Django Views

Views

Django views are Python functions that take http requests and return http response, like HTML documents.

A web page that uses Django is full of views with different tasks and missions. Views are usually put in a file called views.py located on your app's folder. There is a views.py in your members folder that looks like this:

Formula

my_tennis_club/members/views.py

from django.shortcuts import render

# Create your views here. Find it and open it, and replace the content with this:

Formula

my_tennis_club/members/views.py

from django.shortcuts import render from django.http import HttpResponse

def members(request):
return HttpResponse("Hello world!")

Note:

The name of the view does not have to be the same as the application. I call it members because I think it fits well in this context. This is a simple example on how to send a response back to the browser.

But how can we execute the view?

Well, we must call the view via a URL. You will learn about URLs in the next chapter.
