django redirect to another view with context
In django You can not pass parameters with redirect. Your only bet is to pass them as a part of URL.
def foo(request):
context['bar'] = 'FooBar'
redirect(reverse('app:view', kwargs={ 'bar': FooBar }))
in your html you can get them from URL.
I would use session variables in order to pass some context through a redirect. It is about the only way to do it outside of passing them as part of the url and it is the recommended django option.
def foo(request):
request.session['bar'] = 'FooBar'
return redirect('app:view')
#jinja
{{ request.session.bar }}
A potential pitfall was pointed out, whereas the session variable gets used incorrectly in a future request since it persists during the whole session. If this is the case you can fairly easily circumvent this problem in a future view in the situation it might be used again by adding.
if 'bar' in request.session:
del request.session['bar']
