Summary

By now, we have constructed what might feel like an entire project, but in reality, an application will consist of so much more than what was covered in this chapter. What we do have is a way to route URL paths to views and render different contexts in each template used. We learned how we can query the database in a view to get the data that we want to render in a template. We even covered the different ways we can handle and process an error page or simply redirect a URL to another path. We even used class-based views to write reusable class structures, making a project more adaptable to change in the long run.

In the next chapter, we will discuss how we can use form objects in combination with the function-based and class-based views and templates we learned how to create in this chapter.
