We can also pass direct html file path or url in urls.py file

TemplateView

• In Django, TemplateView.as_view() is a class method provided by the TemplateView class, which is a class-based view that renders a template. as_view() is used to create an instance of the TemplateView and return it as a callable view function.

• To use TemplateView.as_view(), you need to import TemplateView from django.views.generic. The import statement would be:

    from django.views.generic import TemplateView

• Once imported, you can use as_view() to create an instance of TemplateView with specific attributes and behaviors. Typically, you pass the necessary attributes as keyword arguments when calling as_view().

Here's an example of using TemplateView.as_view():

• urls.py

    from django.views.generic import TemplateView

    urlpatterns = [

        path("",  TemplateView.as_view(template_name='base.html')),

    ]

• runnign on this http://127.0.0.1:8000/

RedirectView

• In Django, the RedirectView.as_view() method is used to create a class-based view that redirects the user to a different URL. It is part of Django's generic views system.

• To use RedirectView, you need to import it from django.views.generic and then call the as_view() method. The import statement would be:

    from django.views.generic import RedirectView

• Once imported, you can use as_view() to create an instance of RedirectView with specific attributes and behaviors. Typically, you pass the necessary attributes as keyword arguments when calling as_view().

    from django.views.generic import RedirectView

    urlpatterns = [

        path("google",  RedirectView.as_view(url='https://github.com/')),

        path("app/", include("app.urls")),

        path("app1",  RedirectView.as_view(url='app/')),

    ]

• running on this http://127.0.0.1:8000/google

• So in this way to use django template and url in direct urls.py file
