Model–View–Controller

We try to move most of the decisions about what will be render into the template. For that we use some processors listed in settings.py:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                ...
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                ...
            ],
        },
    },
]

It makes, for example, possible to know the user.

{{ user.username }}

Also, we can test if the user is a staff or superuser.

{% if user.is_staff or user.is_superuser %}
...
{% endif %}
