Django form field display name - django

Question

I m trying to make a form on the basis of a model. Trouble is that when i create a category via django shell, let's say "Wedding" category, having id=1 and name = "weddings", when i display it in a dropdown(in html form) it shows as Categories object (1) and i would like it to be shown by the name, which is weddings.
As in the documentation i understand that i can attach labels when in the Meta form class but i don't fully understand how i can display dynamically all the category names instead of Categories object 1,2,3,4.
Models.py
class categories(model.Model):
id = models.AutoField(primary_key =True)
name = models.Charfield(max_length = 50)
class Event(models.Model):
id = models.AutoField(primary_key =True)
category = models.ForeignKey(Categories,on_delete=models.SET_NULL,null = True)
owner = models.Charfield(max_length = 50)
Forms.py
class EventForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Event
fields = ['category','person','owner']
So the actual result when rendering the form is :
Category:(dropdown) - Categories object (1)
Desired result:
Category:(dropdown) - weddings

Answer 1

class categories(model.Model):
id = models.AutoField(primary_key =True)
name = models.Charfield(max_length = 50)
def __str__(self):
return self.name
class Event(models.Model):
id = models.AutoField(primary_key =True)
category = models.ForeignKey(Categories,on_delete=models.SET_NULL,null = True)
owner = models.Charfield(max_length = 50)
def __str__(self):
return self.owner
just add this little magic functions to your model classes.
