a simple Django project that uses a model to store book information, including the book name,

author, title, and description. We will then display the list of books in an HTML page using a for
loop.

Steps:

1. Create the Book Model.


2. Set Up the View to Retrieve Books.
3. Create a Template to Display the Books.
4. Con gure URL Routing.

1. models.py (in your app, e.g., booksapp):

De ne the Book model with elds for name, author, title, and description.

from django.db import models

class Book(models.Model):

book_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)

author = models.CharField(max_length=255)

title = models.CharField(max_length=255)

description = models.TextField()

def __str__(self):

return self.title

2. Create the Database Table:

Run the following commands to create the database table for the Book model:

python manage.py makemigrations

python manage.py migrate

views.py (in your app):


Create a view that retrieves all books from the database.

from django.shortcuts import render

from .models import Book


fi
fi
fi
def book_list(request):

books = Book.objects.all() # Retrieve all books from the database

return render(request, 'booksapp/book_list.html', {'books': books})

urls.py (in your app):


Set up the URL pattern for the book list view.

from django.urls import path


from . import views

urlpatterns = [
path('books/', views.book_list, name='book_list'),
]

6. book_list.html (in templates/booksapp/):

Create an HTML template to display the list of books.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head>

<meta charset="UTF-8">

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<title>Book List</title>

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0-alpha1/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
rel="stylesheet">

</head>

<body>

<div class="container mt-5">

<h1 class="text-center">Book List</h1>

<ul class="list-group mt-3">

{% for book in books %}

<li class="list-group-item">
<h5>{{ book.title }}</h5>

<p><strong>Author:</strong> {{ book.author }}</p>

<p><strong>Description:</strong> {{ book.description }}</p>

</li>

{% empty %}

<li class="list-group-item">No books available.</li>

{% endfor %}

</ul>

</div>

</body>

</html>

7. Add Sample Data:

You can use Django's admin panel or the Django shell to add sample book data. To do this via the
shell:

python manage.py shell

from booksapp.models import Book

# Create some sample books

Book.objects.create(book_name="Book One", author="Author A", title="First Book",


description="This is the rst book.")

Book.objects.create(book_name="Book Two", author="Author B", title="Second Book",


description="This is the second book.")

8. Run the Server:

Run the Django server to view the book list.

python manage.py runserver


fi
