[Django]-Editing models and extending database structure in Saleor

The django way to create new models, (and Saleor´s backend is django based) is:

1. You should create a new app on your store backend (the django part of saleor) with:
   

   $ python manage.py startapp artist

2. Create your Artist model, with all the fields you want such as email, etc… in the file: artist/models.py.
3. Modify the Product model in the file product/models.py by importing the Artist models and adding a ForeignKey (for example) relationship to it.
4. Register the new artist app in your settings.py‘s “INSTALLED_APPS”.
5. Run python manage.py makemigrations… (Check they include your changes to models)
6. Run python manage.py migrate.

That should be it. ‘less I`m forgeting something, in which case, please post back when you have moved forward with this.

Notes:

• You may want to back up your DB first.
• Also when applying these migrations, django will ask you for a placeholder value for products which where in your DB before Product had an Artist field.
