Follow Django Polls Tutorial with Masonite part 1

Writing your first Django Masonite app, part 1

Following tutorial01

Github

check your installation.

In Django, you run the following command to check your Django version.

$ python -m django --version

In Masonite, you run

$ craft -v

Creating a project

In Django.

$ django-admin startproject mysite

In Masonite

$ craft new mysite

The development server

In Django.

$ python manage.py runserver

In Masonite, We need to install before running the server.
Running the WSGI Server
Host and Port

$ craft install
# then now we can run the server.
$ craft serve

Creating the Polls app

Until this point, Django and Masonite were not so different, just running some commands against your code. From this point, the difference will be clear.
running

In Django.

$ python manage.py startapp polls

In Masonite, we do not need this.

$ 

Write your first view

In Django.

# polls/views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse


def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello, world. You're at the polls index.")

In Masonite. The Controllers works like "view" in Django.
First We have to add new Controllers.

$ craft controller Polls

This command generates "app/http/controllers/PollsController.py"

""" A PollsController Module """


class PollsController:
    """PollsController
    """

    def show(self):
        pass

Let's edit this as follow

""" A PollsController Module """


class PollsController:
    """PollsController
    """

    def index(self):
        return "Hello, world. You're at the polls index."

In Django urls.py handle the request from the user.

# mysite/urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path

urlpatterns = [
    path('polls/', include('polls.urls')),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]

#polls/urls.py
from django.urls import path

from  . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.index, name='index'),
]

In Masonite, the route handles the request. By default, you have routes
/web.py in your project.
Routing

"""Web Routes."""

from masonite.routes import Get, Post

ROUTES = [
    Get().route('/', 'WelcomeController@show').name('welcome'),
]

The request is "http://localhost:8000/polls/" so we have to handle /polls/
in our route. Masonite handle the HTTP Verbs and match with a controller.

"""Web Routes."""

from masonite.routes import Get, Post

ROUTES = [
    Get().route('/', 'WelcomeController@show').name('welcome'),
    Get().route('/polls/', 'PollsController@index'),
]

make sure you are running the server

$ craft serve -r

Then you can access your page.
