What are Django context processors?

Django context processors are Python functions that take a request object as an argument and return a dictionary of items to be added to the context of a template.

How do I create a custom context processor?

To create a custom context processor, define a function that accepts a request and returns a dictionary. Then, add it to the TEMPLATES setting under OPTIONS in your Django settings.

Can you give me an example of a context processor?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

# myapp/context_processors.py

def my_custom_context(request):
    return {'my_variable': 'Hello, World!'}

How do I use this context processor in my templates?

Once you've added your context processor to the settings, you can access my_variable directly in your templates like this: {{ my_variable }}.
