Suppose I have the following django model:
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.gis.db import models
class Location(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
point = models.PointField()
And I want to load the PointField from a fixture. What is the format of the point field for a json fixture?
[
{
"model": "myapp.Location",
"pk": 1,
"fields": {
"name": "Location Number 1",
"point": "???",
}
}
]
It appears to use the Well-known text (WKT) format
For example, the following worked with python manage.py loaddata myfixture.json:
[
{
"model": "myapp.Location",
"pk": 1,
"fields": {
"name": "Location Number 1",
"point": "POINT (30 10)",
}
}
]
This successfully imported into postgresql database column with the type point geometry(Point,4326).
If you were using another type such as a PolygonField, then presumably the format would be for example:
POLYGON ((30 10, 40 40, 20 40, 10 20, 30 10))
