Django Model Stub Builder

Scaffold a Django model without the boilerplate

Every Django model repeats the same structure: field declarations, a Meta class for ordering and verbose names, a __str__ for the admin, and often a custom manager. This builder turns a model name and a short field list into a complete, migration-ready class so you focus on the domain instead of the syntax.

How it works

You give the model a CapitalCase name and list fields as name type pairs. The tool maps each type to the correct Django field class with reasonable defaults:

char     -> CharField(max_length=255)
text     -> TextField(blank=True)
int      -> IntegerField(default=0)
bool     -> BooleanField(default=False)
email    -> EmailField()
url      -> URLField(blank=True)
decimal  -> DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
fk       -> ForeignKey(..., on_delete=models.CASCADE)
slug     -> SlugField(unique=True)
date     -> DateField()
datetime -> DateTimeField()

It then assembles the class: your fields, an automatic created_at / updated_at timestamp pair, a __str__ that returns the first text-like field (falling back to the primary key), a Meta class with ordering and human-readable verbose_name values, and a custom Manager with an example active() queryset. The result imports cleanly and is ready for makemigrations.

Tips and notes

• For a ForeignKey, the builder references a placeholder related model. Edit the target and related_name to match your schema before migrating.
• The default ordering = ["-created_at"] shows newest first. Change it to any field, prefixing with - for descending.
• If you add choices, define them as a class-level tuple and pass choices= to the field — the builder includes a commented example to follow.
• Keep model names singular; Django automatically pluralises the table and admin labels via verbose_name_plural.
