get ContentType with django get_model

The "get_model" function in Django allows you to retrieve a model class based on its app label and model name. To get the ContentType of a model using "get_model", you can follow these steps:

  1. Import the necessary modules:
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
from django.apps import apps
  1. Use "get_model" to retrieve the model class:
model_class = apps.get_model(app_label='your_app_label', model_name='your_model_name')

Replace 'your_app_label' with the actual app label of your model and 'your_model_name' with the actual model name.

  1. Get the ContentType object:
content_type = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(model_class)

The "get_for_model" method of the ContentType manager returns the ContentType object for the specified model class.

  1. Access the properties of the ContentType object:
content_type_id = content_type.id
content_type_name = content_type.name
content_type_app_label = content_type.app_label

You can access various properties of the ContentType object, such as its ID, name, and app label, by using dot notation.

That's it! You have successfully obtained the ContentType of a model using "get_model". You can use the ContentType object for various purposes, such as retrieving related objects or performing dynamic queries based on the model.
