I want to change the word "brackets" to "parentheses" because when I think of brackets, I think of [], and when I think of parentheses, I think of (), and when I originally read this, I found the word confusing.

Built-in template tags and filters
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
This document describes Django's built-in template tags and filters. It is
|
|
recommended that you use the :doc:`automatic documentation
|
|
</ref/contrib/admin/admindocs>`, if available, as this will also include
|
|
documentation for any custom tags or filters installed.
|
|

Built-in tag reference
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
.. highlightlang:: html+django
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: autoescape
|
|
|
|
autoescape
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Controls the current auto-escaping behavior. This tag takes either ``on`` or
|
|
``off`` as an argument and that determines whether auto-escaping is in effect
|
|
inside the block. The block is closed with an ``endautoescape`` ending tag.
|
|
|
|
When auto-escaping is in effect, all variable content has HTML escaping applied
|
|
to it before placing the result into the output (but after any filters have
|
|
been applied). This is equivalent to manually applying the :tfilter:`escape`
|
|
filter to each variable.
|
|
|
|
The only exceptions are variables that are already marked as "safe" from
|
|
escaping, either by the code that populated the variable, or because it has had
|
|
the :tfilter:`safe` or :tfilter:`escape` filters applied.
|
|
|
|
Sample usage::
|
|
|
|
{% autoescape on %}
|
|
{{ body }}
|
|
{% endautoescape %}
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: block
|
|
|
|
block
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Defines a block that can be overridden by child templates. See
|
|
:ref:`Template inheritance <template-inheritance>` for more information.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: comment
|
|
|
|
comment
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Ignores everything between ``{% comment %}`` and ``{% endcomment %}``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: csrf_token
|
|
|
|
csrf_token
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
This tag is used for CSRF protection, as described in the documentation for
|
|
:doc:`Cross Site Request Forgeries </ref/contrib/csrf>`.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: cycle
|
|
|
|
cycle
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Cycles among the given strings or variables each time this tag is encountered.
|
|
|
|
Within a loop, cycles among the given strings each time through the
|
|
loop::
|
|
|
|
{% for o in some_list %}
|
|
<tr class="{% cycle 'row1' 'row2' %}">
|
|
...
|
|
</tr>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
You can use variables, too. For example, if you have two template variables,
|
|
``rowvalue1`` and ``rowvalue2``, you can cycle between their values like this::
|
|
|
|
{% for o in some_list %}
|
|
<tr class="{% cycle rowvalue1 rowvalue2 %}">
|
|
...
|
|
</tr>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
Note that variable arguments (``rowvalue1`` and ``rowvalue2`` above) are NOT
|
|
auto-escaped! So either make sure that you trust their values, or use explicit
|
|
escaping, like this::
|
|
|
|
{% for o in some_list %}
|
|
<tr class="{% filter force_escape %}{% cycle rowvalue1 rowvalue2 %}{% endfilter %}">
|
|
...
|
|
</tr>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
You can mix variables and strings::
|
|
|
|
{% for o in some_list %}
|
|
<tr class="{% cycle 'row1' rowvalue2 'row3' %}">
|
|
...
|
|
</tr>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
In some cases you might want to refer to the next value of a cycle from
|
|
outside of a loop. To do this, just give the ``{% cycle %}`` tag a name, using
|
|
"as", like this::
|
|
|
|
{% cycle 'row1' 'row2' as rowcolors %}
|
|
|
|
From then on, you can insert the current value of the cycle wherever
|
|
you'd like in your template by referencing the cycle name as a context
|
|
variable. If you want to move the cycle onto the next value, you use
|
|
the cycle tag again, using the name of the variable. So, the following
|
|
template::
|
|
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td class="{% cycle 'row1' 'row2' as rowcolors %}">...</td>
|
|
<td class="{{ rowcolors }}">...</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td class="{% cycle rowcolors %}">...</td>
|
|
<td class="{{ rowcolors }}">...</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
|
|
would output::
|
|
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td class="row1">...</td>
|
|
<td class="row1">...</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td class="row2">...</td>
|
|
<td class="row2">...</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
|
|
You can use any number of values in a ``{% cycle %}`` tag, separated by spaces.
|
|
Values enclosed in single (``'``) or double quotes (``"``) are treated as
|
|
string literals, while values without quotes are treated as template variables.
|
|
|
|
Note that the variables included in the cycle will not be escaped.
|
|
This is because template tags do not escape their content. Any HTML or
|
|
Javascript code contained in the printed variable will be rendered
|
|
as-is, which could potentially lead to security issues.
|
|
|
|
For backwards compatibility, the ``{% cycle %}`` tag supports the much inferior
|
|
old syntax from previous Django versions. You shouldn't use this in any new
|
|
projects, but for the sake of the people who are still using it, here's what it
|
|
looks like::
|
|
|
|
{% cycle row1,row2,row3 %}
|
|
|
|
In this syntax, each value gets interpreted as a literal string, and there's no
|
|
way to specify variable values. Or literal commas. Or spaces. Did we mention
|
|
you shouldn't use this syntax in any new projects?
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.3
|
|
|
|
By default, when you use the ``as`` keyword with the cycle tag, the
|
|
usage of ``{% cycle %}`` that declares the cycle will itself output
|
|
the first value in the cycle. This could be a problem if you want to
|
|
use the value in a nested loop or an included template. If you want to
|
|
just declare the cycle, but not output the first value, you can add a
|
|
``silent`` keyword as the last keyword in the tag. For example::
|
|
|
|
{% for obj in some_list %}
|
|
{% cycle 'row1' 'row2' as rowcolors silent %}
|
|
<tr class="{{ rowcolors }}">{% include "subtemplate.html " %}</tr>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
This will output a list of ``<tr>`` elements with ``class``
|
|
alternating between ``row1`` and ``row2``; the subtemplate will have
|
|
access to ``rowcolors`` in it's context that matches the class of the
|
|
``<tr>`` that encloses it. If the ``silent`` keyword were to be
|
|
omitted, ``row1`` would be emitted as normal text, outside the
|
|
``<tr>`` element.
|
|
|
|
When the silent keyword is used on a cycle definition, the silence
|
|
automatically applies to all subsequent uses of the cycle tag. In,
|
|
the following template would output *nothing*, even though the second
|
|
call to ``{% cycle %}`` doesn't specify silent::
|
|
|
|
{% cycle 'row1' 'row2' as rowcolors silent %}
|
|
{% cycle rowcolors %}
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: debug
|
|
|
|
debug
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Outputs a whole load of debugging information, including the current context
|
|
and imported modules.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: extends
|
|
|
|
extends
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Signals that this template extends a parent template.
|
|
|
|
This tag can be used in two ways:
|
|
|
|
* ``{% extends "base.html" %}`` (with quotes) uses the literal value
|
|
``"base.html"`` as the name of the parent template to extend.
|
|
|
|
* ``{% extends variable %}`` uses the value of ``variable``. If the variable
|
|
evaluates to a string, Django will use that string as the name of the
|
|
parent template. If the variable evaluates to a ``Template`` object,
|
|
Django will use that object as the parent template.
