Declaring Models

Models are declared by adding a .js model file in the models/doctype folder of the module/app.

Note: A model is called DocType in Frappe.js.

Fields:

Every model must have a set of fields (these become database columns). All fields must have:

• fieldname: Column name in database / property name.
• fieldtype: Data type (see details).
• label: Display label.
• required: Is mandatory.
• hidden: Is hidden.
• disabled: Is disabled.

Example:

module.exports = {
    "naming": "random",
    "name": "ToDo",
    "doctype": "DocType",
    "issingle": 0,
    "fields": [
        {
            "fieldname": "subject",
            "label": "Subject",
            "fieldtype": "Data",
            "reqd": 1
        },
        {
            "fieldname": "description",
            "label": "Description",
            "fieldtype": "Text"
        },
        {
            "fieldname": "status",
            "label": "Status",
            "fieldtype": "Select",
            "options": [
                "Open",
                "Closed"
            ],
            "default": "Open",
            "reqd": 1
        }
    ]
