在Django中提供static index.html

Question

Thing is, I have an angular + cordova app on one module. I just want the REST api from django for the webserver. no views or anything (well only to serve the angular views).

How can I serve the static index.html using django? do I need different project structure? I'm a newbie to django.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can use TemplateView directly:

from django.views.generic import TemplateView

...
url(r'^$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='index.html'))

Remember you need to configure your templates folder to call .html files by name only.

Answer 2

First, place this index.html page in your server/templates folder so Django knows about it.

Then, do this in your URLs.py:

from django.views.generic import TemplateView

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='index.html')),
]
