Django project base template

Can I create a base template for my project which all apps can draw from? Or do I have to create a base template for each app? And if I wanted them to be the same I'd just copy them?

Solution

  • Sure you can. A quick example of a base.html

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>My Project</title>
    </head>

    <body>
    {% block content %}{% endblock content %}
    </body>
</html>

    And say you have a app called myapp with a view.html page,

    {% extends "base.html" %}

{% block content %}
    <h2>Content for My App</h2>
    <p>Stuff etc etc.</p>
{% endblock content %}
