Django load data to model

Question

So usually in django you have an app let's say common you create and inside it can have a model lets say Site and you can dumpdata from the model like so python manage.py dumpdata common.site > sites.json and it works but this python manage.py loaddata common.site < sites.json doesn't work.

I'm curious if this is possible or not, if you know how to please share an example.

Yes you can do it, There is an example here. If you got any error, please show it. — kamilyrb

Or, you can use fixtures, although they load the data every time the project reloads instead of only when you want. — Shinra tensei

To load data to the table you just need to use:

python manage.py loaddata <filename>

python manage.py loaddata sites.json

Refer Django docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/django-admin/#loaddata

If the JSON is created using dumpdata the file already has the table name and app name no need to specify the app/model name along with the loaddata command.
