[Fixed]-Adding new Wagtail CMS Snippets

by

1👍

✅

Snippets are common django models, which are registered using a decorator function. Therefore they live in models.py.

from django.db import models
from wagtail.wagtailsnippets.models import register_snippet

@register_snippet
class Foobar(models.Model):
    foo = models.CharField(max_length=3)

If your app grows you might consider using a package instead of a module. Create a folder called models and copy the contents of models.py into a file called __init__.py.
Afterwards create separate modules. E.g. snippets.py inside of this new folder and import them inside of __init__.py

Sample code:

models/__init__.py:

from .snippets import *

models/snippets.py:

from django.db import models
from wagtail.wagtailsnippets.models import register_snippet

@register_snippet
class Foobar(models.Model):
    foo = models.CharField(max_length=3)
