Re: Django apps and models
Thanks for the advise, I had considers this option, and I really dose seem that apps are move for generic features as you pointed out but I have about 10 tables which are as depended in structure as the ones noted above. I really don't what to have too much code in one view.py or model.py file. For now I plan to create a customer app without the ForeignKey relationship, work on it and when I add the branch model I add the relationship that links them. Probably a bad idea but thats the bes I have so far, this is something I'll need to think about a bit more though.

Re: Django apps and models
I'll add my 2c here... I don't think you need to create an app for this (not yet). Just create a normal Django project and go from there. Apps are more meant for very generic types of functionality that can be used in many, many situations e.g. tagging. Your design is still very broad and so hard to comment on. You may want to consider a many-to-many between customer and branch. Then you can add data for each without being dependant on either existing first. This also gives you the flexibility to link up the same customer to many branches.

Django apps and models
Hi guys, Say I have a CUSTOMER, BRANCH and a SALES table for my project design. Question, should is it wise to create a customer, branch and sales app. I like this idea of doing this but I have a few issues. 1. If I create a customer app and create a Customer model class that has a ForeignKey relationship with the branch table, I would seem that I have to create the branch application first and create its Branch model class. 2. Also what if I plan for some reason to populate the branch table using the admin interface, to avoid creating a view and templates for it. Would I still make sense to create app just to host possibly one model. What came to mind what to create a app that only manages all the database table or at least just table like branch which I don't plant to create views for. I guess this is what generally happens in the MVC frame works that are now app oriented like django. I like the django Idea of having models in the apps at it seems more portable, so I would like to keep things this way as much as possible which is why I as seeking some advise on how to possibly deal with this kind of situation. Maybe my opinion of an app is flawed is some way, which is why I am having this issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
