[DJ08] Model does not define __str__ method

It is recommended to define an __str__
method within your models. The __str__
method is used whenever str(model_object)
is called. Django calls str(model_object)
in multiple places, one of those being the Django Admin, if you haven't set up your __str__
method the Django Admin will show something like: [object Object]
as the value.
from django.db import models
class Post(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=150)
from django.db import models
class Post(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=150)
def __str__(self):
return f'{self.title}'
