Model class reference

This document covers features of the Model class.

Model

class data_migrator.models.base.Model(**kwargs)

Model is foundation for every transformation

Each non-abstract Model class must have a Manager instance added to it. Data-migrator ensures that in your model class you have at least a default SimpleManager specified. If you don’t add your own Manager, Django will add an attribute objects containing default SimpleManager instance. If you add your own Manager instance attribute, the default one does not appear.
