Steps of creating the model

In this article, we will create a new module. So, to create a model

1. Create a new module using the following command

<python_path>\python manage.py startapp <module_name>

2. In the module, add the following code in models.py

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.
class MyNewScreen(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length = 120)
    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

In the above model, I have created a field ‘name’.

3. In the root folder, add the module in settings.py
