Django LiveView uses the same views as Django, but the main difference is that the views are asynchronous by default.

To make a view renderable by SSR (Server Side Rendering) and by SPA (Single Page Application), you need to create a function with the following structure:

from .actions.home import get_context as get_home_context

async def home(request):
    return render(request, settings.TEMPLATE_BASE, await get_home_context())

The get_home_context() function returns a dictionary with the context of the page present in the action. The settings.TEMPLATE_BASE is the base template that will be rendered, por example layouts/base.html.

If you want to render data from a database on the template, for example:

{% for article in articles %}
    {{ article.title }}
    {{ article.content }}
{% endfor %}

You will see an error: You cannot call this from an async context - use a thread or sync_to_async..

You can use the sync_to_async function from asgiref.

from asgiref.sync import sync_to_async
from .actions.blog_list import get_context as get_list_context

async def blog_list(request):
    return await sync_to_async(render)(request, settings.TEMPLATE_BASE, await get_list_context())

Or transform articles to a list. But you lose the benefits of ORM.
