Django Create App
• What is an App?
• An app is a web application that has a specific meaning
in your project, like a home page, a contact form, or a
members database.
• we will create an app that allows us to list and register
members in a database.
• But first, let's just create a simple Django app that
displays "Hello World!".
Create App
• I will name my app members.
• Start by navigating to the selected location where you want to store
the app, in my case the sample folder, and run the command below.
• py manage.py startapp members
Create App
• Django creates a folder named members in my project, with this content:
• sample
• manage.py
• sample/
• members/
• migrations/
• __init__.py
• __init__.py
• admin.py
• apps.py
• models.py
• tests.py
• views.py
• These are all files and folders with a specific meaning. You will learn about most of them later in this
tutorial.
• First, take a look at the file called views.py.
