Can Django apps have no models at all? – Overplay

Absolutely. If you have no data to store or display in a database, such as if you just wanted to serve static content like images and css, you could easily do this with no models. If you have a homepage and apps, you could host them together with django, the homepage "app" possibly having no models. – Idoux

Answer 1

Yes, app1 and app2 can share the same model. You need to import it wherever you want to use it.

Lets say your project structure is like below having 2 apps app1 and app2.

my_project/
    manage.py
    my_project/
        __init__.py
        settings.py
        urls.py
        wsgi.py  
    app1/
        __init__.py
        admin.py
        migrations/
            __init__.py
        models.py
        tests.py
        views.py
    app2/
        __init__.py
        admin.py
        migrations/
            __init__.py
        models.py
        tests.py
        views.py

Then to use the models defined in app1/models.py in app2, you just need to do:

from app1.models import MyModel # import the model

Just import the model from the app that defines it to the app that is using it.
