Question

In the below code i am trying to send a object with the request,Is this correct if so how to decode it in template

 def index(request):
      cat = Category.objects.filter(title="ASD")
      dict = {'cat' : cat}
       request.update('dict' : dict) 
          #or
       request.dict=dict;

And In the templates can we write the code as

     {% for obj in request.dict%}
          obj.title
     {% endfor %}

EDIT:
If i am calling function like

      def post_list(request, page=0, paginate_by=20, **kwargs):
        logging.debug("post_list")
        page_size = getattr(settings,'BLOG_PAGESIZE', paginate_by)
        return list_detail.object_list(
        request,
        queryset=Post.objects.published(),
        paginate_by=page_size,
        page=page,
        **kwargs
      )

Answer 1

You could do this, but why would you want to? Django has a simple, well-defined and well-documented way of passing data into templates – through the context. Why try and find ways to work around that?

Edit after comment No. Again, Django has a perfectly good way of passing extra context into a generic view, via the extra_context parameter which again is well-documented.
