Methods
Returns a dictionary representing the template context. The keyword arguments provided will make up the returned context. Example usage:
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(RandomNumberView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['number'] = random.randrange(1, 100)
return context
The template context of all class-based generic views include a view variable that points to the View instance.
Use alters_data where appropriate
Note that having the view instance in the template context may expose potentially hazardous methods to template authors. To prevent methods like this from being called in the template, set alters_data=True on those methods. For more information, read the documentation on rendering a template context.
Provides a mechanism to construct a TemplateResponse, given suitable context. The template to use is configurable and can be further customized by subclasses.
Attributes
The full name of a template to use as defined by a string. Not defining a template_name will raise a django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured exception.
The response class to be returned by render_to_response method. Default is TemplateResponse. The template and context of TemplateResponse instances can be altered later (e.g. in template response middleware).
If you need custom template loading or custom context object instantiation, create a TemplateResponse subclass and assign it to response_class.
Methods
Returns a self.response_class instance.
If any keyword arguments are provided, they will be passed to the constructor of the response class.
Calls get_template_names() to obtain the list of template names that will be searched looking for an existent template.
Returns a list of template names to search for when rendering the template.
If TemplateResponseMixin.template_name is specified, the default implementation will return a list containing TemplateResponseMixin.template_name (if it is specified).
