Adding a news app

Do you remember how to add an app, add a model, and then display objects from the admin database? Try it on your own as a challenge.

Have you tried it? Let's now go through it together. To add a news app, run the following in the Terminal:

• macOS:

  python3 manage.py startapp news

• Windows:

  python manage.py startapp news

A news folder will be added to the project.

/moviereviews/settings.py

Each time we add an app, we have to tell Django about it by adding it to moviereviews/settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',

    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'movie',
