Iam Passing an value when iam redirecting the template in django

Question

I created Login Page and I submitted that page it goes to another page I want that particular username on another page so I am passing that name when I am redirecting the page but it doesn't work for me...

urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from .import views

urlpatterns = [
         path('dash/',views.Dash,name='Dash'),
]


Dash.html
<div class="flex-grow-1">
<span class="fw-semibold d-block">{{name}}</span>
</div>


views.py
def Login(request):
    if request.method=='POST':
     username=request.POST['username']
     password=request.POST['password']
     user=auth.authenticate(username=username,password=password)
     if user is not None:
         request.session['user'] = username
         auth.login(request,user)
         return redirect('/dash',{name:user})

This is my code why I am not getting the name? Please anyone help me

Answer 1

If login is successful. You don't need to pass the username in the template. You can access the user in template as {{request.user}} and username as {{request.user.username}}.
