I'd like to view a Django template in the browser. This particular template is called in render_to_string
, but is not connected to a view, so I can't just runserver
and navigate to the URL at my localhost
.
My idea was to simply call render_to_string
in the Django shell and somehow pass the resulting string to a web browser such as Chrome to view it. However, as far as I can tell the webbrowser
module only accepts url
arguments and can't be used to render strings representing HTML.
Any idea how I could achieve this?
Use Data URL:
import base64
html = b"..."
url = "text/html;base64," + base64.b64encode(html)
webbrowser.open(url)
