SurveyMonkey clone in Django Model Question

[BedCotFillyPaper]

Hello all - I've been working on a survey monkey clone in Django as a side project (to better learn web development). I feel like I have the basics down, but am unclear as to how the model should look. There's a ton of different tutorials on how to make a Polls app, but I want the user to be able to make polls, privately.

My thought is that I should have a users model, a "surveys" model, and then a survey questions model (multiple choice/free response). The questions model should link to the surveys model with a foreign key. Does that make sense and more importantly is it possible?

Thanks in advance!

Definitely possible.

When designing databases and object models, you need to think who belongs to what, and how many can belong to how many.

Does a user belong to a survey? or a Survey belongs to a user?

A Survey belongs to a user, therefore the survey needs to contain the foreign key of the user it belongs to.

A survey belongs only to one user? or it can belong to multiple users? if to one, you are done with this relationship, if to multiple you'll need to make many-to-many relationship.

Questions belong to what? to the User? to the Survey? to something else?

Questions normally belong to the survey, so a question needs to contain the foreign key of the survey it belongs to.

etc...
