one of the questions that came to my mind is that in a many-to-one relationship in Django, where should the foreign key be located? I mean, it should be in many or in part one?
For example, we have two classes, post and comment: in this case, where should the ForeignKey be located in the comment or post class?
post model :
class post(models.model):
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
category = models.ManyToManyField("PostCategory", blank=True)
caption = models.CharField(max_length=2000)
comment model :
class Comment(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
verbose_name=_('user'), on_delete=models.CASCADE)
text = models.TextField()
Now here is the comment field where the foreign key should be defined?
Foreign key must be used on the "Many" side of the Many-to-one relationships.
In your question, you have Post and Comment models. Since each post can have many comments, you should put a foreign key into your Comment model.
class Comment(models.Model):
post = models.ForeignKey(Post, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
