How to get the value of a Django Model Field object

Question

I got a model field object using field_object = MyModel._meta.get_field(field_name). How can I get the value (content) of the field object?

Answer 1

Assuming you have a model as,

class SampleModel(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=120)

Then you will get the value of name field of model instance by,

sample_instance = SampleModel.objects.get(id=1)
value_of_name = sample_instance.name
