Hi all,
In my Django project I want to have a model that is dynamically
created. I tried using the __init__ function for this, something like
so:
fields = ['field_a', 'field_b', 'field_c']
class MyModel(models.Model):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
for field in fields:
setattr(self, field, models.DecimalField(decimal_places=4,
max_digits=10))
Sadly, this doesn't work. The columns don't get created when you run
the syncdb command, and even something like
MyModel._meta.get_all_field_names() doesn't return the dynamic fields.
So, is there a way I can create a "dynamic" model? I did come across
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DynamicModels but I don't really
get that. It looks so much different then normal models, it seems like
I would loose a lot of functionality or would have to change a lot of
code somewhere else in my application?
Hopefully there is an easy way to do this :)
Cheers,
Kevin
