Django Templates


Templates

In the Django Intro page, we learned that the result should be in HTML, and it should be created in a template, so let's do that.

Create a templates folder inside the members folder, and create a HTML file named myfirst.html.

The file structure should be like this:

my_tennis_club
    manage.py
    my_tennis_club/
    members/
        templates/
            myfirst.html

Open the HTML file and insert the following:

my_tennis_club/members/templates/myfirst.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<p>Welcome to my first Django project!</p>

</body>
</html>

Modify the View

Open the views.py file and replace the members view with this:

my_tennis_club/members/views.py:

from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.template import loader

def members(request):
  template = loader.get_template('myfirst.html')
  return HttpResponse(template.render())

Change Settings

To be able to work with more complicated stuff than "Hello World!", We have to tell Django that a new app is created.

This is done in the settings.py file in the my_tennis_club folder.

Look up the INSTALLED_APPS[] list and add the members app like this:

my_tennis_club/my_tennis_club/settings.py:

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

Then run this command:

py manage.py migrate

Which will produce this output:

  Applying auth.0012_alter_user_first_name_max_length... OK
  Applying sessions.0001_initial... OK

(myworld) C:\Users\Your Name\myworld\my_tennis_club>

Start the server by navigating to the /my_tennis_club folder and execute this command:

py manage.py runserver

In the browser window, type 127.0.0.1:8000/members/ in the address bar.

The result should look like this:
