# Django Templates
## NOTES
- The name should map to the URL.
- No distro or app name prefix, they are namespaced by their dirs already
- Since templates are made in python, the are `named_with_underscores.html` (not web style dashes).
## URL PARAMETERS IN THE TEMPLATE
- All views (except `generic.View`) from `django.forms.generic` inherit from `ContextMixin`
- `ContextMixin` defines the method `get_context_data`:
```python
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
kwargs.setdefault('view', self)
if self.extra_context is not None:
kwargs.update(self.extra_context)
return kwargs
```
So when overriding one must be careful to extends `super`'s `kwargs`:
```py
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
kwargs = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
kwargs['page_title'] = "Documentation"
return kwargs
```
