I'm not so sure about the 'including data in your template' section. It shows the regular way of adding context fields directly. I found greater success and clarity with the @property and its cached brother @cached_property decorators. Using these two, you can access the view instance and its properties via just, e.g., 'view.foo' in the template. @cached_property from what I understand is in fact originally a Django creation too (or at least its first popularising use https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/65344 https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/65344).
