Context processors

System for making data globally available to all templates without manual passing.

Workflow: Creating a custom context processor

Create apps/my_app/context_processors.py:

def site_info(request):
    return {
        'site_name': 'My Awesome Project',
        'support_email': 'support@example.com',
    }

Add the dotted path of your function to the context_processors list in settings.py:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                'apps.my_app.context_processors.site_info',
            ],
        },
    },
]
