Setting up django project and creating home page.
In this tutorial we will start by creating a django project then we will create an accounts app in it. In this accounts app we will create our home page template.
We will start by creating a django project "website".
django-admin startproject website
Open the website folder and create "accounts" app.
python manage.py startapp accounts
Add accounts app in installed apps in settings.py
Edit website urls.py as below
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path,include
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('',include('accounts.urls'))
]
In accounts, create urls.py file and add following code.
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('',views.home,name='home'),
]
In views.py file of accounts we will define a home function.
from django.shortcuts import render
def home(request):
return render(request,'accounts/home.html')
In accounts, create a folder and name it as templates, inside this templates folder create a folder and name it as accounts. In this accounts folder create an html file and name it as home.html. Add following html code in home.html file.
<html>
<head>
<title>Home</title>
</head>
<body align="center">
<br/>
<h2>This is our home page</h2>
</body>
</html>
Now runserver with following command
python manage.py runserver
Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/. Home page will look like below.
