HTML Title Is Not Informative

[mlissner]

In the HTML response type, the HTML title is always the same, simply: "Django REST Framework".

As I'm working on my API, this is a minor nuisance, and I'd bet it's an easy fix to simply put the h1 value in there too, so it's:

Django REST Framework &ndash ObjectType List

I could probably take a stab at this if this was a welcome improvement.

Seems reasonable, yup.

The title is currently made using:

<title>{% block title %}Django REST framework{% endblock %}</title>

And not a single page seems to override this block. Later in the base template, where the breadcrumbs are made, there's this:

      {% for breadcrumb_name, breadcrumb_url in breadcrumblist %}
        {% if forloop.last %}
          <li class="active"><a href="{{ breadcrumb_url }}">{{ breadcrumb_name }}</a></li>
        {% else %}
          <li><a href="{{ breadcrumb_url }}">{{ breadcrumb_name }}</a></li>
        {% endif %}
      {% endfor %}

A solution that could work would be to merge these with something like:

<title>
{% block title %}
  {% for breadcrumbname, _ in breadcrumblist %}
    {% if forloop.last %}{{ breadcrumbname }} – Django REST framework{% endif %}
  {% empty %}
    Django REST framework
  {% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
</title>

That'll upgrade the title node's text to say the name of the last bread crumb in any page that has the breadcrumblist variable. In pages that don't, they'll be unaffected, returning the present value.

If this feels like a reasonable approach, I'll code it up and drop it in a PR.

Feedback requested, thanks!

Do we not already have the resource title available?
