from django import formsIn the same form.py module, import the Stock model from model.py

class StockCreateForm(forms.ModelForm):
   class Meta:
     model = Stock
     fields = ['category', 'item_name', 'quantity']

4. In admin.py, import the StockCreateForm created in step 3 above
from .forms import StockCreateForm

Next, create a class, name it StockCreateAdmi, with list_display, form, list_filter, and search_field as shown below.

class StockCreateAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
   list_display = ['category', 'item_name', 'quantity']
   form = StockCreateForm
   list_filter = ['category']

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘models’
My Code in admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from .forms import StockCreateForm

from .models import Stock

# list_filter = [‘category’]
# search_fields = [‘category’, ‘item_name’]

admin.site.register(Stock, StockCreateAdmin)

my code in models.py
from django.db import models

# Create your models here.
class Stock(models.Model):

category = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True)

  your admin file should be formated in this order:
  
  from django.contrib import admin
  from .forms import StockCreateForm
  
  from .models import Stock
  
  class StockCreateAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
  list_display = [‘category’, ‘item_name’, ‘quantity’]
  form = StockCreateForm
  list_filter = [‘category’]
  search_fields = [‘category’, ‘item_name’]
  
  admin.site.register(Stock, StockCreateAdmin)
