[Answered ]-Django cannot access all objects in a model

✅

Your code is:

context['category'] = Category.objects.all()

So it should be:

context['categories'] = Category.objects.all()

And in your template:

{% for category in categories %}
  {{ category.name }}
{% endfor %}

The output you got in your test makes sense:

[<Category: Something not so interesting>]

it’s an array with only one entry, this entry is an object of the class Category, and the string representation of it is “Something not …”

You need to iterate over the category, since it’s queryset. E.g. in your template, you can do

<ul>
{% for c in category %}
  <li> {{ c }} </li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

category in template is queryset ( list of objects) not one single object. You need to iterate over it as

{%for c in category %}
    {{c.id}} : {{ c.other_attribute }}
{%endfor%}
