TemplateResponse example missing definition of request

[phisp]

In ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/template-response/

>>> t = TemplateResponse(request, 'original.html', {})

"NameError: name 'request' is not defined"

How can I define request by the shell? HttpRequest?

A link how to define the request in the shell would be appreciated. I know Documentation isn't a tutorial, annoying is this happens very often and a deeper understanding with the shell would be helpful.

Thanks for your work

If you look at the documentation of the TemplateResponse arguments a little earlier, it says: request - An HttpRequest instance.

I'm doubtful that further clarification would be helpful, especially because an original.html template isn't likely to be present.

Based on ​Advice for new contributors, I've been able to reproduce the bug.

But as phisp says:

Documentation isn't a tutorial

And I agree with Tim Graham:

TemplateResponse [...] it says: request - An HttpRequest instance.

I'm doubtful that further clarification would be helpful, especially because an original.html template isn't likely to be present.

Further explanation would only make sense within a tutorial, describing the project setup (including original.html for example).

I am a Django beginner, with some basic experience in web scraping and no professional background in computer science.
But I think I would be able to create an ​HttpRequest object, using the source mentioned by Tim.

Therefore regard this ticket as ​invalid and would close it in this sense.

Agreed.