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`template-inheritance` for more information.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: filter
|
|
|
|
filter
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Filters the contents of the variable through variable filters.
|
|
|
|
Filters can also be piped through each other, and they can have arguments --
|
|
just like in variable syntax.
|
|
|
|
Sample usage::
|
|
|
|
{% filter force_escape|lower %}
|
|
This text will be HTML-escaped, and will appear in all lowercase.
|
|
{% endfilter %}
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The :tfilter:`escape` and :tfilter:`safe` filters are not acceptable
|
|
arguments. Instead, use the :ttag:`autoescape` tag to manage autoescaping
|
|
for blocks of template code.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: firstof
|
|
|
|
firstof
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Outputs the first variable passed that is not False. Does NOT auto-escape
|
|
variable values.
|
|
|
|
Outputs nothing if all the passed variables are False.
|
|
|
|
Sample usage::
|
|
|
|
{% firstof var1 var2 var3 %}
|
|
|
|
This is equivalent to::
|
|
|
|
{% if var1 %}
|
|
{{ var1|safe }}
|
|
{% else %}{% if var2 %}
|
|
{{ var2|safe }}
|
|
{% else %}{% if var3 %}
|
|
{{ var3|safe }}
|
|
{% endif %}{% endif %}{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
You can also use a literal string as a fallback value in case all
|
|
passed variables are False::
|
|
|
|
{% firstof var1 var2 var3 "fallback value" %}
|
|
|
|
Note that the variables included in the firstof tag will not be
|
|
escaped. This is because template tags do not escape their content.
|
|
Any HTML or Javascript code contained in the printed variable will be
|
|
rendered as-is, which could potentially lead to security issues. If you
|
|
need to escape the variables in the firstof tag, you must do so
|
|
explicitly::
|
|
|
|
{% filter force_escape %}
|
|
{% firstof var1 var2 var3 "fallback value" %}
|
|
{% endfilter %}
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: for
|
|
|
|
for
|
|
^^^
|
|
|
|
Loop over each item in an array. For example, to display a list of athletes
|
|
provided in ``athlete_list``::
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
{% for athlete in athlete_list %}
|
|
<li>{{ athlete.name }}</li>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
You can loop over a list in reverse by using
|
|
``{% for obj in list reversed %}``.
|
|
|
|
If you need to loop over a list of lists, you can unpack the values
|
|
in each sub-list into individual variables. For example, if your context
|
|
contains a list of (x,y) coordinates called ``points``, you could use the
|
|
following to output the list of points::
|
|
|
|
{% for x, y in points %}
|
|
There is a point at {{ x }},{{ y }}
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
This can also be useful if you need to access the items in a dictionary.
|
|
For example, if your context contained a dictionary ``data``, the following
|
|
would display the keys and values of the dictionary::
|
|
|
|
{% for key, value in data.items %}
|
|
{{ key }}: {{ value }}
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
The for loop sets a number of variables available within the loop:
|
|
|
|
========================== ===============================================
|
|
Variable Description
|
|
========================== ===============================================
|
|
``forloop.counter`` The current iteration of the loop (1-indexed)
|
|
``forloop.counter0`` The current iteration of the loop (0-indexed)
|
|
``forloop.revcounter`` The number of iterations from the end of the
|
|
loop (1-indexed)
|
|
``forloop.revcounter0`` The number of iterations from the end of the
|
|
loop (0-indexed)
|
|
``forloop.first`` True if this is the first time through the loop
|
|
``forloop.last`` True if this is the last time through the loop
|
|
``forloop.parentloop`` For nested loops, this is the loop "above" the
|
|
current one
|
|
========================== ===============================================
|
|
|
|
for ... empty
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The ``for`` tag can take an optional ``{% empty %}`` clause that will be
|
|
displayed if the given array is empty or could not be found::
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
{% for athlete in athlete_list %}
|
|
<li>{{ athlete.name }}</li>
|
|
{% empty %}
|
|
<li>Sorry, no athlete in this list!</li>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
The above is equivalent to -- but shorter, cleaner, and possibly faster
|
|
than -- the following::
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
{% if athlete_list %}
|
|
{% for athlete in athlete_list %}
|
|
<li>{{ athlete.name }}</li>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
{% else %}
|
|
<li>Sorry, no athletes in this list.</li>
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: if
|
|
|
|
if
|
|
^^
|
|
|
|
The ``{% if %}`` tag evaluates a variable, and if that variable is "true" (i.e.
|
|
exists, is not empty, and is not a false boolean value) the contents of the
|
|
block are output::
|
|
|
|
{% if athlete_list %}
|
|
Number of athletes: {{ athlete_list|length }}
|
|
{% elif athlete_in_locker_room_list %}
|
|
Athletes should be out of the locker room soon!
|
|
{% else %}
|
|
No athletes.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
In the above, if ``athlete_list`` is not empty, the number of athletes will be
|
|
displayed by the ``{{ athlete_list|length }}`` variable.
|
|
|
|
As you can see, the ``if`` tag may take one or several `` {% elif %}``
|
|
clauses, as well as an ``{% else %}`` clause that will be displayed if all
|
|
previous conditions fail. These clauses are optional.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
The ``if`` tag now supports ``{% elif %}`` clauses.
|
|
|
|
Boolean operators
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
:ttag:`if` tags may use ``and``, ``or`` or ``not`` to test a number of
|
|
variables or to negate a given variable::
|
|
|
|
{% if athlete_list and coach_list %}
|
|
Both athletes and coaches are available.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
{% if not athlete_list %}
|
|
There are no athletes.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
{% if athlete_list or coach_list %}
|
|
There are some athletes or some coaches.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
{% if not athlete_list or coach_list %}
|
|
There are no athletes or there are some coaches (OK, so
|
|
writing English translations of boolean logic sounds
|
|
stupid; it's not our fault).
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
{% if athlete_list and not coach_list %}
|
|
There are some athletes and absolutely no coaches.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
Use of both ``and`` and ``or`` clauses within the same tag is allowed, with
|
|
``and`` having higher precedence than ``or`` e.g.::
|
|
|
|
{% if athlete_list and coach_list or cheerleader_list %}
|
|
|
|
will be interpreted like:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
if (athlete_list and coach_list) or cheerleader_list
|
|
|
|
Use of actual parentheses in the :ttag:`if` tag is invalid syntax. If you need
|
|
them to indicate precedence, you should use nested :ttag:`if` tags.
|
|
|
|
:ttag:`if` tags may also use the operators ``==``, ``!=``, ``<``, ``>``,
|
|
``<=``, ``>=`` and ``in`` which work as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
``==`` operator
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Equality. Example::
|
|
|
|
{% if somevar == "x" %}
|
|
This appears if variable somevar equals the string "x"
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
``!=`` operator
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Inequality. Example::
|
|
|
|
{% if somevar != "x" %}
|
|
This appears if variable somevar does not equal the string "x",
|
|
or if somevar is not found in the context
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
``<`` operator
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Less than. Example::
|
|
|
|
{% if somevar < 100 %}
|
|
This appears if variable somevar is less than 100.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
``>`` operator
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Greater than. Example::
|
|
|
|
{% if somevar > 0 %}
|
|
This appears if variable somevar is greater than 0.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
``<=`` operator
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Less than or equal to. Example::
|
|
|
|
{% if somevar <= 100 %}
|
|
This appears if variable somevar is less than 100 or equal to 100.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
``>=`` operator
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Greater than or equal to. Example::
|
|
|
|
{% if somevar >= 1 %}
|
|
This appears if variable somevar is greater than 1 or equal to 1.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
``in`` operator
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Contained within. This operator is supported by many Python containers to test
|
|
whether the given value is in the container. The following are some examples
|
|
of how ``x in y`` will be interpreted::
|
|
|
|
{% if "bc" in "abcdef" %}
|
|
This appears since "bc" is a substring of "abcdef"
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
{% if "hello" in greetings %}
|
|
If greetings is a list or set, one element of which is the string
|
|
"hello", this will appear.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
{% if user in users %}
|
|
If users is a QuerySet, this will appear if user is an
|
|
instance that belongs to the QuerySet.
