Can you list and describe the main view classes used in Django?

In Django, the main classes of views are divided into two categories: functional and class-based.

1. Function-based views (FBV) — regular functions that accept a request and return a response.

2. Class-based views (CBV) — classes that encapsulate request processing logic and allow code reuse.

Main classes of class-based views:

• View — the base class for all class-based views.
• TemplateView — displays a template without additional logic.
• ListView — displays a list of model objects.
• DetailView — displays details of a single object.
• CreateView — a form for creating a new object.
• UpdateView — a form for editing an existing object.
• DeleteView — confirmation and deletion of an object.

These classes simplify CRUD operations and allow for quick creation of standard pages.

Example of using ListView:

from django.views.generic import ListView
from .models import Article

class ArticleListView(ListView):
    model = Article
    template_name = 'articles/list.html'
    context_object_name = 'articles'
