Templates in Django

Templates are the HTML files with Django's template language ({{ }} and {% %})
We can place this templates folder either inside each app as: appname/templates or globally in the project as: project/templates and configure it in the settings.py under TEMPLATES.

• Templates are used for combining markup language with the data from our views.
• Templates are designed for presentation, not logic.

• Django has its own template language and supports alternatives like Jinja2 too.

variables:

{{ post }}

control logic:
{% for item in items %}
{{ item.name }}

{% endfor %}

we use render() in views.py to combine template + context:

def home(request):
return render(request, 'accounts/login.html')
