Today topic is how to configure URLs in Django. in this blog post, we learn how to create a link to redirect and handle user request to the server.

In this post, we learn all about URLs or routes in Django step by step. we know whenever user request for something we can handle using URLs. so set URLs for that user what we want to show a text message or a view using URL request in Django framework.

Open your urls.py

When you open urls.py by default you will find one URL.


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

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

Step: 1 Create URL for about request URLs.py

Here we write two lines of code first one is for import views and the second one is for URLs handle here I create a URL for hande a request for about. 


from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('about/', views.about, name=about),
]

 

Step: 2 Add new file views.py to handle URL request

Create a new file views.py and add some to code to response request.

from django.shortcuts import render


def about(request):
    return render(request, 'index.html')

 

Step: 3 create a new view HTML file

The best practice is before creating a view first create a directory named templates than create an HTML file named index.html.

Now we have an about page add some code to view.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset=UTF-8>
    <title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>I am about page</h1>
</body>
</html>

 

Step: 4 Update setting.py file for using templates

Here we going to tell python we are going to use a template file which is in templates folder so use this. 

Here just update 'DIRS' with folder name.

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ['templates'],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]
