Django models with variable number of fields

Question

I\'m working on a new project and I\'d like to create a django model that will have a variable number of EmailFields depending on another variable. What I\'m tr

Answer 1

Because Django's model fields are directly linked to fields in a table in the database, a variable number of fields isn't possible. Instead, have another table with a foreign key:

class House(models.Model):
    # normal house fields go here

class EmailAddress(models.Model):
    email = models.EmailField()
    house = models.ForeignKey(House, related_name='email_addresses')

Now you can access all the emails related to a house by using:

house = House.objects.get(pk=1)
house.email_addresses.all()

The ForeignKey documentation might be useful.

Answer 2

No. Put the emails in a separate model and link them back to House with a ForeignKey.
