How do I create a decorator in Django?

To create a decorator in Django, you can define a function that takes another function as an argument and returns a new function.

Can you give me an example of a simple decorator?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

def my_decorator(func):
    def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        print('Something is happening before the function is called.')
        return func(*args, **kwargs)
    return wrapper

How would I use this decorator with a Django view?

You can use the decorator by applying it to your view function like this:

@my_decorator
def my_view(request):
    return HttpResponse('Hello, World!')

What if I want to pass arguments to my decorator?

You can create a decorator factory that takes arguments. Here's an example:

def my_decorator_with_args(arg):
    def decorator(func):
        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
            print(f'Argument passed: {arg}')
            return func(*args, **kwargs)
        return wrapper
    return decorator
