Scenario: Hari's E-commerce Template Issue

<!-- products.html -->
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block content %}
    {% for item in items %}
        <h2>{{ item.name }}</h2>
        <p>Price: {{ item.price }}</p>
    {% endfor %}
{% endblock %}

The template will crash because 'items' variable is not defined in the context dictionary.
If 'items' is None or not in context, the for loop will not execute and no error occurs. Use {% if items %} to explicitly handle this case.
The template requires a try-except block to handle missing variables.
The {% extends %} tag must be placed after the {% block %} declaration.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer

If 'items' is None or not in context, the for loop will not execute and no error occurs. Use {% if items %} to explicitly handle this case.

Explanation

The template correctly uses {% extends %} and {% block %} for inheritance. If items is None or not passed, the for loop will simply not execute. To handle this, use {% if items %} or pass an empty list as default. The template structure is correct.
