The default test runner creates the test database automatically yes, but you can create Django model objects without touching the database, just use the class like a constructor and don't save it: Person(name="Foo", age=30)
- globular-toast 2y agoOK, now try that with my ridiculously simple TodoList example, e.g. `TodoList(items=["item", "item2"])`. You can't do it! Nor can you construct an empty list then add items to it etc.
- Izkata 2y agoThis is how ArrayField works in the postgres-specific fields: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/contrib/postgres/fields/#arrayfield https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/contrib/postgres/f... Or falling back to a more generic JsonField elsewhere: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/models/fields/#jsonfield https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/models/fields/#jso...
- globular-toast 2y agoWell yeah, but you could have just used a document store at that point. If you start using JSON field you open up the problems with document databases (namely you can't really do many to many). In any case, postgres being awesome is something you get without any ORM!
