+# Custom Active Model
+
+A derive macro `DeriveIntoActiveModel` for implementing `IntoActiveModel` on structs. This is useful for creating your own struct with only partial fields of a model, for example an insert struct, or update struct.
+
+`IntoActiveValue` trait allows converting `Option<T>` into `ActiveValue<T>` automatically.
+
+```rust
+// Define regular model as usual
+#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, DeriveEntityModel)]
+#[sea_orm(table_name = "fruit")]
+pub struct Model {
+    #[sea_orm(primary_key)]
+    pub id: i32,
+    pub name: String,
+    pub cake_id: Option<i32>,
+}
+```
+
+Create a new struct with some fields omitted.
+
+```rust
+#[derive(DeriveIntoActiveModel)]
+pub struct NewFruit {
+    // id is omitted
+    pub name: String,
+    // it is required as opposed to optional in Model
+    pub cake_id: i32,
+}
+
+assert_eq!(
+    NewFruit {
+        name: "Apple".to_owned(),
+        cake_id: 1,
+    }
+    .into_active_model(),
+    fruit::ActiveModel {
+        id: Unset(None),
+        name: Set("Apple".to_owned()),
+        cake_id: Set(Some(1)),
+    }
+);
+```
+
+`Option<Option<T>>` allows for `Some(None)` to update the column to be NULL.
+
+```rust
+#[derive(DeriveIntoActiveModel)]
+pub struct UpdateFruit {
+    pub cake_id: Option<Option<i32>>,
+}
+
+assert_eq!(
+    UpdateFruit {
+        cake_id: Some(Some(1)),
+    }
+    .into_active_model(),
+    fruit::ActiveModel {
+        id: Unset(None),
+        name: Unset(None),
+        cake_id: Set(Some(1)),
+    }
+);
+
+assert_eq!(
+    UpdateFruit {
+        cake_id: Some(None),
+    }
+    .into_active_model(),
+    fruit::ActiveModel {
+        id: Unset(None),
+        name: Unset(None),
+        cake_id: Set(None),
+    }
+);
+
+assert_eq!(
+    UpdateFruit {
+        cake_id: None,
+    }
+    .into_active_model(),
+    fruit::ActiveModel {
+        id: Unset(None),
+        name: Unset(None),
+        cake_id: Unset(None),
+    }
+);
+```