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
``not in`` operator
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Not contained within. This is the negation of the ``in`` operator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The comparison operators cannot be 'chained' like in Python or in mathematical
|
|
notation. For example, instead of using::
|
|
|
|
{% if a > b > c %} (WRONG)
|
|
|
|
you should use::
|
|
|
|
{% if a > b and b > c %}
|
|
|
|
|
|
Filters
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
You can also use filters in the :ttag:`if` expression. For example::
|
|
|
|
{% if messages|length >= 100 %}
|
|
You have lots of messages today!
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
Complex expressions
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
All of the above can be combined to form complex expressions. For such
|
|
expressions, it can be important to know how the operators are grouped when the
|
|
expression is evaluated - that is, the precedence rules. The precedence of the
|
|
operators, from lowest to highest, is as follows:
|
|
|
|
* ``or``
|
|
* ``and``
|
|
* ``not``
|
|
* ``in``
|
|
* ``==``, ``!=``, ``<``, ``>``, ``<=``, ``>=``
|
|
|
|
(This follows Python exactly). So, for example, the following complex
|
|
:ttag:`if` tag:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: django
|
|
|
|
{% if a == b or c == d and e %}
|
|
|
|
...will be interpreted as:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
(a == b) or ((c == d) and e)
|
|
|
|
If you need different precedence, you will need to use nested :ttag:`if` tags.
|
|
Sometimes that is better for clarity anyway, for the sake of those who do not
|
|
know the precedence rules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: ifchanged
|
|
|
|
ifchanged
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Check if a value has changed from the last iteration of a loop.
|
|
|
|
The ``{% ifchanged %}`` block tag is used within a loop. It has two possible
|
|
uses.
|
|
|
|
1. Checks its own rendered contents against its previous state and only
|
|
displays the content if it has changed. For example, this displays a list of
|
|
days, only displaying the month if it changes::
|
|
|
|
<h1>Archive for {{ year }}</h1>
|
|
|
|
{% for date in days %}
|
|
{% ifchanged %}<h3>{{ date|date:"F" }}</h3>{% endifchanged %}
|
|
<a href="{{ date|date:"M/d"|lower }}/">{{ date|date:"j" }}</a>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
2. If given one or more variables, check whether any variable has changed.
|
|
For example, the following shows the date every time it changes, while
|
|
showing the hour if either the hour or the date has changed::
|
|
|
|
{% for date in days %}
|
|
{% ifchanged date.date %} {{ date.date }} {% endifchanged %}
|
|
{% ifchanged date.hour date.date %}
|
|
{{ date.hour }}
|
|
{% endifchanged %}
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
The ``ifchanged`` tag can also take an optional ``{% else %}`` clause that
|
|
will be displayed if the value has not changed::
|
|
|
|
{% for match in matches %}
|
|
<div style="background-color:
|
|
{% ifchanged match.ballot_id %}
|
|
{% cycle "red" "blue" %}
|
|
{% else %}
|
|
grey
|
|
{% endifchanged %}
|
|
">{{ match }}</div>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: ifequal
|
|
|
|
ifequal
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Output the contents of the block if the two arguments equal each other.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
{% ifequal user.id comment.user_id %}
|
|
...
|
|
{% endifequal %}
|
|
|
|
As in the :ttag:`if` tag, an ``{% else %}`` clause is optional.
|
|
|
|
The arguments can be hard-coded strings, so the following is valid::
|
|
|
|
{% ifequal user.username "adrian" %}
|
|
...
|
|
{% endifequal %}
|
|
|
|
It is only possible to compare an argument to template variables or strings.
|
|
You cannot check for equality with Python objects such as ``True`` or
|
|
``False``. If you need to test if something is true or false, use the
|
|
:ttag:`if` tag instead.
|
|
|
|
An alternative to the ``ifequal`` tag is to use the :ttag:`if` tag and the
|
|
``==`` operator.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: ifnotequal
|
|
|
|
ifnotequal
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Just like :ttag:`ifequal`, except it tests that the two arguments are not
|
|
equal.
|
|
|
|
An alternative to the ``ifnotequal`` tag is to use the :ttag:`if` tag and
|
|
the ``!=`` operator.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: include
|
|
|
|
include
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Loads a template and renders it with the current context. This is a way of
|
|
"including" other templates within a template.
|
|
|
|
The template name can either be a variable or a hard-coded (quoted) string,
|
|
in either single or double quotes.
|
|
|
|
This example includes the contents of the template ``"foo/bar.html"``::
|
|
|
|
{% include "foo/bar.html" %}
|
|
|
|
This example includes the contents of the template whose name is contained in
|
|
the variable ``template_name``::
|
|
|
|
{% include template_name %}
|
|
|
|
An included template is rendered with the context of the template that's
|
|
including it. This example produces the output ``"Hello, John"``:
|
|
|
|
* Context: variable ``person`` is set to ``"john"``.
|
|
* Template::
|
|
|
|
{% include "name_snippet.html" %}
|
|
|
|
* The ``name_snippet.html`` template::
|
|
|
|
{{ greeting }}, {{ person|default:"friend" }}!
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.3
|
|
Additional context and exclusive context.
|
|
|
|
You can pass additional context to the template using keyword arguments::
|
|
|
|
{% include "name_snippet.html" with person="Jane" greeting="Hello" %}
|
|
|
|
If you want to only render the context with the variables provided (or even
|
|
no variables at all), use the ``only`` option::
|
|
|
|
{% include "name_snippet.html" with greeting="Hi" only %}
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The :ttag:`include` tag should be considered as an implementation of
|
|
"render this subtemplate and include the HTML", not as "parse this
|
|
subtemplate and include its contents as if it were part of the parent".
|
|
This means that there is no shared state between included templates --
|
|
each include is a completely independent rendering process.
|
|
|
|
See also: :ttag:`{% ssi %}<ssi>`.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: load
|
|
|
|
load
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
Loads a custom template tag set.
|
|
|
|
For example, the following template would load all the tags and filters
|
|
registered in ``somelibrary`` and ``otherlibrary`` located in package
|
|
``package``::
|
|
|
|
{% load somelibrary package.otherlibrary %}
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.3
|
|
|
|
You can also selectively load individual filters or tags from a library, using
|
|
the ``from`` argument. In this example, the template tags/filters named ``foo``
|
|
and ``bar`` will be loaded from ``somelibrary``::
|
|
|
|
{% load foo bar from somelibrary %}
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`Custom tag and filter libraries </howto/custom-template-tags>` for
|
|
more information.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: now
|
|
|
|
now
|
|
^^^
|
|
|
|
Displays the current date and/or time, using a format according to the given
|
|
string. Such string can contain format specifiers characters as described
|
|
in the :tfilter:`date` filter section.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
It is {% now "jS F Y H:i" %}
|
|
|
|
Note that you can backslash-escape a format string if you want to use the
|
|
"raw" value. In this example, "f" is backslash-escaped, because otherwise
|
|
"f" is a format string that displays the time. The "o" doesn't need to be
|
|
escaped, because it's not a format character::
|
|
|
|
It is the {% now "jS o\f F" %}
|
|
|
|
This would display as "It is the 4th of September".
