How to Create a Basic Project using MVT in Django ?

Assuming you have gone through the previous article. This article focuses on creating a basic project to render a template using MVT architecture. We will use MVT (Models, Views, Templates) to render data to a local server.

Create a basic Project:

• To start a Django project on your computer, open Terminal and enter the following command

            django-admin startproject projectName

A New Folder with name projectName will be created. To enter in the project using terminal enter command
          cd projectName
Create a new file views.py inside the project folder where settings.py, urls.py and other files are stored and save the following code in it-
# HttpResponse is used to
# pass the information
# back to view
from django.http import HttpResponse

# Defining a function which
# will receive request and
# perform task depending
# upon function definition
def hello_geek (request) :

# This will return Hello Geeks
# string as HttpResponse
return HttpResponse("Hello Geeks")
Open urls.py inside project folder (projectName) and add your entry-
 Import hello_geek function from views.py file.
from projectName.views import hello_geeks
Add an entry in url field inside url patterns-
path('geek/', hello_geek), Now to run the server follow these steps-
Open command prompt and change directory to env_site by this command

                $ cd env_site

Go to Script directory inside env_site and activate virtual environment-
$ cd Script
$ activate
Return to the env_site directory and goto the project directory-
$ cd ..
$ cd geeks_site
Start the server- Start the server by typing following command in cmd- 
        $ python manage.py runserver
Checking – Open the browser and type this url-
http://127.0.0.1:8000/geek/
