Render Model in Django Admin
After creating the model we need to add data from to our model. We can add data in two ways. These are –
- Django Shell

We need to create a superuser for our web application that will access the admin panel. To create a superuser type the below command in the terminal –
python manage.py createsuperuser
Now go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin on the browser to access the admin interface panel.
Give the username and password created for the superuser and then the admin dashboard will open.

from django.contrib import adminfrom .models import Post# Register your models here.admin.site.register(Post) |
Refreshing your admin panel will let you see the model that we created.
