Django Localhost URL for all devices in your LAN

While building and running server to see the outcome of the site you have built you have been using a magical command :

And it will generate the server in the localhost 8080 as http://localhost:8080 or http://127.0.0.1

And with that you can visit that url in your device(host) from whichever browser you want and it will give the response as the site you created (Of course, given that you have the page built in ' ' url in urls.py)

But today I am going to show you how you can generate the url such that it can be viewed by any device within your Local Network from whichever devices you want provided that the device is connected to same network to the host device with the website built.

To do so, nothing more is required, just slight changes in command will work for you:

After that all you need to do is to open the url with the network IP address and add the port 8080

For example: If your IP address is 192.168.1.101

URL for the site will be http://192.168.1.101:8080

You can view your IP address by using ipconfig command using cmd:

Your network IP address will be in Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi - IPv4 section, if your connection to that device is wireless.

Python is one of the programming language, which is used for data science and machine learning. It consists of many libraries and a very good community built within the past couple of decades. And it also has the upper hand among other languages as this same language can be used to build the system. While I talk about libraries in Python for Data Science(DS), the first library that come into thought is "NumPy", NumPy (abbreviation for Numerical Python) is the library built with the purpose of scientific calculation in numerical data. It is best for storing the numerical values in an array as a NumPy array that may be single or multi-dimensional (also called Tensors). "Okay, then why not List?" T...

When we say the internet connects everything, this is one example. Here, you as a client want to take service from the server example.com. How is the connection established? The connection is established with the help of HTTP protocol. Now let's dig inside HTTP. HTTP is a protocol for transferring Hypertext data from one computer to another on the World Wide Web basically the internet. Let's understand it more with the above example. When you go to example.com. First, the connection is established between a server and you as a client to communicate a socket is established for request and response. Your request to view the homepage is then taken as a request after connection establishment. And the server is designed in such a way that, what should we do when a particular request comes. He...
