Django TemplateView [Simple Example]

in this article we'll explore how to use templateView in django.

when you should use TemplateView

TemplateView should be used when you want to present some information in a html page. TemplateView shouldn't be used when your page has forms and does creation or update of objects. In such cases FormView, CreateView or UpdateView is a better option.

example


# app/views.py
from django.views.generic import TemplateView

class IndexView(TemplateView):
    template_name = "index.html" #your_template




#urls.py
from django.urls import path
from some_app.views import IndexView

urlpatterns = [
    path('index/', IndexView.as_view()),
]

    <head>
        <title>index</title>
    </head>
    <body>

    <h1>Hello Django TemplateView</h1>

    </body>
    </html>

all done!
