Django - Metronic - How to pass parameters using the default classview?
In the django template is included a Predefined function named "get_context_data".
How can I pass parameters from the view to the template? should I use "context" variable?
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): # Call the base implementation first to get a context context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) """ # Example to get page name. Refer to dashboards/urls.py file. url_name = resolve(self.request.path_info).url_name if url_name == 'dashboard-2': # Example to override settings at the runtime settings.KT_THEME_DIRECTION = 'rtl' else: settings.KT_THEME_DIRECTION = 'ltr' """ # A function to init the global layout. It is defined in _keenthemes/__init__.py file context = KTLayout.init(context) context['somevar'] = "sample text" # Include vendors and javascript files for dashboard widgets KTTheme.addVendors(['amcharts', 'amcharts-maps', 'amcharts-stock']) return context
Please provide me a sample code or some documentation what is the pattern to use accordingly to the standards of the template you provided us for Django.

I found this way. Is this the right pattern to follow in the template?
def get(self, request, **kwargs):
context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
context = KTLayout.init(context)
context.update({
'somevar': 'sample text from backend',
})
return render(request=request, template_name='pages/dashboards/dashboard-2.html', context=context)
Hi
Yes, please use this method to pass parameters to the template.
context.update({
"somevar": "sample text from backend",
})In the template file dashboard-2.html, you can call it using the variable "somevar". For example;
{{ somevar }}Thanks
