Returns

update()

@classmethod
def update(
    other_dict: dict|BaseContext
) - > [ContextDict](contextdict.md?sid=django_template_context_contextdict)

Push other_dict to the stack of dictionaries in the Context

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
other_dict	`dict	BaseContext`

Returns

Type	Description
[ContextDict](contextdict.md?sid=django_template_context_contextdict)	A ContextDict object representing the new state of the stack after the push operation.
