Today I learned: Django

Create a project

$ django-admin startproject name_of_the_project

Create an app inside the project

$ python manage.py startapp name_of_the_app

Remember that a project can have many apps inside.

Basic workflow

Create a view

# <app>/views.py

from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("The view")

Create the URLs

Wire the views in /urls.py by creating (for example) path() calls;

# <app>/urls.py

from django.urls import path

from . import views


urlpatterns = [
    path("january", views.index)
]

Then, create the URL path in the project, for the challenges subpath;

# <project>/urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include


urlpatterns = [
    path("admin/", admin.site.urls),
    path("challenges/", include("challenges.urls"))
]
