admin.py

from .models import Subscriber

admin.site.register(Subscriber)

models.py

from django.db import models

    email = models.EmailField(max_length=255)
    date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)


    def __str__(self):
        return '%s' % self.email

    def clean_email(self):
    if User.objects.filter(email=self.cleaned_data['email']).exists():
        raise forms.ValidationError("the given email is already registered")
    return self.cleaned_data['email']

    add the code above in your models.py

    For whatever field you want it to be duplicated you can use unique=True in the definition of the field. Your models has to define something like the following.

    from django.db import models

class Subscriber(models.Model):
    email = models.EmailField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)


    def __str__(self):
        return '%s' % self.email

    Another approach is to use get_or_create like if the subscriber already exists return already exists msg if not create one. Your api_add_subscriber function will be

    def api_add_subscriber(request):
    data = json.loads(request.body)
    email = data['email']
    subscriber, created = Subscriber.objects.get_or_create(email=email)
    if created:
        success = True
        msg = "You subscribed!"
    else:
        success = False
        msg = "This email has already subscribed!"
    return JsonResponse({'success': success, 'msg': msg})

    And you handle accordingly in the frontend;
