Re: Trying to build a cart using django cart. "" error unhashable type dict ""

Hi Carl,

The problem seems to be the use of `get_template`: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/templates/#usage

The second parameter (the one you're using a dict) is not the values to pass to the template, but the name of the template engine to be used.

I'd suggest using `render` (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/http/shortcuts/#render) instead, which is more common than trying to get a template from a specific loader.

from django.template import loader

from django.template.loader import render_to_string

import django.template.loader

from cart.cart import Cart

from .models import Product

'''from cart.models import Category, Product'''

    product = Product.objects.get(id=product_id)

    cart = Cart(request)
