Context variables on several templates

I have a view, which return context {}. I need to use these context variables not in one template.html, - but in several templates. How can I do this?

return render(request, 'cart/cart_detail.html', {
                                           'order':order,
                                           'order_item':order_item,
                                           'total':total}

i guess you could use context processors, that's what i use to get my conxtext inside navbar anf therfore show it in all my templates:

1 - create a context_processors.py in your app then add your function in it.

2 - in settings.py

        TEMPLATES = [
        {
        ...
            'OPTIONS': {
                'context_processors': [
                    ....
                    'your_app_name.context_processors.your_function_name',
                ],
            },
        },
    ]

3 - use it in your templates:

    def your_function(request):
        // ... whatever you have or nothing
        return dict(order=order,order_item=order_item,total=total)

(i could forgot something, you could check the docs), hope that helps
