How can I model the "popularity" concept in code?

I am building a tags Django application to display a feed of tags ranked by "popularity."

Currently, my Tag model in models.py looks like this:

class Tag(models.Model):
    tag = models.CharField(max_length=64, unique=True)
    slug = models.SlugField(max_length=64, unique=True)

Ultimately, I would like to query tags in my index view in views.py kind of as follows:

def index(request):
    context = {"tags": Tag.objects.order_by("popularity")}
    return render(request, "tags/index.html", context)

How can I model the "popularity" concept in code?

Should I add a popularity field to the Tag model and basically count how many times a tag has been used, or is there a better, slicker way to achieve the same result?

Solution

  • django-taggit

    You can implement django-taggit or read the docs then you will get an idea how tag can be implemented in django.

    Happy Coding :)
