Question 4 of 47
What is the difference between Django's `urls.py` and `views.py`?
← All Django questions
Re-explain
- urls.py: Contains URL patterns that map URLs to view functions. Acts as a router determining which view should handle specific URLs.
- views.py: Contains view functions/classes that process HTTP requests and return HTTP responses. Contains the actual business logic.
Example:
# urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('articles/', views.article_list, name='article_list'),
]
# views.py
def article_list(request):
articles = Article.objects.all()
return render(request, 'articles/list.html', {'articles': articles})
