Creating Objects

Inserting a new row by instantiating a model, setting attributes, and calling save(), plus the shorthand objects.create().

So far, all we’ve been doing is querying data. Now, lets see how we can insert objects into the database. We need to create a collection object

from django.shortcuts import render
from store.models import Collection


def say_hello(request):
    collection = Collection() # this is the collection object
    collection.title = "Video Games"
    collection.featured_product = Product(pk=1) # this does the same thing as the ff line
    # collection.featured_product_id = 1 # this does the same thing as the above line
    collection.save() #this will save to the db




    # instead of doing all the above lines, we can simply do this below
    collection = Collection.objects.create(title='Video Games', featured_product_id=1)
    pass
