How to pass django rest framework response to html

Question

How to pass django restframework response for any request to html. Example: A list which contains objects, and html be articles.html.

I tried by using rest framework Response :

data= {'articles': Article.objects.all() }
return Response(data, template_name='articles.html')

I am getting this error :

""" AssertionError at /articles/

.accepted_renderer not set on Response """

How to fix this error?

Hello @kartik,

You need to use an @api_view decorator to display properly. I've seen this particular error happen for this exact reason (missing API View declaration in function based views).

from rest_framework.decorators import api_view
# ....

@api_view(['GET', 'POST', ])
def articles(request, format=None):
    data= {'articles': Article.objects.all() }
    return Response(data, template_name='articles.html')

Hope this is helpful!
