Create shareData app and add to project
Please run the following command to create a new app in your exiting project.
py manage.py startapp shareData
Open project level settings.py file add the newly created app in the INSTALLED_APPS list.
Create two view method index and show with their relative HTML templates
Open your app-level views.py file and add the following methods.
# index
def index(request):
return render(request,'index.html')
# show
def show(request):
return render(request,'show.html')
Create templates directory in the shareData folder and create index.html and show.html file with the following code.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Index Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Index Page</h3>
</body>
</html>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Show Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Show Page</h3>
</body>
</html>
Create a URL and add to the project to show the template view
Create urls.py file in shareData app and add the following code.
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns=[
path('',views.index,name='index'),
path('show',views.show,name='show'),
]
Create a third view method to pass data in a context processor
Create a common method in views.py file and add the following code.
# Common
def common(request):
return {
'common':'I am everywhere'
}
Now open project-level settings.py file and the following code in the context_processors list. Following is the example.
Access the data in both templates
Now open index.html and show.html file add the following code after heading.
<p>{{common}}</p>
Now when you will access the template, you will see the same data in both templates. You can change the data and recheck the page.
