Django set default session key value?

Question

Django

When the site loads, I set the default session key in the home method. But I need to set it not only in the home method, but in all methods. How to do it globally? To not write in each method?

Answer 1

Something like this:

class SessionModeMiddleware(object):
    def process_request(self, request):
        if 'mode' not in request.session:
            request.session['mode']  = 'm'
            request.session.save()

Answer 2

write a function and call it in every view

Answer 3

As an option, you could extend django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware and use your own instead of the Django midvari. But turning it off is inconvenient.
You can write your own and connect, like the answer above. And it's ok within django.
If you don’t want magic, we write a decorator on the views and already set the key there.
