Welcome back, everyone, to this section on views, routing and URLs.
We now understand how to create a jingle project and create a Django app within that project.
We've also explored just a little bit about how to actually create a view and then route them through
where you are well at the very end of the previous section.
What this section is going to do is dive a lot deeper into that relationship of views, their functionality
and connecting them to route to a particular page on your website through the URLs.
So in this section, we'll have a very quick review of a project and app creation, then we'll talk
about the basics of routing and URLs.
Talk about the basics of function based views and then we'll dive in a little deeper with dynamic views,
adding in some view, logic adding in redirects for a force, talking about naming your URLs inside
the actual rendering and then the reverse functionality.
And at the very end, we'll talk about connecting these views to templates.
So a couple of things to keep in mind.
In this series of lectures won't really be connecting viewers to HTML template files.
We're just going to focus on how views connect to your roots first before passing information to a template.
Realistically, won't really be doing this for web sites instead.
Pretty much all the views are going to render some sort of HTML template.
So in this particular series of lectures, we're really just focusing on Vue functionality and understanding
the Django functionality that connects a route to a particular view later on in the next section.
We're going to cover the relationship between templates and views and a lot more detail, so keep that
in mind.
We will be introducing templates at the very end of this section, but focus a lot more on it in the
next section.
The other thing to keep in mind is that this particular section only discusses function based Django
views.
Later on, we will switch gears to class based views, but those require us to learn about models first.
So it's kind of come up next is we'll learn about templates in the next section.
Then after that, we'll learn about models and then we'll pass on everything we've learned and connect
it together through class based views, which is a very powerful tool.
But there's still some more stuff we need to learn about before we jump to them.
So keep that in mind.
This is function based.
Django views later on will graduate, so to speak, to class based views.
OK, let's get started.
I'll see in the next lecture.
