Hello what's wrong with my code and what {'article': article} stand for why do I need them
from django.shortcuts import render
from .models import Article, Writer
def article_list(request):
articles = Article.objects.all()
return render(request, 'articles/article_list.html', {'articles': articles})
def writer_detail(request,pk):
writer_detail = Writer.objects.get(pk=pk)
return render(request, 'articles/writer_detail.html' {'writer': writer})

230,688 PointsYou're very close, but I see two issues:
- the result of the "get" is assigned to "writer_detail" but referenced later as just "writer"
- the "render" call is missing a comma to separate the second and third arguments
The optional third argument to "render" is a dictionary of values to add to the template context. In this case, the dictionary is defining "articles" (using the results of the call to ".objects.all()") which we can assume is referenced in the template file. The template itself is not shown in the challenge since it's not needed to accomplish the objective.
See the Django documentation for more details.
