Model not defined

I defined a Question model with a description and a foreign key.

class Question(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(
        User,
        verbose_name="User",
        default=None
    )

    description = models.CharField(
        max_length=60,
        #verbose_name=_("Description"),
    )

After that, I ran the migrations.

Then, in views.py I created a method which accesses objects of this model:

def own_questions(request):
    questions = Question.objects()
    return JsonResponse(questions)

The problem is that when I access the URL /questions corresponding to this method, I get:

NameError at /questions/
global name 'Question' is not defined

Why is this happening?

You need to import Questions in your views.py:

from app.models import Question

Also, questions = Question.objects only give you the queryset manager and you can't call that, instead for all questions, you need:

questions = Question.objects.all()

Edit:

I shouldn't assume what you are trying to query from model Question, so here's django doc about how to write ORM for queries.

Probably because you haven't imported

from .models import Question

into your views.py
