Django View Example
How to create and use a Django view using an Example. Consider a project named codewithpankaj having an app named p4n-app.
After you have a project ready, we can create a view in p4n-app/views.py,
# import Http Response from django
from django.http import HttpResponse
# get datetime
import datetime
# create a function
def p4n_view(request):
# fetch date and time
now = datetime.datetime.now()
# convert to string
html = "Time is {}".format(now)
# return response
return HttpResponse(html)Let’s step through this code one line at a time:
First, we import the class HttpResponse from the django.http module, along with Python’s datetime library.
Next, we define a function called geeks_view. This is the view function. Each view function takes an HttpRequest object as its first parameter, which is typically named request.
The view returns an HttpResponse object that contains the generated response. Each view function is responsible for returning an HttpResponse object.
Let’s get this view to working, in p4n-app/urls.py,
from django.urls import path
# importing views from views..py
from .views import p4n_view
urlpatterns = [
path('', p4n_view),
]
