In Django I have two functions contained in views.py. One is called def city_detail and the other is called def DemoView. Both return return render(request, 'app1/home.html', context).
In urlpatterns of url.py i would like to use both functions, but it seems I can only use 1 at a time. If I use only one of the two, then it works (only one of the two works). If use both functions i get error:
path('home/', views.city_detail, views.DemoView, name='home'),
path('home/', views.DemoView, name='home'),
I get the error:
raiseTypeError(
TypeError: kwargs argument must be a dict, but got function.
How can I use both functions in home?
UPDATE
I update the question by writing the whole code
I believed there was no need for the code as I believed the solution was simpler. Update to improve the question. I added the code that I use in the project.
home.html is the page I go to after logging in

Here you can embed data of your city such as the ID: {{ object.id }} or the Name: {{ object.name }}. Since you defined the __str__ method you can also
just put {{ object }} and it will give the name.
