What is MVT?
Django MVT Structure
Django is based on MVT (Model-View-Template) architecture. MVT is a software design pattern for developing a web application.
Model:
Model is going to act as the interface of your data. It is responsible for maintaining data. It is the logical data structure behind the entire application and is represented by a database
View:
The View is the user interface — what you see in your browser when you render a website. It is represented by HTML/CSS/Javascript and Jinja files.
Template:
A template consists of static parts of the desired HTML output as well as some special syntax describing how dynamic content will be inserted.
Project Structure
A Django Project when initialised contains basic files by default such as manage.py, view.py, etc
manage.py
This file is used to interact with your project via the command line(start the server, sync the database… etc). For getting the full list of command that can be executed by manage.py type this code in the command window-
python manage.py help
folder ( geeks_site )
This folder contains all the packages of your project. Initially it contains four files –
File name : index.py
_init_.py – It is a python package. It is invoked when the package or a module in the package is imported. We usually use this to execute package initialization code, for example for the initialization of package-level data.
settings.py – As the name indicates it contains all the website settings. In this file we register any applications we create, the location of our static files, database configuration details, etc.
urls.py – In this file we store all links of the project and functions to call.
wsgi.py – This file is used in deploying the project in WSGI. It is used to help your Django application communicate with the web server.
