# The "home" app
This Django application takes care of serving the homepage of our website, that
is, the first page that you see when you open pythondiscord.com.
## Directory structure
- `migrations` is the standard Django migrations folder. As with [the API
app](../api/README.md), you usually won't need to edit this manually, use
`python manage.py makemigrations [-n short_description]` to create a new
migration here.
- `templatetags` contains custom [template tags and
filters](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-template-tags/)
used in the home app.
- `tests` contains unit tests that validate the home app works as expected. If
you're looking for guidance in writing tests, the [Django tutorial
introducing automated
testing](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial05/) is a great
starting point.
As for the Python modules residing directly in here:
- `models.py` contains our Django model definitions for this app. As this app
is rather minimal, this is kept as a single module - more models would be
split up into a subfolder as in the other apps.
- `urls.py` configures Django's [URL
dispatcher](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/) for our
home endpoints.
- `views.py` contains our Django views. You can see where they are linked in the
URL dispatcher.
