I want to create a fixture file in my Django project.
How can I do this?

A fixture is a collection of data that Django knows how to import into a database. The most straightforward way of creating a fixture if you've already got some data is to use the manage.py dumpdata command.
By default, Django only loads fixtures into the default database. Use before_scenario to load the fixtures in all of the databases you have configured if your tests rely on the fixtures being loaded in all of them. You can read more about it in the Multiple database docs.
You need to create an empty migration file and Do your stuff in operations block, as explained in docs. As well as changing the database schema, you can also use migrations to change the data in the database itself, in conjunction with the schema if you want.
Read “Providing initial data for models”.
manage.py dumpdata to dump the data into a JSON fixture file. Read "django-admin.py and manage.py".
