Steps to build a website on Django

First install Django using – pip install Django command on powershell

Create a virtual env using the command - python -m venv venv


Start a project using – django-admin startproject title/
python -m django startproject mysite

after creating project, Django will defaultly create some project files

Close the vs code and open the Project file(Hello in this case).

Run the command – python manage.py runserver to check if Django has been successfully
downloaded.
A Django project can contain more than one apps but it should at least contain one app.

Now create an app using command – python manage.py startapp appname.

After creating an app . make a urls.py file in the app(home).

Copy the content of urls.py from the main project-app to your urls.py of recently created app(home
app).

Now add a home path to your urls.py in your project-app(Hello)


Create a path in app(home)->urls.py

After creating the path, define a view(function) that returns a template or a string.
In this way, a simple string/webpage will be displayed on screen

How it works -

This port goes to Hello project’s -> urls.py

It follows the path home.urls


Then it goes to views.index .

In this way the views function returns a string or it can also return a template.

So the path is:-


ProjectApp.urls -> newApp.urls -> newApp.views -> views.functions

Static files- it is that file which is publicly available so it doesn’t contain any sensitive data.

Store all the static files in a static folder.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Templates-

In order to access templates add BASE_DIR / “Templates” to DIRS of template in settings.py of


Project App.

Place all the templates in the template folder.


In oder to render a template just use render() function which has required parameters- render and
template_name. context is an optional parameter.
