Django First Html Page

First - create tamplate folder in my_site folder.

Then create home.html page in that template folder. We can just put simple H1 Heading there, or some lorem ipsum for test.

Then, go to views.py and create function that will respond to user request with home.html

from django.shortcuts import render

def home(request):
    return render(request, 'home.html', {})

We will create routing in local urls.py file (in my_site folder):

from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.home, name='home'),
]

We also need to change global routing file - urls.py, in main my_projects folder.

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('my_site.urls'))
]

Then, run server and visit http://127.0.0.1:8000

C:\my_projects>python manage.py runserver
