How do you use get_context_data with TemplateView in Django [closed]

Question

I'm trying to do something like this:

class AboutView(TemplateView):     template_name = 'about.html'      def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):         context = super(AboutView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)         context['dahl_books'] = Books.objects.filter(author="Dahl') 

When I try to access dahl_books in my template like this:

{% for book in dahl_books %} 

dahl_books is not available in the template context, even though the Books QuerySet returned a non-zero number of books. ....am I doing something wrong in either my template or in get_context_data?

Answer 1

I can't test it, but I bet you need

return context 

at the end of get_context_data :)
