.. class:: django.views.generic.base.ContextMixin
.. versionadded:: 1.5
**classpath**
``django.views.generic.base.ContextMixin``
**Methods**
.. method:: get_context_data(**kwargs)
Returns a dictionary representing the template context. The
keyword arguments provided will make up the returned context.
.. class:: django.views.generic.base.TemplateResponseMixin
Provides a mechanism to construct a
:class:`~django.template.response.TemplateResponse`, given
suitable context. The template to use is configurable and can be
further customized by subclasses.
**Methods and Attributes**
.. attribute:: response_class
The response class to be returned by ``render_to_response`` method.
Default is
:class:`TemplateResponse <django.template.response.TemplateResponse>`.
The template and context of ``TemplateResponse`` instances can be
altered later (e.g. in
:ref:`template response middleware <template-response-middleware>`).
If you need custom template loading or custom context object
instantiation, create a ``TemplateResponse`` subclass and assign it to
``response_class``.
.. method:: render_to_response(context, **response_kwargs)
Returns a ``self.response_class`` instance.
If any keyword arguments are provided, they will be
passed to the constructor of the response class.
Calls :meth:`~TemplateResponseMixin.get_template_names()` to obtain the
list of template names that will be searched looking for an existent
template.
.. method:: get_template_names()
Returns a list of template names to search for when rendering the
template.
If :attr:`TemplateResponseMixin.template_name` is specified, the
default implementation will return a list containing
:attr:`TemplateResponseMixin.template_name` (if it is specified).
