Welcome to Django 4.2 | 02 – App Web

Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. In this tutorial, we will be focusing on creating a web app using Django version 4.2.

Setting up Django

To get started with Django 4.2, make sure you have Python installed on your system. You can then install Django using pip:

    pip install Django
  

Once Django is installed, you can create a new Django project by running the following command:

    django-admin startproject mywebapp
  

Creating a Web App

Now that we have our Django project set up, we can create a new web app within the project. To do this, run the following command:

    python manage.py startapp myweb
  

This will create a new directory called ‘myweb’ within your Django project, where you can start building your web app.

Adding Views and Templates

In Django, views handle the logic of your web app and templates define the layout and design. You can create views and templates for your web app by editing the files within the ‘myweb’ directory.

Running the Server

Once you have set up your views and templates, you can run the Django development server to see your web app in action. Simply run the following command:

    python manage.py runserver
  

Open your web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to view your web app.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully created a web app using Django 4.2. With Django’s powerful features and easy-to-use syntax, you can build dynamic and responsive web applications quickly and efficiently.
