Django(4) URL Configuration in Django

In this section, we are going to config URL in Django. Here are some tips.

URL Configuration in Django

1. In Newsapp package create a urls.py file to redirect its own URL.

2. And then in views.py from Newsapp package, import HttpResponse which aims to show what we want to show on page.

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.shortcuts import HttpResponse


# Create your views here.


def News(request):
    return HttpResponse('<h1>This is our latest news</h1>')

3. And next, in Newsapp\urls.py create the route.

from django.urls import path
from .views import News, Home, Contact

urlpatterns = [
    path('news/', News, name='news'),
]

4. Next, to open it in browser, we still should change urls.py in TestPro package. Remember to add include in the import part.

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

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

5. And then in TestPro, change part of settings.py file in INSTALLED_APPS segment.

# Application definition

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'Newsapp',    # new added
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]

6. Repeat the steps above-mentioned to create “contact” and “home” page yourself.
7. Here is the result.
