💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong keyword argument name

Passing context as positional argument but with keyword syntax

In Django's render, the context dictionary can be passed as the third positional argument or as the keyword argument context. Here, using keyword syntax, the code should be render(request, 'dashboard.html', context=data).
