Django how to display the value of user's input

Question

I want to display a value that user types

I am able to get the value using this lines:

    def on_submit_click(req):
        name = req.GET['search']
        return render(req, 'search_test.html')

But i'm not quite sure how to display it on the website

I tried doing this in the search_test.html:

     <h1 class="text-white text-center">{{ name }}</h1>

But it didn't work either.

You're missing the template context in your invocation of render(). render() takese these parameters:

render(request, template_name, context=None, content_type=None, status=None, using=None)

The template context is a dictionary with values which will replace the placeholders in the template. In your case, you want to replace the {{name}} with the search query param, I assume. So, your method should look like this:

    def on_submit_click(req):
        name = req.GET['search']
        return render(req, 'search_test.html', {"name": name}, content_type='application/xhtml+xml')

I've also set the content type
