1.

Django MVT (Model-View-Template) Architecture with Example

------------------------------------------------------------

Django uses the MVT architecture:

- Model: Handles the data and database.

- View: Contains business logic.

- Template: Deals with presentation.

Example: Blog App

- Model:

class Post(models.Model):

title = models.CharField(max_length=100)

content = models.TextField()

- View:

def post_list(request):

posts = Post.objects.all()

return render(request, 'blog/post_list.html', {'posts': posts})

- Template:

{% for post in posts %}

<h2>{{ post.title }}</h2>

<p>{{ post.content }}</p>

{% endfor %}

2. What is a Virtual Environment (virtualenv) and Why It's Used

---------------------------------------------------------------
- Isolated space for Python projects.

- Keeps dependencies separate.

- Avoids conflicts between packages.

Commands:

python -m venv myenv

source myenv/bin/activate (Windows: myenv\Scripts\activate)

3. CRUD Operations in Django with Example

----------------------------------------

CRUD = Create, Read, Update, Delete

Example: Todo App

- Model:

class Task(models.Model):

title = models.CharField(max_length=100)

- Create:

Task.objects.create(title="New Task")

- Read:

Task.objects.all()

- Update:

task = Task.objects.get(id=1)

task.title = "Updated Task"

task.save()
- Delete:

task = Task.objects.get(id=1)

task.delete()

4. API and RESTful API in Brief

-------------------------------

- API: Allows different software to communicate.

- RESTful API: Follows REST rules, uses HTTP methods.

Example:

GET /posts -> Get posts

POST /posts -> Create post

5. Django Middleware and Its Role

---------------------------------

- Middleware processes requests/responses globally.

- Can modify request before view or response after view.

Example:

class SimpleMiddleware:

def __init__(self, get_response):

self.get_response = get_response

def __call__(self, request):

print("Request received")

response = self.get_response(request)

print("Response returned")
return response

6. Significance of SQL in Django

--------------------------------

- Django converts Python ORM code to SQL queries.

- Avoids writing raw SQL.

Example:

Post.objects.all() -> SELECT * FROM blog_post;

7. Key Components of Django ORM

-------------------------------

- Model class: Defines table.

- QuerySet: Set of database queries.

- Manager: Interface for querying.

Example:

class Product(models.Model):

name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

Product.objects.create(name="Phone")

Product.objects.all()

Product.objects.filter(name="Phone")
