Value from the base on each page?

Question

Django

Good day, gentlemen.
It is necessary to transfer a value from the database to each page of the project. Tell me, please, is it possible to do this without setting the response of this value in each view? Thank you.

Answer 1

Good afternoon, yes, you can use Context Processors
1. Create your own Context Processor, like

from games.models import Game

def most_popular_games(request):
    return { "MOST_POPULAR_GAMES": Game.objects.filter(active=True).order_by("-rating", "-id")[:5] }

2. Connect it in settings.py

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
   ...
    "download_games.context_processors.most_popular_games",
    ...
}

3. Use a variable in any template, for example

{% for game in MOST_POPULAR_GAMES %}
    ...
{% endfor %}

Answer 2

It is better to do this through CBV and simply pass a variable with data to the
context. Context processors are not a completely transparent way for such a simple action.
