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",

		},
