Adding models from one app to another app

[Inderpreet Singh]

This is directory structure of my django site
---- LibreHatti
   |----- src
      |----- useraccounts
      |----- librehatti
         |------- catalog
         |------- reports

Now what we need is to reference a model from useraccounts in librehatti.catalog as a foreign key and I am unable to do that.

I tried by adding 'appname.modelname' in foreign key field but it actually refrences librehatti.useraccounts.address, which is not what I want.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

The easiest way here is to import model module.

from django.db import model
from some_app.some_package import model as foreign_model

class MyClass(model.Model):
foo = model.ForeignKey(foreign_model.SomeForeignModel)

But you also can import model from any installed app as 'app_name.model_class_name'.

You may do it like this models of librehatti.
from useraccount import model.modelname

If you want all useraccounts model in librehatti, then do like,
from useraccounts.models import *
