I am in the process of upgrading from
Django 1.6 to 1.7.
I have three fixtures. I am trying to figure
out how I should load them.
One fixture is `initial_data.json`, and I know
that starting with Django 1.7 this special
fixture no longer gets automatically loaded
as it did when we used to run `syncdb` (i.e.,
prior to deprecation in Django 1.7).
So I know all three fixtures should be loaded
the same way as each other, whatever way that
may be.
My main question is:
Should I keep using `loaddata`, as in:
python manage.py loaddata <fixture>.json
Reading the documentation I get the sense
(though I am not sure) that now the preferred
approach to load fixtures is to create a
migration to perform the loading. But I
don't see an example of how to do this
process from beginning to end. It looks
like the process starts with creating an
empty migration, then manually editing the
migration file to define a function like:
def load_data(apps, schema_editor):
But I don't know how to write this function
(`load_data`), and I can't find an example.
