Django DetailView - how to use 'request' in get_context_data

django, python

Solution

You have access to the request in `self.request` - the third paragraph here explains a little more.

EDIT: The text referred to, in case it changes:

The key part to making this work is that when class-based views are called, various useful things are stored on self; as well as the request (self.request) this includes the positional (self.args) and name-based (self.kwargs) arguments captured according to the URLconf.

Problem

I am trying to modify context data, so I overrided `get_context_data`. I need the `request` variable to modify this context. So how can I get the `request` variable in `get_context-data`?
