5 different ways to display views in django

Primary LanguagePython

this repo is the result of tutorial at https://learndjango.com/tutorials/hello-world-5-different-ways

  1. App + TemplateView
    1. This approach works well for large projects where you want a dedicated pages app for static pages.
  2. Function-Based View
  3. No Template
  4. No App
    1. We don't have to use apps, actually, if we don't want to. It's possible to create a "Hello World" page solely within our project-level directory.
    2. Directly edit the path in urls.py at the project level
  5. Models
    1. A fifth approach would be to use the database to display our "Hello World" message. That involves adding a models.py file and leveraging the built-in DetailView.
      1. create a model
      2. register the model
      3. add a record in the databaseadd urls patterns at app level
      4. add a Template
      5. add a view to read from the database

To play around

  1. Create VENV
  2. install django
