Return function data to django template

Question

Was an error with the API. However, didn't throw back any errors.

I don't understand your code, can you make sure the indentation is correct? Your def get_context_data() method does nothing (because of pass) and the 3 lines at the bottom of your code snippet are not part of any function so this would crash. — dirkgroten

Sorry. The person who made the edit added a pass, which i didn't notice. Updated. — JDavies

you're setting kwargs['test'] to be a function, not the result of that function. Anyway, what is client in the first place? What are these "events" you're talking about? — dirkgroten

Hi @dirkgroten apologies for the lack of context. I've updated my code to make it a little cleaner. I'll provide some more info. I'm using the following: github.com/ettoreleandrotognoli/python-ami as I'm accessing call information from a PBX. I've obtained a list of callers using an Action. Within each Action, there are multiple events. I can retrieve and print the events inside the console / shell. However, I need to pass them to display these items to the template in Django. — JDavies

'add_event_listener' will retrieve the events and pass them to the function 'event_notification'. I then want to pass that data to the template. — JDavies

As Django Docs suggest, it is better to extend / add custom data to context, rather than re-implementing it:

def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
    context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
    context['test'] = event_notification(source, event)
    return context

Also, as event_notification is callable, you need to resolve it and pass result of the function to template (or template can call callables, but without arguments; or you can use custom template tags).
