00:00In this video, I'll show how to create a Django model and store data within it.

00:10My Django model is defined in the Posts app.

00:16I use the Models.py file within the app to store the models' fields.

00:31And this is my Django model for social posts.

00:40This model extends the BaseModel class, which provides the core functionality needed to

00:52define database models.

00:57The ID field is an auto-incrementing primary key field, which is automatically included.

01:09This field is a foreign key linking to the custom user model.

01:21This means if this user is deleted, all its posts will be deleted too, and this user will

01:34be used as the owner of the post.

01:39This field is used to store the post text and this the post image.

01:49Next, this field will contain the current date and time when the post is created.

02:02This will contain the table name in the database, and this will return a piece of the post text

02:18in the admin interface to represent the post.

02:25To create the database table for this model, I need to use this li command.

02:43And this.

02:49My table is already created.

02:54To create a post in my view file, I will call the posts model and will set the post data.

03:18Finally, I will save.

03:22Let's see a real example.

03:26Now, I will create a post that should be saved in the database table.

03:52And the post was created as expected.
