Question

I am using django models to create my database .

here is my User Class

class User(models.Model):
    user_name = models.CharField(max_length=100,null = False)   
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    middle_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    tags = here what to do ? 

now i am planning to add tags for User so that user can select the tags (it can be more then one also )
Here is my Tags Class

Class Tags(models.Model)

   tag = models.CharField()

my question is which relation should i use for the reference Tags from User table (Foreign key or Manytomany )

Note: In future i will search the users based on tags so please suggest me the better way to do this

Answer 1

Use a ManytoMany relationship: different users may use the same tags and a single User will have several tags:

tags= models.ManyToManyField(Tags, verbose_name="list of tags")

Anyway, you don’t have to implement a Model for the User, there is a User model that comes with django. See the docs:
