How can I pass my context variables to a javascript file in Django?

Question

This question must be obvious but I can\'t figure it out.

In a template, I link to a js file in my media directory. From that file, I would like to access a context

Answer 1

I don't think it's possible this way. If you want to access some data provided by the view, you have to pass it to the js function.

Example

js file:

my_cool_js_function(some_param){
    // do some cool stuff
}

view

// some html code

my_cool_js_function({{param}})

hope this helps :)
