Django Class based views Class Based Views
Example
Class based views let you focus on what make your views special.
A static about page might have nothing special, except the template used. Use a TemplateView! All you have to do is set a template name. Job done. Next.
views.py
from django.views.generic import TemplateView
class AboutView(TemplateView):
template_name = "about.html"
urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
url('^about/', views.AboutView.as_view(), name='about'),
]
Notice how we don't use directly AboutView in the url. That's because a callable is expected and that's exactly what as_view() return.
