DateTimeField is a frequently-used attribute on Model classes when defining date- and time-based database columns with the Django ORM.
The Django project has great documentation for DateTimeField and all of the other column fields.
Note that DateTimeField
is defined within the
django.db.models.fields
module but is typically referenced from
django.db.models
rather than including the fields
module reference.
