MTV architecture

Django implements the MTV architecture to sperate the presentation, business and database layers to improve the code readability and maintainability.

what is MVC architecture?

  • MVC - Model View Controller
  • It is a pattern in software design commonly used to implement user interfaces, data, and controlling logic.
  • It emphasizes a separation between the software's business logic and display.
  • This "separation of concerns" provides for a better division of labor and improved maintenance.

parts of the MVC

  • Model: Manages data and business logic.
  • View: Handles layout and display.
  • Controller: Routes commands to the model and view parts.

MVC

Model

  • The model component stores data and its related logic.
  • It represents data that is being transferred between controller components or any other related business logic.
  • It manipulates data and sends back to the database or uses it to render the same data.
  • Example: Database queries, core app logic

View

  • A View is that part of the application that represents the presentation of data.
  • Views are created by the data collected from the model data.
  • A view requests the model to give information so that it presents the output presentation to the user.
  • The view also represents the data from charts, diagrams, and tables.
  • Example: HTML rendering based on the model data

Controller

  • The Controller is that part of the application that handles the user interaction.
  • Example: Routing the urls, processing request

Django - MTV

  • Django also follows the MVC pattern but it just used different terminology.
  • M - Model
  • T - Template (i.e View)
  • V - View (i.e Controller)
