Django: Add context to TemplateView

I have very simple template which I would like to mount via TemplateView:

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('feedback', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='foo/feedback.html', 
                          context=dict(mail=settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL)),
                                  name='feedback'),
]

But this does not work:

TypeError: TemplateView() received an invalid keyword 'context'. 
           as_view only accepts arguments that are 
           already attributes of the class.

How can I add render a template without writing a method?

You need to use extra_context:

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('feedback', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='foo/feedback.html', 
                          extra_context=dict(mail=settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL)), 
                 name='feedback'),
]
