# models.py
from django.db import models

class Book(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=120)
    author = models.CharField(max_length=100)
  

# views.py
from django.views.generic import ListView
from .models import Book

class BookList(ListView):
    model = Book
    template_name = "books/list.html"
    context_object_name = "books"
  

# templates/books/list.html
<ul>
  {% for book in books %}
  <li>{{ book.title }} by {{ book.author }}</li>
  {% endfor %}
</ul>

# urls.py
from django.urls import path
