The Django is based on the MVT architecture. It is a software design pattern that divides a web application into the three main components that is Model, View, and Template. The main purpose of MVT is to separate the data handing, business logic and user interface so the application becomes manageable and extend.

In Django, a model is a class which is used to contain essential fields and methods. Each model class maps to a single table in the database. Django Model is a subclass of django.db.models.Model and each field of the model class represents a database field (column). Django provides us a database-abstraction API which allows us to create, retrieve, update and delete a record from the mapped table. Model is defined in...

It is a class which is used to create an HTML form by using the Model. It is an efficient way to create a form without writing HTML code. Django automatically does it for us to reduce the application development time. For example, suppose we have a model containing various fields, we don't need to repeat the fields in the form file. For this reason, Django provides a helper class which allows us to create a Form...

CRUD Operations Create: This operation is responsible for addition of new data records to the database. Retrieve (or read): It retrieves existing data from the database and view it. Update: It...

In Django, while building an API, serializers play a crucial role in defining how data is serialized and deserialized. One of the key features of serializers is the ability to define URL fields, which allow us to link to related objects and resources. What are URL Fields? URL fields in serializers that allow us to represent related objects and resources using a URL. In other words, they provide a way to link to relat...

When we are going to develop a Django application the test is necessary process to check whether the app works as expected. Initially the database is empty and it is not reliable to test without real data.