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The format passed can also be one of the predefined ones
|
|
:setting:`DATE_FORMAT`, :setting:`DATETIME_FORMAT`,
|
|
:setting:`SHORT_DATE_FORMAT` or :setting:`SHORT_DATETIME_FORMAT`.
|
|
The predefined formats may vary depending on the current locale and
|
|
if :ref:`format-localization` is enabled, e.g.::
|
|
|
|
It is {% now "SHORT_DATETIME_FORMAT" %}
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: regroup
|
|
|
|
regroup
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Regroups a list of alike objects by a common attribute.
|
|
|
|
This complex tag is best illustrated by way of an example: say that "places" is a list of cities represented by dictionaries containing ``"name"``, ``"population"``, and ``"country"`` keys:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
cities = [
|
|
{'name': 'Mumbai', 'population': '19,000,000', 'country': 'India'},
|
|
{'name': 'Calcutta', 'population': '15,000,000', 'country': 'India'},
|
|
{'name': 'New York', 'population': '20,000,000', 'country': 'USA'},
|
|
{'name': 'Chicago', 'population': '7,000,000', 'country': 'USA'},
|
|
{'name': 'Tokyo', 'population': '33,000,000', 'country': 'Japan'},
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
...and you'd like to display a hierarchical list that is ordered by country, like this:
|
|
|
|
* India
|
|
* Mumbai: 19,000,000
|
|
* Calcutta: 15,000,000
|
|
* USA
|
|
* New York: 20,000,000
|
|
* Chicago: 7,000,000
|
|
* Japan
|
|
* Tokyo: 33,000,000
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can use the ``{% regroup %}`` tag to group the list of cities by country.
|
|
The following snippet of template code would accomplish this::
|
|
|
|
{% regroup cities by country as country_list %}
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
{% for country in country_list %}
|
|
<li>{{ country.grouper }}
|
|
<ul>
|
|
{% for item in country.list %}
|
|
<li>{{ item.name }}: {{ item.population }}</li>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
Let's walk through this example. ``{% regroup %}`` takes three arguments: the
|
|
list you want to regroup, the attribute to group by, and the name of the
|
|
resulting list. Here, we're regrouping the ``cities`` list by the ``country``
|
|
attribute and calling the result ``country_list``.
|
|
|
|
``{% regroup %}`` produces a list (in this case, ``country_list``) of
|
|
**group objects**. Each group object has two attributes:
|
|
|
|
* ``grouper`` -- the item that was grouped by (e.g., the string "India" or
|
|
"Japan").
|
|
* ``list`` -- a list of all items in this group (e.g., a list of all cities
|
|
with country='India').
|
|
|
|
Note that ``{% regroup %}`` does not order its input! Our example relies on
|
|
the fact that the ``cities`` list was ordered by ``country`` in the first place.
|
|
If the ``cities`` list did *not* order its members by ``country``, the
|
|
regrouping would naively display more than one group for a single country. For
|
|
example, say the ``cities`` list was set to this (note that the countries are not
|
|
grouped together):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
cities = [
|
|
{'name': 'Mumbai', 'population': '19,000,000', 'country': 'India'},
|
|
{'name': 'New York', 'population': '20,000,000', 'country': 'USA'},
|
|
{'name': 'Calcutta', 'population': '15,000,000', 'country': 'India'},
|
|
{'name': 'Chicago', 'population': '7,000,000', 'country': 'USA'},
|
|
{'name': 'Tokyo', 'population': '33,000,000', 'country': 'Japan'},
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
With this input for ``cities``, the example ``{% regroup %}`` template code
|
|
above would result in the following output:
|
|
|
|
* India
|
|
* Mumbai: 19,000,000
|
|
* USA
|
|
* New York: 20,000,000
|
|
* India
|
|
* Calcutta: 15,000,000
|
|
* Japan
|
|
* Tokyo: 33,000,000
|
|
|
|
The easiest solution to this gotcha is to make sure in your view code that the
|
|
data is ordered according to how you want to display it.
|
|
|
|
Another solution is to sort the data in the template using the
|
|
:tfilter:`dictsort` filter, if your data is in a list of dictionaries::
|
|
|
|
{% regroup cities|dictsort:"country" by country as country_list %}
|
|
|
|
Grouping on other properties
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Any valid template lookup is a legal grouping attribute for the regroup
|
|
tag, including methods, attributes, dictionary keys and list items. For
|
|
example, if the "country" field is a foreign key to a class with
|
|
an attribute "description," you could use::
|
|
|
|
{% regroup cities by country.description as country_list %}
|
|
|
|
Or, if ``country`` is a field with ``choices``, it will have a
|
|
:meth:`^django.db.models.Model.get_FOO_display` method available as an
|
|
attribute, allowing you to group on the display string rather than the
|
|
``choices`` key::
|
|
|
|
{% regroup cities by get_country_display as country_list %}
|
|
|
|
``{{ country.grouper }}`` will now display the value fields from the
|
|
``choices`` set rather than the keys.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: spaceless
|
|
|
|
spaceless
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Removes whitespace between HTML tags. This includes tab
|
|
characters and newlines.
|
|
|
|
Example usage::
|
|
|
|
{% spaceless %}
|
|
<p>
|
|
<a href="foo/">Foo</a>
|
|
</p>
|
|
{% endspaceless %}
|
|
|
|
This example would return this HTML::
|
|
|
|
<p><a href="foo/">Foo</a></p>
|
|
|
|
Only space between *tags* is removed -- not space between tags and text. In
|
|
this example, the space around ``Hello`` won't be stripped::
|
|
|
|
{% spaceless %}
|
|
<strong>
|
|
Hello
|
|
</strong>
|
|
{% endspaceless %}
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: ssi
|
|
|
|
ssi
|
|
^^^
|
|
|
|
Outputs the contents of a given file into the page.
|
|
|
|
Like a simple :ttag:`include` tag, ``{% ssi %}`` includes the contents of
|
|
another file -- which must be specified using an absolute path -- in the
|
|
current page::
|
|
|
|
{% ssi '/home/html/ljworld.com/includes/right_generic.html' %}
|
|
|
|
The first parameter of ``ssi`` can be a quoted literal or any other context
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
If the optional "parsed" parameter is given, the contents of the included
|
|
file are evaluated as template code, within the current context::
|
|
|
|
{% ssi '/home/html/ljworld.com/includes/right_generic.html' parsed %}
|
|
|
|
Note that if you use ``{% ssi %}``, you'll need to define
|
|
:setting:`ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS` in your Django settings, as a security
|
|
measure.
|
|
|
|
See also: :ttag:`{% include %}<include>`.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: templatetag
|
|
|
|
templatetag
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Outputs one of the syntax characters used to compose template tags.
|
|
|
|
Since the template system has no concept of "escaping", to display one of the
|
|
bits used in template tags, you must use the ``{% templatetag %}`` tag.
