Creating our first model

Now, we will create a simple Toy model in Django, which we will use to represent and persist toys. Open the toys/models.py file. The following lines show the initial code for this file with just one import statement and a comment that indicates we should create the models:

from django.db import models 
 
 
class Toy(models.Model): 
    created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
