RequestContext

This subclass of template.Context automatically populates itself using the processors defined in the engine's configuration. Additional processors can be specified as a list of callables using the "processors" keyword argument.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Description
request	[HttpRequest](../../http/request/httprequest.md?sid=django_http_request_httprequest)	The current HttpRequest instance used by context processors to generate variable data for the template.
_processors	tuple	A tuple of additional context processor callables to be executed alongside the engine's default processors.
_processors_index	int	The integer index within the internal context stack where the results of context processors are stored.

Methods

---

bind_template()

@classmethod
def bind_template(
    template: [Template](../base/template.md?sid=django_template_base_template)
) - > ContextManager

Binds the context to a specific template and executes all associated context processors to populate the context data.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
template	[Template](../base/template.md?sid=django_template_base_template)	The template instance whose engine configuration determines which context processors to execute.

Returns

Type	Description
ContextManager	A context manager that ensures the template is unbound and processor data is cleared after use.

---

new()

@classmethod
def new(
    values: dict = None
) - > [Context](context.md?sid=django_template_context_context)

Creates a new Context instance from the current one, intentionally stripping context processor logic for backwards compatibility.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
values	dict = None	A dictionary of new variables to push onto the context stack of the returned instance.

Returns

Type	Description
[Context](context.md?sid=django_template_context_context)	A standard Context instance containing the provided values and the current context stack.
