what is the flow of django website… what views, templates, models and forms does actually

Question

I am new to django web programming and struggling from 1 month to get the hang of view + models + forms + templates... and i just cant get it fully. please can anyone explain it in simple and to the point. thanks for your help.

According to me if i need to show a login page I have 2 options. 1 to use build-in UserCreadentialForms way which is in all the youtube tutorials. 2 is to use custom built. i have successfully used 1 way and now tring to use custom built forms. for this, i goes to models and create a model of my choice (given below) then goes to run that migrate commands to actually create them in database... now tell me how to show/ fillout/ render those fields in the templates. (i am currently using admin url to register/fill out the data in fields and display them on template)

base template
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">
<head>

    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">

There is a lot to tell but to cut everything in short,

Views - It contains your logic function, all the main function goes to views.py of the app

Models - It contains the schema of your database that is the overall structuring of the database.

Template - It contains your frontend content, basically the html part that we are all familiar with.

Forms - Now Forms is something that can be done using django or without it also but django_form make thing easy so Form have elements like fields as usual which is associated with a Model. Django Form make thing ridiculously easy and fast.

Hope this helps!
