Django apps custom folder

I am using Django 1.10, and I created a folder called apps. I want to put all my apps inside this directory, but when I try to import appA.models inside appB.models I get this error.

RuntimeError: Model class appA.models.model doesn't declare an explicit app_label and isn't in an application in INSTALLED_APPS.

Both apps are declared in installed apps like this apps.appA. All folders have the init file.

Solution

  • The Solution was to create a folder named applications with an __init__.py file inside. Each app must have the file apps.py with this content

    from __future__ import unicode_literals
    
from django.apps import AppConfig
    
    
class AppnameConfig(AppConfig):
    name = 'appname'

    Also in the in settings.py INSTALLED_APPS, call the applications with this format applications.appname.
