I'm trying to learn programming and came across this in my core app. 

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.views.generic import TemplateView
# Create your views here.

class SplashView(TemplateView):
    template_name = "index.html"

What specifically does the above class do, in this context?

  • This is not a good example for a beginner; this particular class is part of the Django framework and, as such, cannot be understood on its own, but rather in how the framework uses such a class. – chepner Apr 23 '15 at 04:33

It does everything TemplateView does, plus has an attribute called "template_name" with the value of "index.html".
