Flush just an app not the whole project

Question

python manage.py flush removes data from the entire project. I would like to be able to do python manage.py flush agivenapp How can I do this?

Answer 1

You can do this with the migrate command which takes two positional arguments:

Updates database schema. Manages both apps with migrations and those without.

positional arguments:

app_label
App label of an application to synchronize the state.
migration_name
Database state will be brought to the state after that migration. Use the name "zero" to unapply all migrations.

So running a migrate zero followed by a migrate will clear only the data for the given app.

$ python manage.py migrate ${APPNAME} zero
$ python manage.py migrate ${APPNAME}
