Django is a full stack python web framework for web development. I have been working with Django from 2016 and it's my first ever framework that I had learned back then. It is a wonderful framework that provides some of the out of box features for rapid web development.
\nDjango follows MTV ( Model Template View ) Which is a MVC architecture.
\nThe Model is the logical data structure behind the entire application and is represented by a database usually a relational database such as MySql and Postgres.
The View is the user interface that is usually HTML CSS and JS, if web services are used it can be a REST or a SOAP endpoint that is consumed by the UI.
The Controller is the one that connects the Model and the View. Some data manipulation and processing can happen in the controller.
Suppose a user enters a particular url in the browser the Django application will process the urls in the routes file when a match is found in the urls file it calls the respective controller and does the processing and renders the UI. Suppose a match is not found then the application will throw an error or it will load the default view that is been configured.
\nWhen you create a Django application with the command django-admin startproject mysite the Django application will be created with the following structure.
myapp/models.py is the Model, or where you define your database.myapp/views.py is the controller. You may wonder why the controller is called view. Django docs has a very good explanation for this.myapp/templates/myapp/ are HTML files that define the view. Suppose you want to display the data from the controller you can pass objects such as a list.urls.py will contain the list of urls for the app.
