Quick-render an object in generic CBV

[Ankush Thakur]

I'm exploring generic class-based views these days, and was wondering about something. When I use DetailView, the object gets passed to the template, where I have to print all of the properties one by one in the desired HTML element.

I was wondering if it's possible to quick-render an object the way we do with model forms? I mean, is there some way I can say something like 'object.as_table()'? I thought of using FormView as a substitute for this, but that requires data to be present in POST, and forcibly populating POST seems like a bad idea.

Any thoughts?
