Pass variable to included template in django

Question

I am trying to pass variable to child template:

{% block footer %}
    {% include '_footer.html'  with var="foo" %}
{% endblock footer %}

but I am getting django error:

Exception Type: TemplateSyntaxError at /
Exception Value: expected token 'end of statement block', got 'with'

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

you must declare variable first then include child template

{% block footer %}
    {% with var="foo" %}
        {% include  "_footer.html" %}
    {% endwith %}
{% endblock %}