|
|
|
|
The argument tells which template bit to output:
|
|
|

|
|
.. templatetag:: url
|
|
|
|
url
|
|
^^^
|
|
|
|
Returns an absolute path reference (a URL without the domain name) matching a
|
|
given view function and optional parameters. This is a way to output links
|
|
without violating the DRY principle by having to hard-code URLs in your
|
|
templates::
|
|
|
|
{% url 'path.to.some_view' v1 v2 %}
|
|
|
|
The first argument is a path to a view function in the format
|
|
``package.package.module.function``. It can be a quoted literal or any other
|
|
context variable. Additional arguments are optional and
|
|
should be space-separated values that will be used as arguments in the URL.
|
|
The example above shows passing positional arguments. Alternatively you may
|
|
use keyword syntax::
|
|
|
|
{% url 'path.to.some_view' arg1=v1 arg2=v2 %}
|
|
|
|
Do not mix both positional and keyword syntax in a single call. All arguments
|
|
required by the URLconf should be present.
|
|
|
|
For example, suppose you have a view, ``app_views.client``, whose URLconf
|
|
takes a client ID (here, ``client()`` is a method inside the views file
|
|
``app_views.py``). The URLconf line might look like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
('^client/(\d+)/$', 'app_views.client')
|
|
|
|
If this app's URLconf is included into the project's URLconf under a path
|
|
such as this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
('^clients/', include('project_name.app_name.urls'))
|
|
|
|
...then, in a template, you can create a link to this view like this::
|
|
|
|
{% url 'app_views.client' client.id %}
|
|
|
|
The template tag will output the string ``/clients/client/123/``.
|
|
|
|
If you're using :ref:`named URL patterns <naming-url-patterns>`, you can
|
|
refer to the name of the pattern in the ``url`` tag instead of using the
|
|
path to the view.
|
|
|
|
Note that if the URL you're reversing doesn't exist, you'll get an
|
|
:exc:`^django.core.urlresolvers.NoReverseMatch` exception raised, which will
|
|
cause your site to display an error page.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to retrieve a URL without displaying it, you can use a slightly
|
|
different call::
|
|
|
|
|
|
{% url 'path.to.view' arg arg2 as the_url %}
|
|
|
|
<a href="{{ the_url }}">I'm linking to {{ the_url }}</a>
|
|
|
|
This ``{% url ... as var %}`` syntax will *not* cause an error if the view is
|
|
missing. In practice you'll use this to link to views that are optional::
|
|
|
|
{% url 'path.to.view' as the_url %}
|
|
{% if the_url %}
|
|
<a href="{{ the_url }}">Link to optional stuff</a>
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to retrieve a namespaced URL, specify the fully qualified name::
|
|
|
|
{% url 'myapp:view-name' %}
|
|
|
|
This will follow the normal :ref:`namespaced URL resolution strategy
|
|
<topics-http-reversing-url-namespaces>`, including using any hints provided
|
|
by the context as to the current application.
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: verbatim
|
|
|
|
verbatim
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.5
|
|
|
|
Stops the template engine from rendering the contents of this block tag.
|
|
|
|
A common use is to allow a Javascript template layer that collides with
|
|
Django's syntax. For example::
|
|
|
|
{% verbatim %}
|
|
{{if dying}}Still alive.{{/if}}
|
|
{% endverbatim %}
|
|
|
|
You can also designate a specific closing tag, allowing the use of
|
|
``{% endverbatim %}`` as part of the unrendered contents::
|
|
|
|
{% verbatim myblock %}
|
|
Avoid template rendering via the {% verbatim %}{% endverbatim %} block.
|
|
{% endverbatim myblock %}
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: widthratio
|
|
|
|
widthratio
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
For creating bar charts and such, this tag calculates the ratio of a given
|
|
value to a maximum value, and then applies that ratio to a constant.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
<img src="bar.png" alt="Bar"
|
|
height="10" width="{% widthratio this_value max_value 100 %}" />
|
|
|
|
Above, if ``this_value`` is 175 and ``max_value`` is 200, the image in the
|
|
above example will be 88 pixels wide (because 175/200 = .875; .875 * 100 = 87.5
|
|
which is rounded up to 88).
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: with
|
|
|
|
with
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.3
|
|
New keyword argument format and multiple variable assignments.
|
|
|
|
Caches a complex variable under a simpler name. This is useful when accessing
|
|
an "expensive" method (e.g., one that hits the database) multiple times.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{% with total=business.employees.count %}
|
|
{{ total }} employee{{ total|pluralize }}
|
|
{% endwith %}
|
|
|
|
The populated variable (in the example above, ``total``) is only available
|
|
between the ``{% with %}`` and ``{% endwith %}`` tags.
|
|
|
|
You can assign more than one context variable::
|
|
|
|
{% with alpha=1 beta=2 %}
|
|
...
|
|
{% endwith %}
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The previous more verbose format is still supported:
|
|
``{% with business.employees.count as total %}``
|
|
|
|
.. _ref-templates-builtins-filters:
|
|
|
|
Built-in filter reference
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: add
|
|
|
|
add
|
|
^^^
|
|
|
|
Adds the argument to the value.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|add:"2" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``4``, then the output will be ``6``.
|
|
|
|
This filter will first try to coerce both values to integers. If this fails,
|
|
it'll attempt to add the values together anyway. This will work on some data
|
|
types (strings, list, etc.) and fail on others. If it fails, the result will
|
|
be an empty string.
|
|
|
|
For example, if we have::
|
|
|
|
{{ first|add:second }}
|
|
|
|
and ``first`` is ``[1, 2, 3]`` and ``second`` is ``[4, 5, 6]``, then the
|
|
output will be ``[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]``.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
Strings that can be coerced to integers will be **summed**, not
|
|
concatenated, as in the first example above.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: addslashes
|
|
|
|
addslashes
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Adds slashes before quotes. Useful for escaping strings in CSV, for example.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|addslashes }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"I'm using Django"``, the output will be
|
|
``"I\'m using Django"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: capfirst
|
|
|
|
capfirst
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Capitalizes the first character of the value.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|capfirst }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"django"``, the output will be ``"Django"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: center
|
|
|
|
center
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Centers the value in a field of a given width.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
"{{ value|center:"15" }}"
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Django"``, the output will be ``" Django "``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: cut
|
|
|
|
cut
|
|
^^^
|
|
|
|
Removes all values of arg from the given string.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|cut:" "}}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"String with spaces"``, the output will be
|
|
``"Stringwithspaces"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: date
|
|
|
|
date
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
Formats a date according to the given format.
|
|
|
|
Uses a similar format as PHP's ``date()`` function (http://php.net/date)
|
|
with some differences.
|
|
|
|
Available format strings:
|
|
|
|
================ ======================================== =====================
|
|

|
|
================ ======================================== =====================
|
|
a ``'a.m.'`` or ``'p.m.'`` (Note that ``'a.m.'``
|
|
this is slightly different than PHP's

.. versionadded:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
The ``e`` and ``o`` format specification characters were added in Django 1.4.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|date:"D d M Y" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is a ``datetime`` object (e.g., the result of
|
|
``datetime.datetime.now()``), the output will be the string
|
|
``'Wed 09 Jan 2008'``.
