Templates are often used in web frameworks. In the Python Django framework, a template view is used to dynamically render HTML<\/a> content. When the goal is to display some information on an HTML page, a Template view can do that very effectively.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s most suitable for static pages like \u201cabout-us\u201d that do not need any context variables. However, the template view can easily utilize context variables if needed.<\/p>\n

For better understanding, Let\u2019s create a basic Django project that will use template view to render a \u201ctest-page.html\u201d file that contains HTML content. Use \u201cpython3\u201d if you are following this tutorial on the Linux system<\/a>. On Windows, use \u201cpython\u201d while executing commands.<\/p>\n

1. Open Terminal, create a new Python virtual environment in the current working directory, and activate it using:<\/p>\n

For Linux:<\/p>\n

$ python3 -m venv new_env
\n$ source new_env\/bin\/activate<\/code><\/p>\n

For Windows:<\/p>\n

> python -m venv new_env
\n> .\\new_env\\Script\\activate<\/code><\/p>\n

2. Install the Django framework in the current environment and start a new Python Django project using:<\/p>\n

$ pip install django
\n$ django-admin startproject project<\/code><\/p>\n

3. Create a new \u201capp\u201d in the project:<\/p>\n

$ cd project
\n$ python3 manage.py startapp app<\/code><\/p>\n

4. Open the \u201cviews.py\u201d file from \u201capp\u201d directory and paste the following code (make sure to remove the existing content in \u201cviews.py\u201d file):<\/p>\n

from django.views.generic.base import TemplateView<\/p>\n

class TestPage(TemplateView):
\ntemplate_name = 'test-page.html'<\/code><\/p>\n

5. Make a new \u201ctemplates\u201d named directory in \u201capp\u201d directory and create \u201ctest-page.html\u201d file inside \u201ctemplates\u201d directory with the following code:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6. Open the \u201curls.py\u201d file inside \u201cproject\u201d directory and add the following code:<\/p>\n

from django.contrib import admin
\nfrom django.urls import path
\nfrom test_app.views import TestPage<\/code><\/p>\n

urlpatterns = [
\npath('admin\/', admin.site.urls),
\npath('', TestPage.as_view(), name=\"testpage\")
\n]<\/code><\/p>\n

7. Now open \u201csettings.py\u201d from \u201cproject\u201d directory and make the required changes in these two lines:<\/p>\n

ALLOWED_HOSTS = [\"127.0.0.1\", \"localhost\"]\n'DIRS': [\"test_app\/templates\"]<\/code><\/p>\n

# \u2018DIRS\u2019 line is under \u201cTEMPLATES\u201d block<\/code><\/p>\n

8. Run below commands to complete the database initialization and migrations process for new project setup:<\/p>\n

$ python3 manage.py makemigrations
\n$ python3 manage.py migrate<\/code><\/p>\n

9. After successful database migration, execute the following command to run the test server:<\/p>\n

$ python3 manage.py runserver<\/code><\/p>\n

If everything is done correctly as explained above, the test server will start on http:\/\/120.0.0.1:8000 or http:\/\/localhost:8000 to access the Django application. By using the URL in the browser, you should see the rendered template similar as below:<\/p>\n
