Kind of what it says on the tin: it’s the UI view of your application. Usually some kind of HTML is populated with data using a template language like C#, Python, etc.
The only reason it’s “backend” in this instance is that instead of sending the HTML and template for the end user to fetch the data for themselves (eg. via an API) it’s pre-filled on the server before being sent as a completed blob of HTML and data.
Back when I was writing PHP for a living (which was a looong time ago), we used to call the view part whatever HTML template we were filling with the controller and sending to the user. No idea if that’s what’s being referred to, the meme has a big “IDK-what-I’m-talking-about” energy.
Can anyone help me understand what is View (as in mVc) in the context of a backend?
