Django – 2 Basic View and URL configuration

Django – 2 Basic View and URL configuration.

this blog just gives a very small and simple hello world style webpage over Django framework.

 

Define a function called hello

And save it to the testproject folder as helloworld.py

from django.http import HttpResponse

def hello(request):

return HttpResponse("Hello world")

this is the business logic of your webpage output.

Change the urls.py and let it call hello function.

    from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

    # Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:

    # from django.contrib import admin

    # admin.autodiscover()

    from testproject.helloworld import hello

    urlpatterns = patterns('',

        url(r'^hello/$','testproject.helloworld.hello',name='hello'),

    )

         

The most import line is url(r'^hello/$','testproject.helloworld.hello',name='hello'),

• r'^hello/$' is the regular expression when you try to access the page via the browser
• 'testproject.helloworld.hello’ is the [project].[module].[function]
• name='hello' is just to give a name to the view.

The urls.py plays a very import role in Django framework, it mapps the url to the python scripts that provides the logic.

So when you run the server by python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080

And access the page by http://192.168.56.112:8080/hello/

You will get the page look like
