Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the advanced templating concepts in Django and understood how we can create custom template tags and filters to fit a myriad of use cases and support the reusability of components across the application. We then looked at how Django provides us with the flexibility to implement FBVs and CBVs to render our responses.

While exploring CBVs, we learned how they can help us avoid code duplication and how we can leverage the built-in CBVs to render forms that save data, help us update existing records, and implement CRUD operations on our database resources.

As we move to the next chapter, we will now utilize our knowledge of building CBVs to work on implementing REST APIs in Django. This will allow us to perform well-defined HTTP operations on our data inside our Bookr application without maintaining any state inside the application.
