8.8.1. Function Based¶

import datetime

    now = datetime.datetime.now()
    html = '<html><body>It is now %s.</body></html>' % now
    return HttpResponse(html)

import asyncio
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.views import View


class AsyncView(View):
    async def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        # Perform io-blocking view logic using await, sleep for example.
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
        return HttpResponse("Hello async world!")
