The :func:`~django.urls.path` function is passed four arguments, two required:
``route`` and ``view``, and two optional: ``kwargs``, and ``name``.
At this point, it's worth reviewing what these arguments are for.
:func:`~django.urls.path` argument: ``route``
---------------------------------------------
``route`` is a string that contains a URL pattern. When processing a request,
Django starts at the first pattern in ``urlpatterns`` and makes its way down
the list, comparing the requested URL against each pattern until it finds one
that matches.
Patterns don't search GET and POST parameters, or the domain name. For example,
in a request to ``https://www.example.com/myapp/``, the URLconf will look for
``myapp/``. In a request to ``https://www.example.com/myapp/?page=3``, the
URLconf will also look for ``myapp/``.
:func:`~django.urls.path` argument: ``view``
--------------------------------------------
When Django finds a matching pattern, it calls the specified view function with
an :class:`~django.http.HttpRequest` object as the first argument and any
"captured" values from the route as keyword arguments. We'll give an example
of this in a bit.
:func:`~django.urls.path` argument: ``kwargs``
----------------------------------------------
Arbitrary keyword arguments can be passed in a dictionary to the target view. We
aren't going to use this feature of Django in the tutorial.
:func:`~django.urls.path` argument: ``name``
--------------------------------------------
Naming your URL lets you refer to it unambiguously from elsewhere in Django,
especially from within templates. This powerful feature allows you to make
global changes to the URL patterns of your project while only touching a single
file.
When you're comfortable with the basic request and response flow, read
:doc:`part 2 of this tutorial </intro/tutorial02>` to start working with the
database.
