render() and the Template Context

Pass data from a view into a template.

Templates Hold Your HTML

A template is an HTML file with little placeholders. Your view fills those blanks with real data before it reaches the browser. 🎨

The context is just a Python dictionary your view hands to the template. Its keys become the variables you can print inside the page.

context = {"name": "Ada", "count": 3}
