Hello, Django Enthusiasts!
Welcome to another deep dive into Django's world. Today, we're cracking open the hood of a Django project to explore the files and folders that make it tick. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just getting started, understanding Django's project structure is key to mastering this powerful framework. Let's get started!
Let's Dive into our project!!!
After creating the project it creates the files which is necessary to run our Django app.
./venv
This folder is where all the files needed to run your virtual environment live. Think of it as your project's personal toolkit, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Key Files You'll Work Within Your Django Project:
settings.py:
The heart of your Django app. It’s where all the configuration happens, making sure your app runs just the way you want it to.
urls.py:
This is the map of your app. It defines the routes, telling Django which pages to serve when someone visits a specific URL.
Inside Each App:
migrations directory:
This folder keeps track of all your database changes. Every time you tweak your models, this is where the history is stored.
admin.py:
Here’s where you connect your models to Django's admin interface. It’s your backstage pass to manage your app’s data easily.
models.py:
This is where you define your database structure. If your app needs to store data, you’ll be writing the blueprint for it here.
views.py:
The brain of your app. This file is where you’ll write the logic that powers your app, from handling user requests to rendering the right templates.
manage.py:
The unsung hero of your Django project. Without this file, you can’t run your app. It’s like the manager coordinating all the different parts of your project.
