Views

Function and class-based views

python

from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404

def product_list(request):
    products = Product.objects.all()
    return render(request, 'products/list.html', {'products': products})

# Class-based view
from django.views.generic import ListView

class ProductListView(ListView):
    model = Product
    template_name = 'products/list.html'
