from django.db import models

class Article(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    
    class Meta:
        ordering = ['-created_at']

article = Article.objects.create(title="Django Tips")
print(type(article.created_at))

  1. <class 'datetime.datetime'>

  2. <class 'str'>

  3. <class 'int'>

  4. <class 'NoneType'>

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer

<class 'datetime.datetime'>

Explanation

auto_now_add=True automatically sets the field to current datetime when the object is created. The field type is DateTimeField, which returns a datetime object. The print statement outputs the type as <class 'datetime.datetime'>.
