    ...

Out[3]: {'id': 1, 'name': 'first record', ...}

SlugModel

Model with a slug field. Useful to use in urls or nominal references
TimestampedModel

Model with the DateTime, created_at and updated_at fields. Useful to control when any changes were made.

With SignalModel it allows you to handle or execute an event according to Django’s Signals.

Note: This will be made before you save your model

from django_models.models import SignalsModel
...

class YourModel(SignalsModel)
