Understanding the Model-View-Template (MVT) architecture in Django is essential for efficient web development. This blog explains how Django’s URL dispatcher, Views, Models, and Templates work together to handle user requests, process data, and render dynamic web pages. Learn how Django simplifies web app development with reusable components, efficient session management, and seamless integration with templating tools. Read more on the StudySection blog!

1. Model-View-Template (MVT)
Architecture in Django

2. Why a Web framework is used?
A software framework is a standard platform for rapid application
development, while a web framework like Django offers generic
functionality for web applications, APIs, and services. Web
frameworks offer out-of-the-box support, efficient session
management, and integration with templating tools for dynamic
content rendering.

3. How MVT Works Together?
A user requests a page (e.g.,
/employees).
01 User Request
The Django view fetches the
required data from the Model.
02 View Processing
The retrieved data is passed to the
template for presentation
03 Template Rendering
The final HTML page is rendered and
sent to the user’s browser.
04 Response Sent

4. The MVC Architecture
Django's URL dispatcher mechanism, similar to MVC controllers, uses the urls.py module to define URL
patterns. Each pattern is mapped with a view function, and when a client's request URL matches, the
dispatcher routes the application's flow to its associated view.
01 URL dispatcher
The View acts as a bridge between the model and template. It handles HTTP requests, retrieves data from
the model, and passes it to the template for rendering.
02 View
The Model in Django represents the database structure. Django uses Python Model classes to create
database tables with matching structures, using Object Relational Mapper for CRUD operations, and the
View renders response as a template.
03 Model
The Template manages the UI and presents the data in a structured format to the user. It contains HTML
and Django Template Language (DTL) for dynamic content rendering. Django's template processor uses
context data from the View to formulate a dynamic response, which is then returned to the user through
the MVT architecture in a web application.
