In Django, you can provide help text for a model field using the help_text
argument when defining the field. Here's how you can create a Django model with a SlugField
and a help_text
option:
pythonfrom django.db import models
from django.utils.text import slugify
class YourModel(models.Model):
# Your other fields
title = models.CharField(max_length=100, help_text="Enter a title.")
# Slug field with help text
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=150, unique=True, help_text="Auto-generated from the title.")
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
# Automatically generate slug from the title if not provided
if not self.slug:
self.slug = slugify(self.title)
super().save(*args, **kwargs)
def __str__(self):
return self.title
In this example:
YourModel
with a title
field of type CharField
and a slug
field of type SlugField
.title
field, we provide help text using the help_text
argument. This text will be displayed alongside the field in forms and admin interfaces to provide guidance to users.slug
field, we provide help text indicating that it is auto-generated from the title.save()
method is overridden to automatically generate a slug from the title using Django's slugify()
function if a slug is not provided.By providing help_text
for the SlugField
, you can inform users about how the slug is generated or any other relevant information regarding its usage.
