I am making a django app to browse available products at different markets. I am getting data for my models from a JSON url feed, I am not sure on the best approach to turn this data into models as the feed for a single market can contain upwards of 50k items.
Models - feel free to suggest any improvements on these
# Details of a sellable products
class Product(models.Model):
item = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True, auto_created=False)
name = models.CharField(max_length=40)
# Market where products can be bought, some markets will cater to multiple suburbs.
class Market(models.Model):
id = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True, auto_created=True)
name = models.CharField(max_length=40)
# Nearby suburbs can share the one market
class Suburb(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
market = models.ForeignKey(Market, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True)
# Actual product for sale
class ProductForSale(models.Model):
sale = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
product = models.ForeignKey(Product, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True)
cost = models.IntegerField(default=1)
owner = models.CharField(max_length=30)
quantity = models.IntegerField(default=1)
market = models.ForeignKey(Market,on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True )
Feed of markets products example
"market_products": [
{
"id":11654,
"item":123,
"owner":"Bob",
"suburb":"Springvale",
"cost":3,
"quantity":1,
},
{
"id":11655,
"item":123,
"owner":"Sarah",
"suburb":"Sunnyville",
"cost":5,
"quantity":2,
},
This is how I am trying to populate my ProductForSale models - I don't know if this is the correct approach for the Product FK, or how to link the suburb to its Market FK
markets = Market.objects.all()
for market in markets:
url = "jsonurl"
response = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
data = json.loads(response.read())
for entry in data['market_products']:
new_product_sale = ProductForSale.objects.create(
product = Product.objects.get(item=entry['item']),
cost = entry['cost'],
owner = entry['owner'],
quantity = entry['quantity']
)
new_product_sale.save()
Is there a point where I should create a seperate model for each markets products, or is it fine to house them all in the one model?
