[Django]-Manually calling a class based generic view in Django

✅

The first way — CategoryTypes.as_view()(self.request) — is right. The problem is that if your view returns a TemplateResponse, its render method isn’t called automatically.

So if you need to access the content of the response, call render() on it first.

Or you can directly access just content via result.rendered_content. Before making this be sure you will set session into your request before passing into a view:

self.request.session = {}
CategoryTypes.as_view()(self.request)
