I wanted to output the
list_model_info
for some of our models (we have hundreds), but currently can a) either output all of them or b) call the command once per--model
. I found that non-intuitive and would much prefer to be able to specify the desired models in a single command.This PR changes
list_model_info --model app.Model
tolist_model_info --models app1.Model1,app2.Model2,app3.Model3
.Since Django's management commands use argparse with a forgiving CLI option config, the old
--model
option will still work the exact same way as before (as it will match to the new --models), thus the change is backwards compatible.Maybe it's worth thinking about something like this? The API could be different (e.g. support using
--model
more than once, orhandle multiple arguments, or a separate option).
