Poultry Farm Management System with Python – Django Models Tutorial#1

Welcome to our tutorial on building a Poultry Farm Management System using Python and Django Models! In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of setting up the models for your poultry farm management system. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer, this tutorial will provide you with the fundamentals of using Django models to create a robust and efficient system for managing your poultry farm.

What is Django?

Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. It provides a set of tools and libraries for building web applications, including an object-relational mapping (ORM) system for connecting your application to a database.

Setting up the Models

First, you will need to install Django if you haven’t already. Once installed, you can start by creating a new Django project and app. Then, you can define the models for your poultry farm management system. These models will represent the various entities in your system, such as chickens, eggs, feed, and employees.

Here is an example of a Django model for representing chickens:

      
        from django.db import models
        
        class Chicken(models.Model):
          name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
          age = models.IntegerField()
          breed = models.CharField(max_length=100)
          weight = models.FloatField()
          date_added = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
          
          def __str__(self):
            return self.name
      
    

In this model, we have defined a Chicken class that represents a chicken in the poultry farm. It has various fields such as name, age, breed, weight, and date_added. The __str__ method is also defined to return the name of the chicken when it is printed.

Creating Migrations

After defining your models, you will need to create migrations to apply these changes to your database. You can do this by running the following commands in your terminal:

      
        python manage.py makemigrations
        python manage.py migrate
      
    

These commands will generate the necessary SQL code to create the tables for your models in your database and then apply these changes.
