Django Templates
Django templates are a powerful part of the Django web framework that allows developers to generate dynamic HTML content in a clean and efficient way. Django templates use its own template language, which is designed to be concise and expressive while providing a secure way to output dynamic content.
Here are some key features and concepts related to Django templates:
Syntax: Django templates use curly braces
{}to enclose template variables and control structures. For example,{{ variable }}is used to output the value of a variable, and{% if condition %} ... {% endif %}is used for conditional statements.Variables: You can use variables to display dynamic content within your templates. Variables can represent data from the context provided to the template.
<p>{{ user.username }} is logged in.</p>Tags: Tags are enclosed in
{% %}and are used for control structures and logic within the template. Examples include{% if %},{% for %},{% block %}, and{% include %}.
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
<p>Welcome, {{ user.username }}!</p>
{% else %}
<p>Please log in.</p>
{% endif %}Template Inheritance: Django templates support template inheritance, allowing you to create a base template with common structure and define blocks that child templates can override.
<!-- base.html -->
<html>
<head>
<title>{% block title %}My Site{% endblock %}</title>
</head>
<body>
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
<!-- child_template.html -->
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block title %}Home{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<h1>Welcome to my site!</h1>
{% endblock %}
