path('archive/',
ArchiveIndexView.as_view(model=Article, date_field="pub_date"),
name="article_archive"),
where the only mentioned parameters are model and pub_date, and the name
for the template. But using this above code does lead to an error saying
template not found. Where the main problem is we are supposed to
path('archive/',
ArchiveIndexView.as_view(model=Article, date_field="pub_date",
template_name="article_archive.html"),
),
mention the template_name as paramter for the as_view function. I know it
might be silly to just look into the class and find the attribute
"template_name" but for new comers trying to implement this might think
they made a mistake somewhere else since the path was taking in the name
of the template.
So please do mention in the documentation
