Need help for saving JSON object into Django Model (class object)

[Sonali Vighne]

Hi,

I have create a model 

Models.py

from django.db import models

import datetime

from django.utils import timezone

class Question(models.Model):

    question_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')

    def __str__(self):

        return self.question_text

    def was_published_recently(self):

        return self.pub_date >= timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)

using this model table created in database. I am creating REST API . I am passing in request body

{

"question": { "question_text":"Some question?"

  "pub_date":timezone.now()

       }

}

I am getting this code, but how to save that data in existing model. So that I can save that info into database.

i.e. want to save above data question object.

# Please try to use this logic in your views.py file.

# first extract the data from the request 

question_text = request.data['question_text'] 

pub_date =  request.data['pub_date '] 

#Then store this data in your model.

Question.objects.create(question_text =question_text , pub_date = pub_date )

That's it. This will create an object in your data base with the data you extracted from the request. You can check in django admin panel.

Enjoy!

Thanks , it works for me. 

there is minor changes request.data is not working, so I tried request.body

and then extracted value from dict.

Do you know any other way to it without using dict.

if yes please , help with same.
