I suggest you use MongoEngine for Django project

please refer MongoEngine document here: http://docs.mongoengine.org/index.html

using Mongoengine you can simply create a model like this:

class YourModel(Document): # Define Model in using MongoEngine
    id = IntField(unique=True) # define Integer field
    percentage = FloatField(default=0.00) # define float field
    user = ReferenceField('User') # foreignkey

All the fields are the same as Django as an ex: IntField, FloatField And You can use relational field (foreign key) using ReferenceField.

For more information, please follow the documentation (http://docs.mongoengine.org/index.html)

You need to change your model and views according to mongoEngine and views. If you are using the Django rest framework then use **rest_framework_mongoengine* *. – jevin kaneriya Apr 10 '20 at 12:20