|
|
|
|
The format passed can be one of the predefined ones :setting:`DATE_FORMAT`,
|
|
:setting:`DATETIME_FORMAT`, :setting:`SHORT_DATE_FORMAT` or
|
|
:setting:`SHORT_DATETIME_FORMAT`, or a custom format that uses the format
|
|
specifiers shown in the table above. Note that predefined formats may vary
|
|
depending on the current locale.
|
|
|
|
Assuming that :setting:`USE_L10N` is ``True`` and :setting:`LANGUAGE_CODE` is,
|
|
for example, ``"es"``, then for::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|date:"SHORT_DATE_FORMAT" }}
|
|
|
|
the output would be the string ``"09/01/2008"`` (the ``"SHORT_DATE_FORMAT"``
|
|
format specifier for the ``es`` locale as shipped with Django is ``"d/m/Y"``).
|
|
|
|
When used without a format string::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|date }}
|
|
|
|
...the formatting string defined in the :setting:`DATE_FORMAT` setting will be
|
|
used, without applying any localization.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: default
|
|
|
|
default
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
If value evaluates to ``False``, uses the given default. Otherwise, uses the
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|default:"nothing" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``""`` (the empty string), the output will be ``nothing``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: default_if_none
|
|
|
|
default_if_none
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
If (and only if) value is ``None``, uses the given default. Otherwise, uses the
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
Note that if an empty string is given, the default value will *not* be used.
|
|
Use the :tfilter:`default` filter if you want to fallback for empty strings.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|default_if_none:"nothing" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``None``, the output will be the string ``"nothing"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: dictsort
|
|
|
|
dictsort
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Takes a list of dictionaries and returns that list sorted by the key given in
|
|
the argument.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|dictsort:"name" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
[
|
|
{'name': 'zed', 'age': 19},
|
|
{'name': 'amy', 'age': 22},
|
|
{'name': 'joe', 'age': 31},
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
then the output would be:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
[
|
|
{'name': 'amy', 'age': 22},
|
|
{'name': 'joe', 'age': 31},
|
|
{'name': 'zed', 'age': 19},
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: dictsortreversed
|
|
|
|
dictsortreversed
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Takes a list of dictionaries and returns that list sorted in reverse order by
|
|
the key given in the argument. This works exactly the same as the above filter,
|
|
but the returned value will be in reverse order.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: divisibleby
|
|
|
|
divisibleby
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Returns ``True`` if the value is divisible by the argument.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|divisibleby:"3" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``21``, the output would be ``True``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: escape
|
|
|
|
escape
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Escapes a string's HTML. Specifically, it makes these replacements:
|
|
|
|
* ``<`` is converted to ``<``
|
|
* ``>`` is converted to ``>``
|
|
* ``'`` (single quote) is converted to ``'``
|
|
* ``"`` (double quote) is converted to ``"``
|
|
* ``&`` is converted to ``&``
|
|
|
|
The escaping is only applied when the string is output, so it does not matter
|
|
where in a chained sequence of filters you put ``escape``: it will always be
|
|
applied as though it were the last filter. If you want escaping to be applied
|
|
immediately, use the :tfilter:`force_escape` filter.
|
|
|
|
Applying ``escape`` to a variable that would normally have auto-escaping
|
|
applied to the result will only result in one round of escaping being done. So
|
|
it is safe to use this function even in auto-escaping environments. If you want
|
|
multiple escaping passes to be applied, use the :tfilter:`force_escape` filter.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: escapejs
|
|
|
|
escapejs
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Escapes characters for use in JavaScript strings. This does *not* make the
|
|
string safe for use in HTML, but does protect you from syntax errors when using
|
|
templates to generate JavaScript/JSON.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|escapejs }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"testing\r\njavascript \'string" <b>escaping</b>"``,
|
|
the output will be ``"testing\\u000D\\u000Ajavascript \\u0027string\\u0022 \\u003Cb\\u003Eescaping\\u003C/b\\u003E"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: filesizeformat
|
|
|
|
filesizeformat
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Formats the value like a 'human-readable' file size (i.e. ``'13 KB'``,
|
|
``'4.1 MB'``, ``'102 bytes'``, etc).
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|filesizeformat }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is 123456789, the output would be ``117.7 MB``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: first
|
|
|
|
first
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Returns the first item in a list.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|first }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is the list ``['a', 'b', 'c']``, the output will be ``'a'``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: fix_ampersands
|
|
|
|
fix_ampersands
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This is rarely useful as ampersands are automatically escaped. See
|
|
:tfilter:`escape` for more information.
|
|
|
|
Replaces ampersands with ``&`` entities.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|fix_ampersands }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``Tom & Jerry``, the output will be ``Tom & Jerry``.
|
|
|
|
However, ampersands used in named entities and numeric character references
|
|
will not be replaced. For example, if ``value`` is ``Café``, the output
|
|
will *not* be ``Caf&eacute;`` but remain ``Café``. This means that
|
|
in some edge cases, such as acronyms followed by semicolons, this filter will
|
|
not replace ampersands that need replacing. For example, if ``value`` is
|
|
``Contact the R&D;``, the output will remain unchanged because ``&D;``
|
|
resembles a named entity.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: floatformat
|
|
|
|
floatformat
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
When used without an argument, rounds a floating-point number to one decimal
|
|
place -- but only if there's a decimal part to be displayed. For example:
|
|
|
|
============ =========================== ========
|
|
``value`` Template Output
|
|
============ =========================== ========
|
|
``34.23234`` ``{{ value|floatformat }}`` ``34.2``
|
|
``34.00000`` ``{{ value|floatformat }}`` ``34``
|
|
``34.26000`` ``{{ value|floatformat }}`` ``34.3``
|
|
============ =========================== ========
|
|
|
|
If used with a numeric integer argument, ``floatformat`` rounds a number to
|
|
that many decimal places. For example:
|
|
|
|
============ ============================= ==========
|
|
``value`` Template Output
|
|
============ ============================= ==========
|
|
``34.23234`` ``{{ value|floatformat:3 }}`` ``34.232``
|
|
``34.00000`` ``{{ value|floatformat:3 }}`` ``34.000``
|
|
``34.26000`` ``{{ value|floatformat:3 }}`` ``34.260``
|
|
============ ============================= ==========
|
|
|
|
If the argument passed to ``floatformat`` is negative, it will round a number
|
|
to that many decimal places -- but only if there's a decimal part to be
|
|
displayed. For example:
|
|
|
|
============ ================================ ==========
|
|
``value`` Template Output
|
|
============ ================================ ==========
|
|
``34.23234`` ``{{ value|floatformat:"-3" }}`` ``34.232``
|
|
``34.00000`` ``{{ value|floatformat:"-3" }}`` ``34``
|
|
``34.26000`` ``{{ value|floatformat:"-3" }}`` ``34.260``
|
|
============ ================================ ==========
|
|
|
|
Using ``floatformat`` with no argument is equivalent to using ``floatformat``
|
|
with an argument of ``-1``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: force_escape
|
|
|
|
force_escape
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Applies HTML escaping to a string (see the :tfilter:`escape` filter for
|
|
details). This filter is applied *immediately* and returns a new, escaped
|
|
string. This is useful in the rare cases where you need multiple escaping or
|
|
want to apply other filters to the escaped results. Normally, you want to use
|
|
the :tfilter:`escape` filter.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: get_digit
|
|
|
|
get_digit
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Given a whole number, returns the requested digit, where 1 is the right-most
|
|
digit, 2 is the second-right-most digit, etc. Returns the original value for
|
|
invalid input (if input or argument is not an integer, or if argument is less
|
|
than 1). Otherwise, output is always an integer.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|get_digit:"2" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``123456789``, the output will be ``8``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: iriencode
|
|
|
|
iriencode
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Converts an IRI (Internationalized Resource Identifier) to a string that is
|
|
suitable for including in a URL. This is necessary if you're trying to use
|
|
strings containing non-ASCII characters in a URL.
