how to print field type of a field in django models

Question

I have made a Django project and designed a model with a field name in it what I write is :

name = models.CharField(max_length = 250)

Is there a way to print CharField on the screen, using command like

d = name.field()

and it stores a String in variable d as CharField. If I ask it as attendance.field, I want it to show BooleanField as output. Like :

from django.db import models as data_type
class UserAttendance(data_type.Model):
    user=data_type.ForeignKey(UserList,on_delete=data_type.CASCADE)
    date=data_type.DateField()
    attendance=data_type.BooleanField(default=False)

I searched but did not found anything that allowed to print CharField on screen. Can anyone suggest me how to do this ?

I just want it to return DataField or BooleanField for date and attendance respectively — Dev Chahal

You can use get_internal_type() as suggested in the comment by @ruddra sir

UserAttendance._meta.get_field('attendance').get_internal_type()
