# Django apps are made up of normally 4 files being


# urls.py in the project folder along with models
# views and the HTML template in the app folder

# When a user visits your site the url is mapped to


# a view which merges the HTML template with the model
# which is data from the database

# We'll set it up so that when the user requests a URL


# that we'll respond with Hello Django

# 1. Update views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse

def HomePageView(request):
return HttpResponse('Hello Django')

# 2. Create urls.py in the pages app


from django.urls import path

# Import views by looking in the directory for views.py


from .views import HomePageView

# Match for an empty request following the website


# name, reference the view named homePageView and
# an optional URL pattern
urlpatterns = [
path('', HomePageView, name='home')
]

# 3. Update the projects urls.py file to include our app


# This line says if they go to the website and don't
# provide a directory they will be sent to our app
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include('pages.urls')),
]

# 4. Start the server to test the app


# http://127.0.0.1:8000/
python manage.py runserver
