Explain MVT architecture in Django
MVT stands for model, view and template. It is a technique to organize our project's code in certain manner.
Model
M represent the model part and in this part we keep all the database related code and interactions. We keep database schema / structure here. We perform database related operation by using model classes. In Django we use ORM (object relational mapper) for performing database operation, one model class represent to one database table and each property of model class represent to table column.
Views
It contains complete project's business logic. Views also works as a mediator between models (database classes) and templates (HTML UIs). Views are bind with URLs, so whenever a user hits a URL based on URL and views mapping, appropriate view function and classed gets called.
Template
Template contains views. These are HTML files which used to create user interfaces. We can pass variables and objects to Django template to load dynamic content. Through views we render templates. We can execute condition and loop statements also in Django templates.
By adopting this architecture, we can organize our codebase in a structured and modular way, which improves readability and simplifies future updates or changes. This not only enhances maintainability but also reduces development time and associated costs, making the system more efficient and scalable in the long run.
