I'm sorry for the super basic question but I am having the hardest time placing Python variables in my HTML file using Django.
#views.py ??
def my_fucntion(temp):
F = temp*(9.0/5)+32
print F
weather = my_function(20)
How do I add this to my HTML file via Django?
<!-- results.html -->
<p>The temp is {{ weather }} Fahrenheit today.</p>
I am following the Django app tutorial but I cannot find where they explain this in detail. Do I need to put all my functions in views.py?
I've also tried rendering the result with no luck:
#views.py
def my_function(temp):
F = temp*(9.0/5)+32
print F
weather = my_function(20)
def weather(request):
return render(request, "results.html", {"weather": weather})
I get an error for saying 'my_function' is not defined.
Again, I am very new at this so a simple step-by-step or how-to would be mega helpful. I've been searching the net for a few days and I'm pulling my hair out. I read the Django docs but get lost pretty quickly.
This seems like a very powerful tool and I just want to know how to get some of my Python scripts to display in HTML.
Thanks!!
EDIT:
Thanks for the info but this still isn't working for me. The tag is coming up blank when I pull the HTML up. Here is my code:
convert_temp.py
def my_function(temp):
F = temp*(9.0/5)+32
return F
views.py
...
import convert_temp
...
def weather(request):
temp = convert_temp.my_function(20)
return render(request, "polls/results.html", {"weather": temp})
results.html
...
<p>The temp is {{ weather }} Fahrenheit today.</p>
The result when I load up the page is "The temp is Fahrenheit today." Thanks again!!
