How can i get all models in django 1.8

Question

I am using this code in my admin.py

from django.db.models import get_models, get_app

for model in get_models(get_app('myapp')):
    admin.site.register(model)

But i get warning that get_models is deprecated

How can i do that in django 1.8

Answer 1

This should work,

from django.apps import apps
apps.get_models()

The get_models method returns a list of all installed models. You can also pass three keyword arguments include_auto_created, include_deferred and include_swapped.

If you want to get the models for a specific app, you can do something like this.

from django.apps import apps
myapp = apps.get_app_config('myapp')
myapp.models

This will return an OrderedDict instance of the models for that app.
