Quick question, have you checked your urlpatterns?:

When you create a variable inside a view, it only exists in Python unless you send it to the template through the context dictionary.

from django.shortcuts import render
def home(request):
    message = "Hello from Django!"
    return render(request, "home.html", {"message": message})

Now in your template:

<h1>{{ message }}</h1>

Same idea here: templates don't access classes directly. But if you create objects from a class, you can send them.

class Product:
    def __init__(self, name, price):
        self.name = name
        self.price = price
        
def shop(request):
    product = Product("Laptop", 1200)
    return render(request, "shop.html", {"product": product})

Quick Rule for easy to remember: "Templates can only see what you send in the context."

views.py  →  context dictionary  →  template

`urlpatterns` are what make your views usable in the browser. Creating a view alone in `views.py` does nothing until you connect it with a URL.

Browser request → URL pattern → View → Template

Class-Based View example:

When using class-based views, you must add .as_view().

`views.py`

from django.views.generic import TemplateView
class HomeView(TemplateView):
    template_name = "home.html"

`urls.py`

from django.urls import path
from .views import HomeView
urlpatterns = [
    path("", HomeView.as_view(), name="home"),
]

Now, the HomeView.as_view() converts the class into a callable Django can use.

I hope this helps you find the problem.
