1. load the template

2. render the output

3. create the HttpResponse

e.g., In views.py

————-

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

def home_page(request):

return render_to_response(‘home.html’,
{‘card_list’:Card.objects.all(), ‘user’: request.user})

——–

home.html

is the name of the template file

{‘card_list’:Card.objects.all(), ‘user’: request.user}

is the Context to pass to the home.html

is a class used to represent the variables for a template.

Pass it to a Python dictionary containing the names of the variables and their values.

———-

e.g., the below Context

{‘card_list’:Card.objects.all(), ‘user’=request.user}

——————–

this will go to template and used

——————–

{% if user.is_authenticated %}
Welcome {{ user }} <br></br>
<a href=”{% url logout %}”>Logout</a>
{% else %}
<a href=”{% url login %}”>Login</a> |
<a href=”{% url signup %}”> Signup </a>
{% endif %}

{%for card in card_list %}
<h2> <a href=”{{card.get_absolute_url}}”> {{card.name}}</a></h2>
<p>{{card.description}}</p>

{%endfor%}
