Django context processors

They are useful if you want particular kind of into to make available in ALL templates. Like github repo update time/date in Rights app

Create context_processors.py, place it anywhere in the project. Add a simple function in it:

from datetime import datetime
def current_time(request):
    return {'current_time': datetime.now()}

If you have placed the .py file in the root root dir, then in TEMPLATES = array add this:

'context_processors.current_time',

Now try to reach it from any template:

The current date and time is: {{ current_time }}
