You can "star" SQLModel in GitHub (clicking the star button at the top right): https://github.com/fastapi/sqlmodel. ⭐️

By adding a star, other users will be able to find it more easily and see that it has been already useful for others.

You can "watch" SQLModel in GitHub (clicking the "watch" button at the top right): https://github.com/fastapi/sqlmodel. 👀

There you can select "Releases only".

By doing it, you will receive notifications (in your email) whenever there's a new release (a new version) of SQLModel with bug fixes and new features.

Suggest a new feature.

Join the Chat¶

Join the 👥 FastAPI and Friends Discord chat server 👥 and hang out with others in the community. There's a #sqlmodel channel.

Tip

For questions, ask them in GitHub Discussions, there's a much better chance you will receive help there.

Use the chat only for other general conversations.

Don't use the Chat for Questions¶

Keep in mind that as chats allow more "free conversation", it's easy to ask questions that are too general and more difficult to answer, so, you might not receive answers.

In GitHub, the template will guide you to write the right question so that you can more easily get a good answer, or even solve the problem yourself even before asking.

Conversations in the chat systems are also not as easily searchable as in GitHub, they get lost.
