Example

Let's create a very simple view to respond a "Hello World" template in html format.

  1. To do that go to my_project/my_app/views.py (Here we are housing our view functions) and add the following view:

    from django.http import HttpResponse
    
    def hello_world(request):
        html = "<html><title>Hello World!</title><body>Hello World!</body></html>"
        return HttpResponse(html)
    
  2. To call this view, we need to configure a url pattern in my_project/my_app/urls.py:

    from django.conf.urls import url
    
    from . import views
    
    urlpatterns = [
        url(r'^hello_world/$', views.hello_world, name='hello_world'),
    ]
    
  3. Start the server: python manage.py runserver

    Now if we hit http://localhost:8000/hello_world/, our template (the html string) will be rendered in our browser.
