• python3 manage.py runserver built in command for starting the preview environment
• python3 manage.py startapp app-name creates app in the django project, we refer to the convention of apps instead of module.

Urls & Views

Dynamic Path segment & Captured Values

• Dynamic Path segment: So these act as keyword arguments, which Django will use to forward the captured values for these dynamic parameters to the view function that is being executed.
• And in there, we could now check with the IF statement, for example, if month is equal to January.

Path Converters

<int:month> can be used to call different view based on the type of value passed

Templates & Static Files

Adding and Registering Template

• In settings.py, APP_DIRS = True, so if we register our app officialy in settings.py , it would look for templates folder in our app.
• Under INSTALLED_APPS, add the appName from apps.py
• from django.template.loader import render_to_string

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        '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',
            ],
        },
    },
]
