Django Model objects not displaying in my template - django

Question

I am new to Django. I have problem in displaying model objects into my template
here is my models.py:
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class Employee(models.Model):
username = models.TextField(max_length=100)
email = models.CharField(max_length=100)
password = models.TextField(max_length=100)
author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
def __str__(self):
return self.username
here is my views.py:
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from .models import Employee
#login_required
def home(request):
context ={
'employee': Employee.objects.all()
}
return render(request, 'newusers/home.html', context)
here is my template code:
{% extends "users/base.html" %} {% load crispy_forms_tags %} {% block content %}
<article class="media content-section">
<div class="media-body">
<div class="card">
<a class="mr-2" href="#">{{ employee.username }}</a>
<small class="text-muted">{{ employee.email }}</small>
</div>
</div>
</article>
{% endblock content %}

Answer 1

You get two distinct notions mixed up: querysets and model instances.
Employee.objects.all(), that is to say currently employee in your template, is a queryset.
Depending on what you exactly want to achieve, you need to iterate this queryset to access each instance attributes:
# views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from .models import Employee
#login_required
def home(request):
context ={'employees': Employee.objects.all()} # note the s at the end
# here you may want to print `list(context["employees"])` to understand the queryset structure
return render(request, 'newusers/home.html', context)
And then for each employee of the queryset employees:
{% block content %}
{% for employee in employees %}
<article class="media content-section">
<div class="media-body">
<div class="card">
<a class="mr-2" href="#">{{ employee.username }}</a>
<small class="text-muted">{{ employee.email }}</small>
</div>
</div>
</article>
{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
