- A view is a callable which takes a request and returns a response.
- A view can be function (function-based view) or a class (class-based view).
- Class-based views allow you to structure your views and reuse code by harnessing inheritance and mixins.
- There are two ways to configure or set class attributes:
- to subclass and to override attributes and method in the subclass, and
- to configure class attributes as keyword arguments to the
as_view()call in the URLconf.
