Django Schema History

Django Schema History is a package that tracks schema changes in Django models and stores the history in the database. It helps developers monitor changes such as adding, modifying, or removing fields.

Features

• Tracks model schema changes automatically.
• Records field additions, modifications, and deletions.
• Stores historical data in a structured format.
• Integrates seamlessly with Django's migration system.

Installation

You can install Django Schema History using pip:

pip install django-schema-history

Configuration

1. Add schema_history to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'schema_history',
]

2. Run migrations:

python manage.py migrate schema_history

Usage

Running Schema Change Tracking

To track schema changes, run the following command:

python manage.py track_schema_changes

This will log and save schema changes into the SchemaChange model.

Model Structure

The package stores schema changes in the SchemaChange model:

class SchemaChange(models.Model):
    action_type = models.CharField(max_length=50)  # e.g., added_field, removed_field
    model_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    field_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)

    timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
