How to generate Django models dynamically to mutate user data

Hello folks, I’m a Community Manager of Baserow. We created an article describing how we dynamically generate Django models and use the native migration library to support user-created database tables. If you work with Django ORM, then you might be interested in checking it out: How Baserow lets users generate Django models on the fly // Baserow.

Thanks for sharing the article! Dynamic model generation is a useful feature for many web applications, especially those that allow users to customize their data structures. By generating models dynamically, developers can give users more control over the data they store and manipulate.

One potential use case for dynamic model generation is in creating form-building tools, where users can create custom forms and have the data submitted to a database. By generating models dynamically, the form-builder can create tables in the database to store the form data, without requiring the developer to manually create a new model for each form.

Another use case is in creating custom dashboards, where users can select and display specific data points from a larger data set. By dynamically generating models, the dashboard can create new tables in the database to store the selected data points, without requiring the developer to create a new model for each dashboard.

Overall, dynamic model generation can be a powerful tool for creating flexible, user-driven applications. Thanks for sharing your article on how Baserow uses this feature!