|
|
|
|
It's safe to use this filter on a string that has already gone through the
|
|
:tfilter:`urlencode` filter.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|iriencode }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"?test=1&me=2"``, the output will be ``"?test=1&me=2"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: join
|
|
|
|
join
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
Joins a list with a string, like Python's ``str.join(list)``
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|join:" // " }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is the list ``['a', 'b', 'c']``, the output will be the string
|
|
``"a // b // c"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: last
|
|
|
|
last
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
Returns the last item in a list.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|last }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is the list ``['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']``, the output will be the
|
|
string ``"d"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: length
|
|
|
|
length
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Returns the length of the value. This works for both strings and lists.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|length }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']``, the output will be ``4``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: length_is
|
|
|
|
length_is
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Returns ``True`` if the value's length is the argument, or ``False`` otherwise.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|length_is:"4" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']``, the output will be ``True``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: linebreaks
|
|
|
|
linebreaks
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Replaces line breaks in plain text with appropriate HTML; a single
|
|
newline becomes an HTML line break (``<br />``) and a new line
|
|
followed by a blank line becomes a paragraph break (``</p>``).
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|linebreaks }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``Joel\nis a slug``, the output will be ``<p>Joel<br />is a
|
|
slug</p>``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: linebreaksbr
|
|
|
|
linebreaksbr
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Converts all newlines in a piece of plain text to HTML line breaks
|
|
(``<br />``).
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|linebreaksbr }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``Joel\nis a slug``, the output will be ``Joel<br />is a
|
|
slug``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: linenumbers
|
|
|
|
linenumbers
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Displays text with line numbers.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|linenumbers }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is::
|
|
|
|
one
|
|
two
|
|
three
|
|
|
|
the output will be::
|
|
|
|
1. one
|
|
2. two
|
|
3. three
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: ljust
|
|
|
|
ljust
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Left-aligns the value in a field of a given width.
|
|
|
|
**Argument:** field size
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
"{{ value|ljust:"10" }}"
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``Django``, the output will be ``"Django "``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: lower
|
|
|
|
lower
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Converts a string into all lowercase.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|lower }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``Still MAD At Yoko``, the output will be
|
|
``still mad at yoko``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: make_list
|
|
|
|
make_list
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Returns the value turned into a list. For a string, it's a list of characters.
|
|
For an integer, the argument is cast into an unicode string before creating a
|
|
list.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|make_list }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is the string ``"Joel"``, the output would be the list
|
|
``[u'J', u'o', u'e', u'l']``. If ``value`` is ``123``, the output will be the
|
|
list ``[u'1', u'2', u'3']``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: phone2numeric
|
|
|
|
phone2numeric
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Converts a phone number (possibly containing letters) to its numerical
|
|
equivalent.
|
|
|
|
The input doesn't have to be a valid phone number. This will happily convert
|
|
any string.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|phone2numeric }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``800-COLLECT``, the output will be ``800-2655328``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: pluralize
|
|
|
|
pluralize
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Returns a plural suffix if the value is not 1. By default, this suffix is
|
|
``'s'``.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
You have {{ num_messages }} message{{ num_messages|pluralize }}.
|
|
|
|
If ``num_messages`` is ``1``, the output will be ``You have 1 message.``
|
|
If ``num_messages`` is ``2`` the output will be ``You have 2 messages.``
|
|
|
|
For words that require a suffix other than ``'s'``, you can provide an alternate
|
|
suffix as a parameter to the filter.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
You have {{ num_walruses }} walrus{{ num_walruses|pluralize:"es" }}.
|
|
|
|
For words that don't pluralize by simple suffix, you can specify both a
|
|
singular and plural suffix, separated by a comma.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
You have {{ num_cherries }} cherr{{ num_cherries|pluralize:"y,ies" }}.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Use :ttag:`blocktrans` to pluralize translated strings.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: pprint
|
|
|
|
pprint
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
A wrapper around :func:`pprint.pprint` -- for debugging, really.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: random
|
|
|
|
random
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Returns a random item from the given list.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|random }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is the list ``['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']``, the output could be ``"b"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: removetags
|
|
|
|
removetags
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Removes a space-separated list of [X]HTML tags from the output.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|removetags:"b span"|safe }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"<b>Joel</b> <button>is</button> a <span>slug</span>"`` the
|
|
output will be ``"Joel <button>is</button> a slug"``.
|
|
|
|
Note that this filter is case-sensitive.
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"<B>Joel</B> <button>is</button> a <span>slug</span>"`` the
|
|
output will be ``"<B>Joel</B> <button>is</button> a slug"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: rjust
|
|
|
|
rjust
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Right-aligns the value in a field of a given width.
|
|
|
|
**Argument:** field size
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
"{{ value|rjust:"10" }}"
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``Django``, the output will be ``" Django"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: safe
|
|
|
|
safe
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
Marks a string as not requiring further HTML escaping prior to output. When
|
|
autoescaping is off, this filter has no effect.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
If you are chaining filters, a filter applied after ``safe`` can
|
|
make the contents unsafe again. For example, the following code
|
|
prints the variable as is, unescaped:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html+django
|
|
|
|
{{ var|safe|escape }}
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: safeseq
|
|
|
|
safeseq
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Applies the :tfilter:`safe` filter to each element of a sequence. Useful in
|
|
conjunction with other filters that operate on sequences, such as
|
|
:tfilter:`join`. For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ some_list|safeseq|join:", " }}
|
|
|
|
You couldn't use the :tfilter:`safe` filter directly in this case, as it would
|
|
first convert the variable into a string, rather than working with the
|
|
individual elements of the sequence.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: slice
|
|
|
|
slice
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Returns a slice of the list.
|
|
|
|
Uses the same syntax as Python's list slicing. See
|
|
http://diveintopython.net/native_data_types/lists.html#odbchelper.list.slice
|
|
for an introduction.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
{{ some_list|slice:":2" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``some_list`` is ``['a', 'b', 'c']``, the output will be ``['a', 'b']``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: slugify
|
|
|
|
slugify
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Converts to lowercase, removes non-word characters (alphanumerics and
|
|
underscores) and converts spaces to hyphens. Also strips leading and trailing
|
|
whitespace.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|slugify }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Joel is a slug"``, the output will be ``"joel-is-a-slug"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: stringformat
|
|
|
|
stringformat
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Formats the variable according to the argument, a string formatting specifier.
|
|
This specifier uses Python string formatting syntax, with the exception that
|
|
the leading "%" is dropped.
|
|
|
|
See http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting-operations
|
|
for documentation of Python string formatting
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|stringformat:"s" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Joel is a slug"``, the output will be ``"Joel is a slug"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: striptags
|
|
|
|
striptags
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Strips all [X]HTML tags.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|striptags }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"<b>Joel</b> <button>is</button> a <span>slug</span>"``, the
|
|
output will be ``"Joel is a slug"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: time
|
|
|
|
time
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
Formats a time according to the given format.
