Django Project and App Structure

• Project: A Django project is a collection of settings and c

django-admin startproject project_name

App: A Django app is a web application that performs a speci c task within a project. You can
create an app using:

python manage.py startapp app_name

• A project can contain multiple apps.

Settings.py

3. Views

Views handle the logic behind web pages and send back responses (HTML, JSON, etc.). A basic
view looks like this:

from django.http import HttpResponse

def home(request):

return HttpResponse("Hello, Django!”)

App urls.py

To map this view to a URL, modify urls.py:

from django.urls import path


from .views import home

urlpatterns = [
path('', home),
]

Here's a brief overview of simple concepts in Django to help you get started:

1. What is Django?

Django is a high-level Python web framework that promotes rapid development and clean,
pragmatic design. It follows the Model-View-Template (MVT) architecture, which is similar to the
MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern.

Templates de ne the HTML structure of your web pages. You can pass data from views to
templates. First, create a templates directory and an HTML le:

<!-- templates/home.html -->


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Home Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to Django!</h1>
<p>{{ message }}</p>
</body>
</html>

In your view, pass a context to the template:

from django.shortcuts import render

def home(request):
context = {'message': 'This is a Django tutorial'}
return render(request, 'home.html', context)
fi
fi
