# What Are Django URLs?

In this section, we will learn what are **URLs** in Django and how to create them and link them with the view functions that we have created in `views.py` file.

So in our previous [section](https://blog.teachmebro.com/understanding-templates-in-django), we have successfully created our **Templates**. Let's create URLs for each `view` Function which is the last step to render our `HTML templates` to display them in the browser.

Django URLs
===========

We want to access the **Signup** view via a URL. Django has its own way of URL mapping and it's done by editing your project `urls.py` file `(social/urls.py)`.

When a user makes a request for a page on your web app, `Django controller` takes over to look for the corresponding `view` via the `url.py` file, and then return the `HTML response` or a `404 not found error`, if not found. In `url.py`, the most important thing is the "urlpatterns" tuple. It's where you define the mapping between `URLs` and `views`. A mapping is a tuple in URL patterns, the `url.py` file looks like -

```
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from django.conf.urls import url
from account import views as acccount_views

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r"^$", acccount_views.IndexView.as_view(), name="index"),
    url(r"^signup/$", acccount_views.signup, name="signup"),
]

```

add this line at the bottom of `social/settings.py`

```
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'index'
```

Now run the following command where the `manage.py` file is located:

```
python manage.py runserver
```

goto `http://127.0.0.1:8000/`

You will see the home page click on the **signup** button to go to the **Signup** page.

Fill the form and if everything is alright then you will be redirected to the home page as logged-in user.

`Congratulation!` We have successfully implemented the `signup view` in Django.
