Django is a high-level Python based Web Framework that allows rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. It is also called batteries included framework because Django provides built-in features for everything including Django Admin Interface, default database SQLlite3, etc. Today we will create a Joke app in Django.
Installation –
pip3 install django pip3 install pyjokes
Basic Setup –
Start a project by the following command
django-admim startproject jokeapp
Change the directory to jokeapp
cd jokeapp
Start the server- Start the server by typing following command in terminal –
python manage.py runserver
To check whether the server is running or not go to a web browser and enter http://127.0.0.1:8000/ as URL.
Create main App –
python manage.py startapp main
Goto main/ folder by doing : cd main and create a folder with index.html file : templates/main/index.html
Open the project folder using a text editor. The directory structure should look like this :
Now add main app in your jokeapp in settings.py.
Edit the urls.py in jokeapp
Python3
from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path,include urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path("",include("main.urls")), ] |
Create new urls.py in your main app (jokeapp/main/)
Python3
from django.urls import path from .views import * urlpatterns = [ path("",home, name="home"), ] |
Edit views.py in main
Python3
from django.shortcuts import render,HttpResponse import pyjokes # Create your views here. def home(request): joke=pyjokes.get_joke() return render(request,"main/index.html",{"joke":joke}) |
Create new templates folder inside the main inside that create another folder main and create the new file index.html . (main/templates/main/index.html)
index.html
HTML
<html> <head> <title>Home Page</title> </head> <body> <h3>{{joke}}</h3> </body> </html> |
Output –
Now you can run the server to see your joke app
python manage.py runserver
