Django Program: Dynamic Data Loading in Template

Goal:

When a user visits the page, the current time will be displayed dynamically. The time will refresh
(change) each time the page is loaded.

Step 1: Project Setup

django-admin startproject mysite

cd mysite

python manage.py startapp demo

Step 2: Register App

In mysite/settings.py, add:

INSTALLED_APPS = [

...

'demo',

Step 3: Define URL

In mysite/urls.py:

from django.contrib import admin

from django.urls import path

from demo import views

urlpatterns = [

path('admin/', admin.site.urls),

path('', views.show_time, name='show_time'), # Main page

]
Step 4: Create View

In demo/views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render

from datetime import datetime

def show_time(request):

current_time = datetime.now()

context = {'time': current_time}

return render(request, 'demo/time.html', context)

Step 5: Create Template

Create folder: demo/templates/demo/time.html

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Dynamic Data Example</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Welcome!</h1>

<p>Current Server Time: {{ time }}</p>

</body>

</html>

Step 6: Run Server

python manage.py runserver

Visit: http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Each time you refresh the page, the time updates - this shows dynamic data loading on each page
view.
Key Concepts:

- views.py: Pass dynamic data using context.

- Template: Access dynamic variables using {{ variable_name }}.

- Every page load - function executes again - data refreshes.
