django-jables 1.0

A better base model for Django with sensible defaults.

Jean-Baptiste, aka Jables

This package contains a single useful base model I was copying over and over onto every new project. It was time to package it up and reuse it.

This is a basic model from which all the project's model should inherit. It is defined as "abstract".

It defines a couple of basic fields every model should have:

• an ID as CharField/NanoID: this avoids that content could be "discovered" if using auto increment and instead is a better UUID

• created_at: a datetime field with "auto_now_add", so we track when the model was created.

• updated_at: a datetime field with "auto_now", so we track when the model was last updated.

The name comes from Django Reinhart father, Jean-Baptiste (or Jables, for short).

How to use it

1. Install this package as any other requirement to your project.
2. Add jables to your INSTALLED_APPS.
3. When creating models, inherit from JBModel:

from jables.models import JBModel

class MyModel(JBModel):
    ...
