💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using AboutPageView without calling as_view().

Calling AboutPageView() which creates an instance, not a view function.

In URL patterns, you must call as_view() as a method with parentheses to get the view function.

Fill both blanks to add extra context data to the template in a TemplateView subclass.

Django

class ContactPageView(TemplateView):
    template_name = 'contact.html'

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super().[1](**kwargs)
        context['email'] = [2]
        return context

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong method name like get_context.

Forgetting to call super().get_context_data.

Not returning the context dictionary.

Override get_context_data to add data. Use super().get_context_data(**kwargs) to get base context.

Then add your extra data like the email string.

Fill all three blanks to create a URL pattern for a TemplateView that uses a custom name and template.

Django

from django.urls import path
from django.views.generic import [1]

urlpatterns = [
    path('help/', [2].as_view(template_name=[3]), name='help'),
]

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a view class that is not imported.

Passing template_name without quotes.

Using a non-existent view class like HelpPageView without defining it.

You can use TemplateView directly in URL patterns by calling as_view() with template_name set.

Here, the template is 'help_page.html' and the view class is TemplateView.
