Django rest framework Best way to link and display value.

[chern...@gmail.com]

I have a table called family, you can see the models.py below.

My partner told me that he wanted the relationship to change to this kind

1,Father

2,Mother

3,Husband

4,Wife

5,Son

6,Daughter

7,Aunt

8,Uncle

9,Nephew

10,Niece

11,Others

This is where he will sent me the id (eg:5) and i will save that 5 into relationship field and display Son

My way of thinking is creating a new table call relationship and hardcode each relationship 1 by 1 (all 11 of it) 

Then change the relationship field in Family into this : relationship = models.ForeignKey(Relationship)

But i have a feeling this is a very troublesome way to do it.

Can anyone help me on what way it will be easier ?

This is the model:

class Family(models.Model):
    userId = models.ForeignKey(MyUser, related_name='user_family')
    relationship = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    gender = models.CharField(max_length=6, blank=True, null=True)

Why do you have this feeling? Foreign key to another table sounds fine.

If you don't think that list will change much you could do it as a choice. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/models/fields/#choices

So foreign key is fine. Thank you. I thought that maybe theres a better way than using foreign key.
