(models.Model):
    address = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.id)
