Changing models

This section describes how to modify and create new models in LFS

Overview

Since version 0.8 LFS uses South migrations so you’re encouraged to read South documentation first. If you need to modify models layer of LFS then you should use ‘shemamigration’ command. If you have to migrate data then you should use ‘datamigration’ command. See examples below.

Note

Do not forget to commit migrations into repository! They’re created in migrations/ directory of the application they’re crated for

Examples

New field added to the model, or modified existing field in lfs.customer:

$ bin/django schemamigration lfs.customer --auto

New model added to lfs.catalog:

$ bin/django schemamigration lfs.customer --auto

Execute migration that was just created with ‘schemamigration’:

$ bin/django schemamigration lfs.customer --auto
$ bin/django migrate lfs.customer

Correct migration instead of creating new one, eg. if you’ve created a migration and then realized that your model still has to be corrected (see more here):

$bin/django schemamigration lfs.customer --auto --update
