django-generate-code

A tool that can write some code for you. Cool, yeah?

Lyricism

I indeed was jelous to see that RoR programmers can just do their rails generate and so on. It is realy not a necessary tool, but... let it be!

generate_model

Will create a new model class in models.py of your_app_name.

Command arguments

In order to create a model you need to pass:

• application name (where models.py is located)
• your model name
• (optional) fields and their data types

python manage.py generate_model *your_app_name* *new_model_name* some_field:string some_other_field:int

Field types

Can translate the following 'data types' to fields:

• string: models.CharField(min_length=255)
• slug: models.SlugField()
• text: models.TextField()
• url: models.URLField()
• integer: models.IntegerField()
• decimal: models.DecimalField(max_digits=9, decimal_places=2)

Usage example

python manage.py generate_model_code myapp MyModel title:string price:decimal description:text

Will generate the following code in myapp/models.py:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(min_length=255)
    price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=9, decimal_places=2)
    description = models.TextField()
