Django: Get list of model fields?

by

Django versions 1.8 and later:

You should use get_fields():

[f.name for f in MyModel._meta.get_fields()]

The get_all_field_names() method is deprecated starting from Django
1.8 and will be removed in 1.10.

The documentation page linked above provides a fully backwards-compatible implementation of get_all_field_names(), but for most purposes the previous example should work just fine.

Django versions before 1.8:

model._meta.get_all_field_names()

That should do the trick.

That requires an actual model instance. If all you have is a subclass of django.db.models.Model, then you should call myproject.myapp.models.MyModel._meta.get_all_field_names()
