Model _meta API

Model _meta API

class Options [source]

The model _meta API is at the core of the Django ORM. It enables other parts of the system such as lookups, queries, forms, and the admin to understand the capabilities of each model. The API is accessible through the _meta attribute of each model class, which is an instance of an django.db.models.options.Options object.

Methods that it provides can be used to:

• Retrieve all field instances of a model
• Retrieve a single field instance of a model by name
