Passing html to index.html template from view in Django

Question

This is my code in get_rand.py

def okdoo(request):
   context = {'index': "<div> sadsadsadasd </div>"}
   render(request, "index.html", context)

This is my code in views.py

def index(request):
    okdoo(request)
    return render(request, "index.html")

This is my code in index.html:

{{index}}

No text is showing up when i try loading it....

possibly a dup of https://stackoverflow.com/a/4848661/8135079 — matt.LLVW, Nov 14 '19 at 13:12
Show us the full view code, `render(request, "index.html", context)` as a standalone line doesn't make sense. — dirkgroten, Nov 14 '19 at 13:12
simply a method receiving request variable from another view. — user2353418, Nov 14 '19 at 13:20

Try This: You miss a return function

def okdoo(request):
   context = {'index': "<div> sadsadsadasd </div>"}
   return render(request, "index.html", context)

make sure to join templates with base dir in your settings.py

You Can Do Via this Code:

TEMPLATE_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'your directory')

Then find this in your settings.py

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [TEMPLATE_DIR,],
        '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',
            ],
        },
    },
]

It doesn't work. Updated situation details in question. I feel the line "return render(request, "index.html")" is overwriting okdoo(request) — user2353418, Nov 14 '19 at 13:48

change your views.py

def okdoo(request):
    context = {'index': "<div> sadsadsadasd </div>"}
    return render(request, "index.html", context)
