Sorry for what might be a silly question, but why is the request argument mandatory in the render() function?

The Django framework uses client-server architecture to implement web applications. When a client requests for a resource, a HttpRequest object is created and correspond view function is called that returns HttpResponse object. To handle request and response, Django provides HttpRequest and HttpResponse classes.
In django render is used for loading the templates.So for this we import-from django.shortcuts import render its a template shortcut. Rendering is the process of gathering data (if any) and load the associated templates
It returns True if the request was made via an XMLHttpRequest. Start the server and get access to the browser. It shows the request method name at the browser. This class is a part of django.http module. It is responsible for generating response corresponds to the request and back to the client.
The client-server architecture includes two major components request and response. The Django framework uses client-server architecture to implement web applications. When a client requests for a resource, a HttpRequest object is created and correspond view function is called that returns HttpResponse object.
The render() shortcut renders templates with a request context. Template context processors take the request object and return a dictionary which is added to the context.
A common template context processor is the auth context processor, which takes the request object, and adds the logged-in user to the context.
If you don't need to render the template with a request context, you can use request=None.
def my_view(request):
return render(None, "my_template.html", {'foo': 'bar'})
For rendering a template outside of the context of a view (i.e. without a request object), one can use render_to_string():
from django.template.loader import render_to_string
render_to_string('path/to/template.html', context={'key': 'val'})
