🧩 Use Pages Context
With new page models we lost the ability to write view functions. Then we are giving you a way to inject more context inside a page in a simple manner.
You are going to apply the registration approach.
The game rules are simple, first of all:
- Make a file called
template_context.pyin your app directory. Camomilla is built to autodiscover those files.
Inside the file you can provide context with the register function in 2 different ways.
Template based registration
To register some additional context to a specific template wite in the template_context.py file the following:
from camomilla.templates_context.rendering import register
from camomilla.models import Media
@register("website/home.html")
def home_page():
return {
"title": "My fantastic title",
"content": "My wanderfull content",
"media_gallery": Media.objects.all(),
}
Model based registration
To register some additional context to a specific page wite in the template_context.py file the following:
from camomilla.templates_context.rendering import register
from camomilla.models import Media, Page
@register(page_model=Page)
def home_page():
return {
"title": "My fantastic title",
"content": "My wanderfull content",
"media_gallery": Media.objects.all(),
}
Additional **kwargs
You can access to two usefull kwargs in template_context functions. The request kwarg contains the django http request. The super_ctx kwarg contains the context coming from upper functions or camomilla default context
from camomilla.templates_context.rendering import register
from camomilla.models import Media, Page
@register(page_model=Page)
def home_page(request, super_ctx):
# your custom code can use request or super_ctx to provide more precise context
return {
"title": "My fantastic title",
"content": "My wanderfull content",
"media_gallery": Media.objects.all(),
}
