Django mange.py migrate --> No Migration folder and no tables created

Question

I recently started to experiment with python and Django at the same time. After playing with several little projects from GitHub and or youtube and tried do it from scratch now on my own.

My problem is, the command

python manage.py migrate

Only creates those 10 "standard" Django and "auth" tables in my local mysql db.

Attached you can find my project structure. The way I started was with " django-admin startproject Nico".

Then step after step've created models, views, forms and templates.

My best guess is, the migrate command does not find the models file. But I don't know where to specify that. At least that is a missing link. In my previous examples which were complete, I never had to declare that. Would that go in the right direction?

views.py

from django.views.generic.base import TemplateView

from ReProg.ReProg.models import Kunde
from ReProg.ReProg.forms import KundeForm

class HP(TemplateView):
    Model = Kunde
    Form = KundeForm
    #template_name = "TestViewHello.html"
    #template_name = "KundenAufnahme.html"
    template_name = "KundenAufnahme2.html"

forms.py

from django import forms
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseNotFound
from django.shortcuts import render
from crispy_forms.helper import FormHelper
from crispy_forms.layout import Submit


class KundeForm(forms.Form):
    #KID = forms.CharField(attrs={'disabled': True})
    KID = forms.CharField()
    first_name = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'ReProg'}))
    last_name = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Wilhelm'}))
    email = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': '123@Mail.com'}))
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(KundeForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.helper = FormHelper()
        self.helper.form_method = 'post'
        self.helper.add_input(Submit('submit', 'Submit'))

Models.py

from django.db import models
from django.forms import ModelForm
from datetime import date


###########Kunde
class Kunde(models.Model):
    KID = models.CharField(primary_key=True, max_length=20)
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    email = models.EmailField(max_length=100, blank=True)
def KID(key):
    num = Request.objects.all().count()
    return K + str(num)

class KundeMF(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Kunde
        fields = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'KID']

Answer 1

it worked with adding the

i forgot to mention that before migrating I executed "makemigrations". However it said "no changes detected" or something similar.

Now with the it works. I can see the table now in mysql. [enter image description here][1]

thx all [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/HaKFg.png

Answer 2

first make the following

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

if the problem did not solved make the following:

1- If the folder migrations did not found in the app directory create it.

2- If the folder found check the __init__.py file inside the folder. if this file did not found create new file with name __init__.py.

Answer 3

1. python manage.py makemigrations <app name>
2. python manage.py migrate <app name>
