How to Replace Strings in Django TemplateView

<div class="document">

<p>Here are two methods to output an HTML template as it is using Django's TemplateView class, but replacing strings in the output result at once.</p>
<p>We will handle this in urls.py without using middleware.</p>

<div class="section" id="as-view">
<h3>Method 1: Decorate the result of as_view</h3>
<p>urls.py</p>
<pre class="literal-block">url(r'^hoge-page/$',
     TemplateView.as_view(
         template_name="hoge-page"),
     name='hoge-page'),
</pre>
<p>▲ Change this to:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">url(r'^hoge-page/$',
     content_replace_decorator(TemplateView.as_view(
         template_name="hoge-page")),
     name='hoge-page'),
</pre>
<p>▲ We will use a decorator to perform string replacement in the output result in this form.</p>
<pre class="literal-block">def content_replace_decorator(func):

    @functools.wraps(func)
    def wrapper(view, *args, **kwargs):
        result = func(view, *args, **kwargs)

        def callback(response):
            response.content = response.content.replace(
                FROM_WORD.encode('utf-8'),
                TO_WORD.encode('utf-8'))

        if isinstance(result, HttpResponse):
            result.add_post_render_callback(callback)
        return result

    return wrapper
</pre>
</div>

<div class="section" id="templateview">
<h3>Method 2: Create a class that inherits from TemplateView</h3>
<pre class="literal-block">url(r'^hoge-page/$',
     TemplateView.as_view(
         template_name="hoge-page"),
     name='hoge-page'),
</pre>
<p>▲ Change this to:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">url(r'^hoge-page/$',
     ContentReplaceTemplateView.as_view(
         template_name="hoge-page"),
     name='hoge-page'),
</pre>
<p>▲ Consider a class that performs string replacement in the output result.</p>
<pre class="literal-block">class ContentReplaceTemplateView(TemplateView):
    @staticmethod
    def callback(response):
        response.content = response.content.replace(
            FROM_WORD.encode('utf-8'),
            TO_WORD.encode('utf-8'))

    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        result = super(ContentReplaceTemplateView, self).get(
            request, *args, **kwargs)
        result.add_post_render_callback(self.callback)
        return result
</pre>
<p>In any case, the key point is to insert the conversion method into the add_post_render_callback of the HttpResponse instance.</p>
<p>If you try to directly manipulate the content of the HttpResponse instance without doing this, an exception will be raised.</p>
