Django Views

Django Views are simply the functions that get called when a request is made to a certain URLs.
URL patterns are written in [Link] file, each URL regex is given a function(Django view) from a
[Link], so when a request is made, that function gets the call, with the HTTP request object, and
then you can do whatever fun you want to do with that request.

A simple example of view,

from [Link] import HttpResponse


import datetime

def current_datetime(request):
now = [Link]()
html = "<html><body>It is now %s.</body></html>" % now
return HttpResponse(html)

Calling the above view from a URL would return the current time, everytime you call the URL
assigned to this view.
The request object has many parameters related to the HTTP request you get, like headers,
request type and more. Read the official doc with more detailed examples.
