Django 101

Starting a new role

Intro

pip3 install Django

django-admin startproject helloworld

cd helloworld

.
├── helloworld
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── asgi.py
│   ├── settings.py
│   ├── urls.py
│   └── wsgi.py
└── manage.py

Start server on http://127.0.0.1:8000

python manage.py runserver

Create a new app.

python manage.py startapp hello

Creates a new app

.
├── hello
│ ├── **init**.py
│ ├── admin.py
│ ├── apps.py
│ ├── migrations
│ │ ├── **init**.py
│ ├── models.py
│ ├── tests.py
│ ├── urls.py
│ └── views.py
├── helloworld
│ ├── asgi.py
│ ├── settings.py
│ ├── urls.py
│ └── wsgi.py
├── manage.py
├── tests.py
├── urls.py
└── views.py

Add new app hello to list of apps inside of helloworld.

./helloworld/settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'hello',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]

Eventually we'll define views insiide of templates with view partials.
