In Django, I can do this:
test = Test.objects.get(id=1) test.name I want to be able to access the properties using dynamically generated strings, like this:
test['name'] or, any other syntax using a string. I tried
test._meta.get_field_by_name('name') but this returns the field itself and not the value.
Any ideas?

str function in a django model returns a string that is exactly rendered as the display name of instances for that model.
TextField is a large text field for large-sized text. TextField is generally used for storing paragraphs and all other text data. The default form widget for this field is TextArea.
Mine is simpler to implement, and you can pass a list, dict, or anything that can be converted into json. In Django 1.10 and above, there's a new ArrayField field you can use.
To answer your question, with the new migration introduced in Django 1.7, in order to add a new field to a model you can simply add that field to your model and initialize migrations with ./manage.py makemigrations and then run ./manage.py migrate and the new field will be added to your DB.
You can use python's built in getattr() function:
getattr(test, 'name') If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
