Meta options¶This document explains all the possible metadata options that you can give your model in its internal
class Meta.
Meta options¶abstract¶Options.abstract¶If abstract = True, this model will be an
abstract base class.
app_label¶Options.app_label¶If a model is defined outside of an application in
INSTALLED_APPS, it must declare which app it belongs to:
app_label = 'myapp'
If you want to represent a model with the format app_label.object_name
or app_label.model_name you can use model._meta.label
or model._meta.label_lower respectively.
base_manager_name¶Options.base_manager_name¶The attribute name of the manager, for example, 'objects', to use for
the model's _base_manager.
db_table¶Options.db_table¶The name of the database table to use for the model:
db_table = 'music_album'
To save you time, Django automatically derives the name of the database table
from the name of your model class and the app that contains it. A model's
database table name is constructed by joining the model's "app label" -- the
name you used in manage.py startapp -- to the model's
class name, with an underscore between them.
For example, if you have an app bookstore (as created by
manage.py startapp bookstore), a model defined as class Book will have
a database table named bookstore_book.
To override the database table name, use the db_table parameter in
class Meta.
If your database table name is an SQL reserved word, or contains characters that aren't allowed in Python variable names -- notably, the hyphen -- that's OK. Django quotes column and table names behind the scenes.
Use lowercase table names for MariaDB and MySQL
It is strongly advised that you use lowercase table names when you override
the table name via db_table, particularly if you are using the MySQL
backend. See the MySQL notes for more details.
Table name quoting for Oracle
In order to meet the 30-char limitation Oracle has on table names,
and match the usual conventions for Oracle databases, Django may shorten
table names and turn them all-uppercase. To prevent such transformations,
use a quoted name as the value for db_table:
db_table = '"name_left_in_lowercase"'
Such quoted names can also be used with Django's other supported database backends; except for Oracle, however, the quotes have no effect. See the Oracle notes for more details.
db_tablespace¶Options.db_tablespace¶The name of the database tablespace to use
for this model. The default is the project's DEFAULT_TABLESPACE
setting, if set. If the backend doesn't support tablespaces, this option is
ignored.
default_manager_name¶Options.default_manager_name¶The name of the manager to use for the model's
_default_manager.
get_latest_by¶Options.get_latest_by¶The name of a field or a list of field names in the model, typically
DateField, DateTimeField, or IntegerField. This
specifies the default field(s) to use in your model Manager’s
latest() and
earliest() methods.
実装例:
# Latest by ascending order_date.
get_latest_by = "order_date"
# Latest by priority descending, order_date ascending.
get_latest_by = ['-priority', 'order_date']
See the latest() docs for more.
managed¶Options.managed¶Defaults to True, meaning Django will create the appropriate database
tables in migrate or as part of migrations and remove them as
part of a flush management command. That is, Django
manages the database tables' lifecycles.
If False, no database table creation, modification, or deletion
operations will be performed for this model. This is useful if the model
represents an existing table or a database view that has been created by
some other means. This is the only difference when managed=False. All
other aspects of model handling are exactly the same as normal. This
includes
Adding an automatic primary key field to the model if you don't declare it. To avoid confusion for later code readers, it's recommended to specify all the columns from the database table you are modeling when using unmanaged models.
If a model with managed=False contains a
ManyToManyField that points to another
unmanaged model, then the intermediate table for the many-to-many
join will also not be created. However, the intermediary table
between one managed and one unmanaged model will be created.
If you need to change this default behavior, create the intermediary
table as an explicit model (with managed set as needed) and use
the ManyToManyField.through attribute to make the relation
use your custom model.
For tests involving models with managed=False, it's up to you to ensure
the correct tables are created as part of the test setup.
If you're interested in changing the Python-level behavior of a model class,
you could use managed=False and create a copy of an existing model.
However, there's a better approach for that situation: プロキシモデル.
order_with_respect_to¶Options.order_with_respect_to¶Makes this object orderable with respect to the given field, usually a
ForeignKey. This can be used to make related objects orderable with
respect to a parent object. For example, if an Answer relates to a
Question object, and a question has more than one answer, and the order
of answers matters, you'd do this:
from django.db import models
class Question(models.Model):
text = models.TextField()
# ...
class Answer(models.Model):
question = models.ForeignKey(Question, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
# ...
class Meta:
order_with_respect_to = 'question'
When order_with_respect_to is set, two additional methods are provided to
retrieve and to set the order of the related objects: get_RELATED_order()
and set_RELATED_order(), where RELATED is the lowercased model name. For
example, assuming that a Question object has multiple related Answer
objects, the list returned contains the primary keys of the related Answer
objects:
>>> question = Question.objects.get(id=1)
>>> question.get_answer_order()
[1, 2, 3]
The order of a Question object's related Answer objects can be set by
passing in a list of Answer primary keys:
>>> question.set_answer_order([3, 1, 2])
The related objects also get two methods, get_next_in_order() and
get_previous_in_order(), which can be used to access those objects in their
proper order. Assuming the Answer objects are ordered by id:
>>> answer = Answer.objects.get(id=2)
>>> answer.get_next_in_order()
<Answer: 3>
>>> answer.get_previous_in_order()
<Answer: 1>
order_with_respect_to implicitly sets the ordering option
Internally, order_with_respect_to adds an additional field/database
column named _order and sets the model's ordering
option to this field. Consequently, order_with_respect_to and
ordering cannot be used together, and the ordering added by
order_with_respect_to will apply whenever you obtain a list of objects
of this model.
