POST 9 Now we have created a view Now let's create some urlpatterns to be matched. open the mysite/urls.py file and update it as follows... from django.contrib import admin This code path('', include('polls.urls')) from above will redirect everything that comes into 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/' to polls.urls(our app) The point being that each app has its own url patterns(for now we have only one app). Go to the polls directory and create a urls.py file, open it in your text editor and add these code.. from django.urls import path So once we have a url that matches the pattern above it calls the index view we created in POST 8(do u remember?) Go to your command prompt and run the server again by entering: py manage.py runserver Then go to your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/, you should see Hello World. You are doing well as we described in the view function we created. 1 Like

POST 10 let's create another view and urlpattern so we get the working idea. Go to the polls/views.py file and add this code below other codes def about(request): please convert the emoji to right closing bracket -) We have created another view i.e another function that will do something else. After creating the view, we create a urlpattern to match it(you get the gist now?) Go to the polls/urls.py file and add this code path('about/', views.about, name='about'),, so you should now have this: notice the part in bold font. from django.urls import path So the part in bold means any url that ends with about/ should be sent to the about view we created. Don't forget to save your files after making any changes to them. Go to your browser and enter 127.0.0.1:8000/about/ You should see- This is the about page I enjoin you to try and create your own view function and urlpattern, enjoy. 1 Like |

POST 11 Now that we understand how view and urlpatterns work, let's move on. Feel free to ask your questions(I don't bite) Things we have learnt so far: urlpatterns, views, how the web works... Let's talk about DATABASE Database is simply a collection of information e.g users details like name, sex, favorite quote, all these information are stored in a database. Except your website is static(doesn't change at all), you need to have a database. And for you to manage your database you need a Database Management System(DBMS) that's when you hear SQL- postgresql, mysql, sqlite, mariadb, luckily for us Python comes with sqlite automatically, so we don't need to do any database configuration for now(phew). One sweet thing about django is that you don't need to write SQL codes, by the way SQL stands for Structured Query Language, SQL helps us communicate with the database, for example to retrieve a User's name or picture or post.. U get?? As I was saying, Django saves us the stress of writing SQL by the means of what we call models- Model in simple terms is like the layout or representation of something. So how does Django do it?? You may have heard of OOP- Object Oriented Programming which Python supports, OOP simply means model Let me give a basic example, if we want to model a Human, a Human has properties such as- skin color, sex, height and a Human can walk, sleep, eat etc... U get?? Let me stop here, so things don't get too long 1 Like |

POST 11- CONTINUED So when we model, we create objects and objects have properties and actions(just remember this) We are creating a poll website- A poll allows people vote for their preferred answer to a question. e.g What's the best social network? Every poll must have a question and choices... So we are going to have two models Question and Choice Go to polls/models.py file and type in this: 1.from django.db import models , what the heck is that?? That is how we create models in django or OOP in general. let me explain the code - Line 1 was to import a file called models that will help us in modelling - Line 2&5 defines our model Question and Choice - Line 3 and 4 are the properties of a question. Every question must have a text e.g 'What's the best social network?', Line 4 stores the date when the question was posted on the website. models.CharField – this is how you define text with a limited number of characters, notice there's a max_length, we don't want very long questions models.DateTimeField – this is how you define a date and time field models.ForeignKey - this helps us to link models together, we know that every question must have a choice, so this is how we link choices to a question. models.IntegerField - this helps us store number of votes to a choice, we set it's default value to 0, since no one has voted yet. Save the file. We have successfully created two models, now we need to add it to our database(sqlite) First go to mysite/settings.py look for the line INSTALLED_APPS and add 'polls' INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'polls', 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', ] After creating an app always add it to installed apps Now run this two commands in the command prompt one by one: py manage.py makemigrations polls py manage.py migrate py manage.py makemigrations tells Django that we've made some changes to our models.py py manage.py migrate implements the changes we've made. You get?? You have successfully added your models to database, kudos. 3 Likes |

POST 12 Things we've learned so far: views, urlpatterns, models, how the web works It ain't so easy, that's the way it feels at first, with dedication you will begin to enjoy it. Now we've created a model- a representation of a poll website. How do we add polls(questions and choices)?? I have been saying Django saves time, the way Django does this is by not reinventing the wheel, Django comes with an admin web app(follow come), it is this admin web app we will use to add questions and choices. First we’ll need to create a user who can login to the admin site. Run the following command in your command prompt: py manage.py createsuperuser Enter your desired username and press enter. username: enter any name Enter your desired email address email: enter an email Enter password(note, the password won't show anything, just type) Superuser created successfully. Now start the server by entering: py manage.py runserver Go to your browser and type in: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ You should see the Django Admin Login Page. Login with your username and password(hope you never forget am). Everything you see there was provided by Django automatically. Okay, but I can't see a place to add questions or choices, you said.. Well we need to register the polls app in the admin. How do we do this?? Go to your text editor and open polls/admin.p file and update as shown below: from django.contrib import admin save the file We have successfully registered the Polls app... Go back to your browser and refresh you should see the Questions model. Try and add some questions and save. Take a moment to explore the Admin site 3 Likes
