Courses Plus Student 13,800 PointsWe want to have multiple types of Articles so we need to make our existing Article model abstract.
I'm not sure if I'm doing this right and kinda confused
from django.db import models
class Article(models.Model):
headline = models.CharField(max_length=255)
publish_date = models.DateTimeField()
content = models.TextField()
writer = models.ForeignKey('Writer')
def __str__(self):
return self.headline
class Writer(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
email = models.EmailField()
bio = models.TextField()
def __str__(self):
return self.name
def mailto(self):
return '{} <{}>'.format(self.name, self.email)
class Article(models.Model):
total_article = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
