Render Model in Django Admin Interface

Rendering a model in Django admin allows data to be managed easily through the admin interface. Django’s ORM provides a predefined admin interface to perform database operations like INSERT, SEARCH, SELECT and CREATE.

• To use the admin interface for a model, it must be registered in admin.py.
• Once registered, data for the model can be added, viewed, updated and deleted through the admin panel.

Example: Let's consider a project named 'geeksforgeeks' having an app named 'geeks'.

1. Define Your Model in models.py

from django.db import models
from django.db.models import Model
# Create your models here.

class GeeksModel(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length = 200)
    content = models.TextField(max_length = 200, null = True, blank = True)
    views = models.IntegerField()
    url = models.URLField(max_length = 200)
    image = models.ImageField()

2. Make Migrations and Migrate

After creating this model, we need to run two commands in order to create Database for the same.

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

3. Create a Superuser

While model instances can be created using the Django shell, the admin panel provides an easy interface for inserting, deleting, or modifying data.

• Before using the admin interface, a superuser must be created.
• A superuser is an admin account that can access and modify all aspects of a Django project.

To create a superuser, run the following command in the terminal:

Python createsuperuser

Enter your Name, Email, Password and confirm password. 

4. Login to Admin Panel

• Visit http://localhost:8000/admin/ in your browser.
• Log in using the superuser credentials created earlier.

5. Register Your Model in admin.py

In geeks/admin.py:

from django.contrib import admin

# Register your models here.
from .models import GeeksModel
admin.site.register(GeeksModel)

6. Check admin interface.

Visit: http://localhost:8000/admin/ 

7. Add Data via Admin Panel

Click on your model name (e.g., Geeks Models) in the admin panel.

• Tap Add to create a new entry.
• Fill in the required fields with your data.
• Click Save

The GeeksModel has now been rendered in the admin interface.

You can similarly register and manage any number of models in the Django Admin Panel.