Changing order_with_respect_to
Because order_with_respect_to adds a new database column, be sure to
make and apply the appropriate migrations if you add or change
order_with_respect_to after your initial migrate.
ordering¶Options.ordering¶The default ordering for the object, for use when obtaining lists of objects:
ordering = ['-order_date']
This is a tuple or list of strings and/or query expressions. Each string is a field name with an optional "-" prefix, which indicates descending order. Fields without a leading "-" will be ordered ascending. Use the string "?" to order randomly.
For example, to order by a pub_date field ascending, use this:
ordering = ['pub_date']
To order by pub_date descending, use this:
ordering = ['-pub_date']
To order by pub_date descending, then by author ascending, use this:
ordering = ['-pub_date', 'author']
query expressions を使うこともできます。 author の昇順で並び替え、null値を最後にソートしたい場合、これを使います:
from django.db.models import F
ordering = [F('author').asc(nulls_last=True)]
警告
並べ替えは自由な操作ではありません。並べ替えの条件にフィールドを指定するたびに、データベースへのコストが発生します。指定した外部キーは、すべてのデフォルトの並べ替え条件を暗黙のうちに含んでいます。
If a query doesn't have an ordering specified, results are returned from
the database in an unspecified order. A particular ordering is guaranteed
only when ordering by a set of fields that uniquely identify each object in
the results. For example, if a name field isn't unique, ordering by it
won't guarantee objects with the same name always appear in the same order.
permissions¶Options.permissions¶Extra permissions to enter into the permissions table when creating this object.
Add, change, delete, and view permissions are automatically created for each
model. This example specifies an extra permission, can_deliver_pizzas:
permissions = [('can_deliver_pizzas', 'Can deliver pizzas')]
This is a list or tuple of 2-tuples in the format (permission_code,
human_readable_permission_name).
default_permissions¶Options.default_permissions¶Defaults to ('add', 'change', 'delete', 'view'). You may customize this
list, for example, by setting this to an empty list if your app doesn't
require any of the default permissions. It must be specified on the model
before the model is created by migrate in order to prevent any
omitted permissions from being created.
proxy¶Options.proxy¶If proxy = True, a model which subclasses another model will be treated as
a proxy model.
required_db_features¶Options.required_db_features¶List of database features that the current connection should have so that
the model is considered during the migration phase. For example, if you set
this list to ['gis_enabled'], the model will only be synchronized on
GIS-enabled databases. It's also useful to skip some models when testing
with several database backends. Avoid relations between models that may or
may not be created as the ORM doesn't handle this.
required_db_vendor¶Options.required_db_vendor¶Name of a supported database vendor that this model is specific to. Current
built-in vendor names are: sqlite, postgresql, mysql,
oracle. If this attribute is not empty and the current connection vendor
doesn't match it, the model will not be synchronized.
select_on_save¶Options.select_on_save¶Determines if Django will use the pre-1.6
django.db.models.Model.save() algorithm. The old algorithm
uses SELECT to determine if there is an existing row to be updated.
The new algorithm tries an UPDATE directly. In some rare cases the
UPDATE of an existing row isn't visible to Django. An example is the
PostgreSQL ON UPDATE trigger which returns NULL. In such cases the
new algorithm will end up doing an INSERT even when a row exists in
the database.
Usually there is no need to set this attribute. The default is
False.
See django.db.models.Model.save() for more about the old and
new saving algorithm.
indexes¶Options.indexes¶A list of indexes that you want to define on the model:
from django.db import models
class Customer(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
class Meta:
indexes = [
models.Index(fields=['last_name', 'first_name']),
models.Index(fields=['first_name'], name='first_name_idx'),
]
unique_together¶Options.unique_together¶Sets of field names that, taken together, must be unique:
unique_together = [['driver', 'restaurant']]
This is a list of lists that must be unique when considered together.
It's used in the Django admin and is enforced at the database level (i.e., the
appropriate UNIQUE statements are included in the CREATE TABLE
statement).
For convenience, unique_together can be a single list when dealing with
a single set of fields:
unique_together = ['driver', 'restaurant']
A ManyToManyField cannot be included in
unique_together. (It's not clear what that would even mean!) If you
need to validate uniqueness related to a
ManyToManyField, try using a signal or
an explicit through model.
The ValidationError raised during model validation when the constraint
is violated has the unique_together error code.
index_together¶Options.index_together¶Sets of field names that, taken together, are indexed:
index_together = [
["pub_date", "deadline"],
]
This list of fields will be indexed together (i.e. the appropriate
CREATE INDEX statement will be issued.)
For convenience, index_together can be a single list when dealing with a single
set of fields:
index_together = ["pub_date", "deadline"]
constraints¶Options.constraints¶A list of constraints that you want to define on the model:
from django.db import models
class Customer(models.Model):
age = models.IntegerField()
class Meta:
constraints = [
models.CheckConstraint(check=models.Q(age__gte=18), name='age_gte_18'),
]
verbose_name¶Options.verbose_name¶A human-readable name for the object, singular:
verbose_name = "pizza"
If this isn't given, Django will use a munged version of the class name:
CamelCase becomes camel case.
verbose_name_plural¶Options.verbose_name_plural¶The plural name for the object:
verbose_name_plural = "stories"
If this isn't given, Django will use verbose_name + "s".
