Django on_delete=models.cascade (Examples)
"on_delete=models.cascade" meaning
is the behaviour to adopt when the referenced object is deleted. It is not specific to django, this is an SQL standard.
Example 1
class Track(models.Model):
album = models.ForeignKey(Album, related_name='tracks')
album = models.ForeignKey(Album, related_name='tracks', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
order = models.IntegerField()
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
duration = models.IntegerField()
Example 2
class Group(models.Model):
# Table Column Fields
name = models.CharField(max_length=128)
group_country = models.ForeignKey(Country, models.CASCADE)
members = models.ManyToManyField(Person, related_name='groups', through='Membership')
class Meta:
ordering = ('name',)
def __str__(self):
return self.name
Example 3
class Friendship(models.Model):
# Table Column Fields
from_friend_country = models.ForeignKey(Country, models.CASCADE, related_name="from_friend_country")
from_friend_id = models.IntegerField()
to_friend_country_id = models.IntegerField()
to_friend_id = models.IntegerField()
# Relation Fields
from_friend = models.ForeignObject(
Person,
on_delete=models.CASCADE,
from_fields=['from_friend_country', 'from_friend_id'],
to_fields=['person_country_id', 'id'],
related_name='from_friend',
)
to_friend_country = models.ForeignObject(
Country,
from_fields=['to_friend_country_id'],
to_fields=['id'],
related_name='to_friend_country',
on_delete=models.CASCADE,
)
to_friend = models.ForeignObject(
Person,
from_fields=['to_friend_country_id', 'to_friend_id'],
to_fields=['person_country_id', 'id'],
related_name='to_friend',
on_delete=models.CASCADE,
)
