Description (last modified by )
Currently, TemplateView inherits render_to_response(context) from TemplateResponseMixin which requires a context argument.
Instead, TemplateView should have its own render_to_response(context=None) that would get a context by default from get_context_data().
TemplateView.render_to_response() should call its ContextMixin.get_context_data() method automatically is because TemplateView inherits from both TemplateResponseMixin, and ContextMixin which provides the get_context_data() method.
Currently, the workaround is to call
# note usage of self in the method call TemplateResponse.get(self, request, *args, **kwargs)
However, users should really be calling what they mean to do instead:
super().render_to_response()
Then, then can still resolve {{ view }} in the template to add more variables.
