This interests me:
https://teamtreehouse.com/community/django-how-can-i-retrieve-a-value-from-the-middleware
alas no answer there, and time has changed things.
I have checked form experience, that stuff added to
response.context_data in middleware is not seen in templates (perhaps
comes too late!).
Another pager here:
https://mlvin.xyz/django-templates-context-processors.html
describes how to add to context used context processors. Searching the
web is nightmare in this space because of how Django has changed over
time and the different methods in different versions.
The problem I have with that sample above is he's replicating code by
including in settings.py:
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "templates"),],
'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',
# our custom context processor
'utils.context_processors.active_shows',
],
},
},
]
most of which is standard. Is there not a much more DRY way to add a
context processor? Would this work?
TEMPLATES = [
{
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'utils.context_processors.active_shows',
],
},
},
]
Probably not at a guess. But is there a nicer way to do it?
Another way might be to patch the response.content in the middleware but
that too seems messy.
Surely there's a nice way for middlware to take some timing stats around
the:
response = self.get_response(request)
invocation that typically returns a response (and which I presume has
already been through the whole template processing and has finalised
response.content by the time it's done, so taking a timestamp after it's
done is easy but making the result available in the templates via a
context variable like {{execution_time}} would seem structurally
impossible if context processing has already happened.
I can only imagine a trick using another context key like
%%execution_time%% say and replacing that response.content.
I wonder if I'm on the right track here? Or if someone has a better idea?

Bernd.
