Django Views and Templates
In this tutorial, you will learn how to create views and templates to render dynamic content in your Django applications.
Step 1: Creating a View
Views are defined in the `views.py` file of your app. Here is an example of a simple view:
from django.shortcuts import render
def home(request):
return render(request, 'home.html')Step 2: Creating a Template
Templates are HTML files that are rendered by views. Create a `home.html` file in your app's `templates` directory:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Home</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to Django Projects</h1>
</body>
</html>Step 3: Configuring URLs
To map the view to a URL, add an entry to your app's `urls.py` file:
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.home, name='home'),
]Now, when you navigate to the root URL of your project, the `home.html` template will be rendered by the `home` view.
Step 4: Using Template Variables
You can pass data from your view to the template using context variables:
from django.shortcuts import render
def home(request):
context = {'message': 'Welcome to Django Projects'}
return render(request, 'home.html', context)In your `home.html` template, you can access the context variable like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Home</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>{{ message }}</h1>
</body>
</html>Follow the Django documentation to learn more about creating views and templates.
