Django Getting started with Django Single File Hello World Example
Example
This example shows you a minimal way to create a Hello World page in Django. This will help you realize that the django-admin startproject example command basically creates a bunch of folders and files and that you don't necessarily need that structure to run your project.
-
Create a file called
file.py. -
Copy and paste the following code in that file.
import sys from django.conf import settings settings.configure( DEBUG=True, SECRET_KEY='thisisthesecretkey', ROOT_URLCONF=__name__, MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES=( 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware', ), ) from django.conf.urls import url from django.http import HttpResponse # Your code goes below this line. def index(request): return HttpResponse('Hello, World!') urlpatterns = [ url(r'^$', index), ] # Your code goes above this line if __name__ == "__main__": from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) -
Go to the terminal and run the file with this command
python file.py runserver. -
Open your browser and go to 127.0.0.1:8000.
