I want to dynamically generate a page using the base template
I need to insert a piece of HTML code on the page
I have checkboxes and after selecting some, generate new ones according to favorites.
It doesn't work as it should :
def index(request):
context = {'content': '<h1>hello</h1>'}
return render(request, 'base.html', context)
on the HTML page :
<h1>hello</h1>
how to insert html tags into base template?
you can use render:
views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
def index(request):
context = {'foo': 'bar'}
return render(request,'yourapp_name/your_html.html',context)
your_html.html
{% extends 'yourapp_name/base.html' %}
{% block content %}
Hello
{% endblock %}
remember your html files should have this path: yourapp_name/templates/yourapp_name/your_html.html
the tags you want to use are django specific tags that neet to be converted by the django renderer. Put the html in a template file and render it as response:
def index(request):
....
return render(request, "path/your_template.html", context)
please follow the django docs to understand where to place the templates so that django will find them.
