custom save django

  1. Overriding the save() method: In Django, you can override the save() method of a model to perform additional operations when saving an object.

  2. Get the instance: The first step is to retrieve the instance of the model.

  3. Perform operations: Perform any additional operations or validations before saving the object.

  4. Call the parent class' save() method: After performing the custom operations, call the save() method of the parent class to save the object to the database.

  5. Example:

from django.db import models

class YourModel(models.Model):
    # your fields here

    def save(self, args, *kwargs):
        # perform any custom operations here
        super(YourModel, self).save(args, *kwargs)
