How do I define the __str__ method for a foreignkey field in Django?

Question

How do I define the str method for a foreignkey field in Django? The code below does not work,

class A(models.Model):
    name = models.ForeignKey('B')

def __str__(self):
    return self.name

Answer 1

If your model B has a name field, you could:

def __str__(self):
    return self.name.name

Or you could try define the __str__ method in B model.
