    Django Custom Context Processors Example

In cfehome/context_processors.py add:
def my_context(request):
    # caching
    return {
        "my_var": "hello world"
    }
Replace cfehome with any given Django app and/or configuration module.
Update settings.py to:
TEMPLATES = [
    {
        ...
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                ...
                'cfehome.context_processors.my_context',
            ],
        },
    },
]
In any of your Django templates, you can now use my_var as you see fit:
{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block content %}

{{ my_var }}

{% endblock %}
