Hi,
I have a question regarding best-practice on django project structure,
I think I´ll best explain it with an example:
I have 2 views, first and second. I have the same function (which in
this case is a datetime-function) that is exactly the same in both
views.
views.py:
-----
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from datetime import datetime
def first( request ):
format = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M'
current_date = datetime.now().strftime( format )
return render_to_response('first.html', { 'current_date':
current_date })
-----
views2.py:
-----
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from datetime import datetime
def second( request ):
format = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M'
current_date = datetime.now().strftime( format )
return render_to_response('second.html', { 'current_date':
current_date })
-----
first.html:
-----
first: {{ current_date }}
-----
second.html:
-----
second: {{ current_date }}
-----
Is it possible for me to define this datetime-function just once and
without the need to include the 'current_date' variable to the
"render_to_response" function every time?
I would like some standard variables in my Django-project to be
available in all templates without the need to define the functions
for every view.
Is this what middleware are for?
Would be thankful for any tip/advice.
