URLField - Django Models - GeeksforGeeks

Last Updated : 14 Jul, 2025

URLField is a

, for a URL. It is generally used for storing webpage links or particularly called as URLs. It is validated by

. To store larger text TextField is used. The default form widget for this field is

.

field_name = models.URLField(max_length=200, **options)

URLField.max_length

The maximum length (in characters) of the field. The

is enforced at the database level and in Django’s validation using

. If not specified, a default of 200 is used.

Illustration of URLField using an Example. Consider a project named

having an app named

.

Refer to the following articles to check how to create a project and an app in Django.

• How to Create a Basic Project using MVT in Django?
• How to Create an App in Django ?

Enter the following code into

file of

app.

from django.db import models
from django.db.models import Model
# Create your models here.

class GeeksModel(Model):
    geeks_field = models.URLField(max_length = 200)

Add the geeks app to

# Application definition

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'geeks',
]

Now when we run

command from the terminal,

Python manage.py makemigrations

A new folder named migrations would be created in

directory with a file named

# Generated by Django 2.2.5 on 2019-09-25 06:00

from django.db import migrations, models

class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    initial = True

    dependencies = [
    ]

    operations = [
        migrations.CreateModel(
            name ='GeeksModel',
            fields =[
                ('id', 
                  models.AutoField(
                  auto_created = True,
                  primary_key = True,
                  serialize = False, 
                  verbose_name ='ID'
                )),
                ('geeks_field', 
                  models.URLField(
                  max_length = 200,
                )),
            ],
        ),
    ]

Now run,

Python manage.py migrate

Thus, an

is created when you run migrations on the project. It is a field to store URLs validated by

.

URLField is used for storing URLs in the database. One can store any kind of URL, either internal or external link. URLField should be given an argument

for specifying the maximum length of string it is required to store. In the production server, after the Django application is deployed, space is very limited. So it is always optimal to use max_length according to the requirement of the field. Let us create an instance of the URLField we created and check if it is working.

# importing the model
# from geeks app
from geeks.models import GeeksModel

# creating a instance of 
# GeeksModel
geek_object = GeeksModel.objects.create(geeks_field ="https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/ / charfield-django-models/")
geek_object.save()

Now let's check it in admin server. We have created an instance of GeeksModel.

Field Options are the arguments given to each field for applying some constraint or imparting a particular characteristic to a particular Field. For example, adding an argument

to URLField will enable it to store empty values for that table in relational database. Here are the field options and attributes that an URLField can use.
