title: Moving from direct_to_template to new TemplateView in Django
body: <p>Looking to update my project to the latest version of django and have found that generic views have changed quite a bit.  Looking at the documentation I see that they changed all the generic stuff to class based views.  I understand the usage for the most part, but am confused as to what I need to do when returning a larger number of objects for a view.  A current url might look like :</p>
  
  <pre><code>(r'^$', direct_to_template, { 'template': 'index.html', 'extra_context': { 'form': CodeAddForm, 'topStores': get_topStores, 'newsStories': get_dealStories, 'latestCodes': get_latestCode, 'tags':get_topTags, 'bios':get_bios}},  'index'),
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I convert something like that into these new views?</p>
