How can I add a csv file into Django models

I have a csv file which has contents like the following:

stores.csv

Site, Score, Rank
roolee.com,100,125225
piperandscoot.com,29.3,222166
calledtosurf.com,23.8,361542
cladandcloth.com,17.9,208670
neeseesdresses.com,9.6,251016
...

Here's my model.

models.py

class SimilarStore(models.Model):
    store = models.ForeignKey(Store)
    csv = FileField()

    domain = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True)
    score = models.IntegerField(blank=True)
    rank = models.IntegerField(blank=True)

So, I wanna upload the stores.csv file into csv field so that each column data goes into each domain, score, and rank.

I found out some resources making python file to parse data and run it through a command like `python parse.py'. However, I need it to be done by uploading the csv file in Django admin. Can anyone explain how I can do that?

Just find the table name in your Database also find the corresponding column names with the table and use the to_sql command in pandas

You can read the csv file through pandas and then convert it to your desired object ny using pandas funtion 'infer_objects()'. I hope the code below helps you in this regard,

import pandas as pd
SimilarStore_df = pd.read_csv('./store.csv') #importing csv file as pandas DataFrame
SimilarStore_df.columns = ['Domain', 'Score','Rank']

SimilarStore=SimilarStore_df.infer_objects() #converting DataFrame to object

print(SimilarStore)
print(SimilarStore.columns)

Output:

               Domain  Score    Rank
0          roolee.com  100.0  125225
1   piperandscoot.com   29.3  222166
2    calledtosurf.com   23.8  361542
3    cladandcloth.com   17.9  208670
4  neeseesdresses.com    9.6  251016
Index(['Domain', 'Score', 'Rank'], dtype='object')
