Using custom class view in django get me error

Question

I'm learning django and i'm trying to create my own custom class in a views.py file

This class i would use have to method, one for classical HTML rendering, and another for json response

my class in views.py

class myListView():
    context = {}
    def __init__(self, request):
        request = request
        context['PageTitle'] = 'Contacts'
        context['people'] = People.objects.all()

    def htmlRender(self, *args, **kwargs):
        context['children_template'] = 'people/list.html'
        return render(request,'base.html',context)

    def jsonRender(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return HttpResponse(json.dumps(self.context['people']), content_type="application/json")

my urls.py

    path('list', login_required(myListView.htmlRender()), name='list'),
    path('list/json', login_required(myListView.jsonRender()), name='list'),

Here is the error sended by debugger :

TypeError: htmlRender() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

I don't have any idea how to solve this, maybe i'm dreaming about using custom class in view ?

Thanks'you

If i write this in urls, that is the reponse TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'request' — Asteroide404

from django.views.generic import ListView

class myListView(ListView):

Maybe you are not extending the ListView Class, try this out.

You should first create an instance from "myListView" class then use it :

myListViewInstance = myListView(arguments)

myListViewInstance.htmlRender()
