Add Data to Django Views

There are a set of design patterns that can be used to quickly build full custom views in Django.

Simple File Viewer

urls.py

from django.urls import path
from .views import MyStoryView

urlpatterns = [
    path('story', MyStoryView.as_view()),
]

views.py

from django.views.generic import TemplateView

class MyStoryView(TemplateView):
    template_name = "story.html"

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        return {
            'title': 'Three Pigs', 
            'body': 'Once upon a time ...',
        }

templates/story.html

<h1>{{ title }}</h1>
<p>
    {{ body}}
</p>
