Django 2 by Example

Building list and detail views

Now that you have knowledge of how to use the ORM, you are ready to build the views of the blog application. A Django view is just a Python function that receives a web request and returns a web response. All the logic to return the desired response goes inside the view.

First, we will create our application views, then we will define a URL pattern for each view, and finally, we will create HTML templates to render the data generated by the views. Each view will render a template passing variables to it and will return an HTTP response with the rendered output.
