The ObjectId FieldPermalink

For every document inserted into a collection MongoDB internally creates an ObjectID field with the name _id. Reference this field from within the Model:

class Entry(models.Model):
    _id = models.ObjectIdField()
    blog = models.EmbeddedField(
        model_container=Blog,
    )

By default the ObjectIdField internally sets primary_key as True. This means the implicitly created id AUTOINCREMENT field will not be created. The Field inherits from the AutoField. An ObjectID will be automatically generated by MongoDB for every document inserted.

Consider using the ObjectIdField in your models if you want to avoid calling Django migrations every time you create a new model.

The List fieldPermalink

Note: To be depreciated soon and replaced with a JSONField

ArrayField and ArrayReferenceField require all Models in the list to be of the same type. MongoDB allows the saving of arbitrary data inside it is embedded array. The ListField is useful in such cases. The list field cannot be represented in Django Admin though and can only be used in the python script.
