django-models

What problem does it solve?

Web apps often crowd business rules into views; this skill promotes fat models and thin views by moving domain logic into models and managers for better testability and maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Encapsulate business logic in model methods and managers, including state transitions and validation.
• Design models around domain concepts (choices, indexes, str, get_absolute_url) and reuse abstract base models for shared fields.
• Leverage custom QuerySets and managers for reusable, chainable queries with proper optimization (select_related, prefetch_related).

Quick Start

Start by moving core business rules into model methods (and managers), then refactor views to call those methods and keep views thin.