|
|
|
|
Given format can be the predefined one :setting:`TIME_FORMAT`, or a custom
|
|
format, same as the :tfilter:`date` filter. Note that the predefined format
|
|
is locale-dependant.
|
|
|
|
The time filter will only accept parameters in the format string that relate
|
|
to the time of day, not the date (for obvious reasons). If you need to
|
|
format a date, use the :tfilter:`date` filter.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|time:"H:i" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is equivalent to ``datetime.datetime.now()``, the output will be
|
|
the string ``"01:23"``.
|
|
|
|
Another example:
|
|
|
|
Assuming that :setting:`USE_L10N` is ``True`` and :setting:`LANGUAGE_CODE` is,
|
|
for example, ``"de"``, then for::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|time:"TIME_FORMAT" }}
|
|
|
|
the output will be the string ``"01:23:00"`` (The ``"TIME_FORMAT"`` format
|
|
specifier for the ``de`` locale as shipped with Django is ``"H:i:s"``).
|
|
|
|
When used without a format string::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|time }}
|
|
|
|
...the formatting string defined in the :setting:`TIME_FORMAT` setting will be
|
|
used, without applying any localization.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: timesince
|
|
|
|
timesince
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Formats a date as the time since that date (e.g., "4 days, 6 hours").
|
|
|
|
Takes an optional argument that is a variable containing the date to use as
|
|
the comparison point (without the argument, the comparison point is *now*).
|
|
For example, if ``blog_date`` is a date instance representing midnight on 1
|
|
June 2006, and ``comment_date`` is a date instance for 08:00 on 1 June 2006,
|
|
then ``{{ blog_date|timesince:comment_date }}`` would return "8 hours".
|
|
|
|
Comparing offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes will return an empty string.
|
|
|
|
Minutes is the smallest unit used, and "0 minutes" will be returned for any
|
|
date that is in the future relative to the comparison point.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: timeuntil
|
|
|
|
timeuntil
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Similar to ``timesince``, except that it measures the time from now until the
|
|
given date or datetime. For example, if today is 1 June 2006 and
|
|
``conference_date`` is a date instance holding 29 June 2006, then
|
|
``{{ conference_date|timeuntil }}`` will return "4 weeks".
|
|
|
|
Takes an optional argument that is a variable containing the date to use as
|
|
the comparison point (instead of *now*). If ``from_date`` contains 22 June
|
|
2006, then ``{{ conference_date|timeuntil:from_date }}`` will return "1 week".
|
|
|
|
Comparing offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes will return an empty string.
|
|
|
|
Minutes is the smallest unit used, and "0 minutes" will be returned for any
|
|
date that is in the past relative to the comparison point.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: title
|
|
|
|
title
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Converts a string into titlecase.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|title }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"my first post"``, the output will be ``"My First Post"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: truncatechars
|
|
|
|
truncatechars
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
Truncates a string if it is longer than the specified number of characters.
|
|
Truncated strings will end with a translatable ellipsis sequence ("...").
|
|
|
|
**Argument:** Number of characters to truncate to
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|truncatechars:9 }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Joel is a slug"``, the output will be ``"Joel i..."``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: truncatewords
|
|
|
|
truncatewords
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Truncates a string after a certain number of words.
|
|
|
|
**Argument:** Number of words to truncate after
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|truncatewords:2 }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Joel is a slug"``, the output will be ``"Joel is ..."``.
|
|
|
|
Newlines within the string will be removed.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: truncatewords_html
|
|
|
|
truncatewords_html
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Similar to :tfilter:`truncatewords`, except that it is aware of HTML tags. Any
|
|
tags that are opened in the string and not closed before the truncation point,
|
|
are closed immediately after the truncation.
|
|
|
|
This is less efficient than :tfilter:`truncatewords`, so should only be used
|
|
when it is being passed HTML text.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|truncatewords_html:2 }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"<p>Joel is a slug</p>"``, the output will be
|
|
``"<p>Joel is ...</p>"``.
|
|
|
|
Newlines in the HTML content will be preserved.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: unordered_list
|
|
|
|
unordered_list
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Recursively takes a self-nested list and returns an HTML unordered list --
|
|
WITHOUT opening and closing <ul> tags.
|
|
|
|
The list is assumed to be in the proper format. For example, if ``var``
|
|
contains ``['States', ['Kansas', ['Lawrence', 'Topeka'], 'Illinois']]``, then
|
|
``{{ var|unordered_list }}`` would return::
|
|
|
|
<li>States
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Kansas
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Lawrence</li>
|
|
<li>Topeka</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Illinois</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
Note: An older, more restrictive and verbose input format is also supported:
|
|
``['States', [['Kansas', [['Lawrence', []], ['Topeka', []]]], ['Illinois', []]]]``,
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: upper
|
|
|
|
upper
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Converts a string into all uppercase.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|upper }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Joel is a slug"``, the output will be ``"JOEL IS A SLUG"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: urlencode
|
|
|
|
urlencode
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Escapes a value for use in a URL.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|urlencode }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"http://www.example.org/foo?a=b&c=d"``, the output will be
|
|
``"http%3A//www.example.org/foo%3Fa%3Db%26c%3Dd"``.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.3
|
|
|
|
An optional argument containing the characters which should not be escaped can
|
|
be provided.
|
|
|
|
If not provided, the '/' character is assumed safe. An empty string can be
|
|
provided when *all* characters should be escaped. For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|urlencode:"" }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"http://www.example.org/"``, the output will be
|
|
``"http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.org%2F"``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: urlize
|
|
|
|
urlize
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Converts URLs in text into clickable links.
|
|
|
|
This template tag works on links prefixed with ``http://``, ``https://``, or
|
|
``www.``. For example, ``http://goo.gl/aia1t`` will get converted but
|
|
``goo.gl/aia1t`` won't.
|
|
|
|
It also supports domain-only links ending in one of the original top level
|
|
domains (``.com``, ``.edu``, ``.gov``, ``.int``, ``.mil``, ``.net``, and
|
|
``.org``). For example, ``djangoproject.com`` gets converted.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
Until Django 1.4, only the ``.com``, ``.net`` and ``.org`` suffixes were
|
|
supported for domain-only links.
|
|
|
|
Links can have trailing punctuation (periods, commas, close-parens) and leading
|
|
punctuation (opening parens), and ``urlize`` will still do the right thing.
|
|
|
|
Links generated by ``urlize`` have a ``rel="nofollow"`` attribute added
|
|
to them.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|urlize }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Check out www.djangoproject.com"``, the output will be
|
|
``"Check out <a href="http://www.djangoproject.com"
|
|
rel="nofollow">www.djangoproject.com</a>"``.
|
|
|
|
The ``urlize`` filter also takes an optional parameter ``autoescape``. If
|
|
``autoescape`` is ``True``, the link text and URLs will be escaped using
|
|
Django's built-in :tfilter:`escape` filter. The default value for
|
|
``autoescape`` is ``True``.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
If ``urlize`` is applied to text that already contains HTML markup,
|
|
things won't work as expected. Apply this filter only to plain text.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: urlizetrunc
|
|
|
|
urlizetrunc
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Converts URLs into clickable links just like urlize_, but truncates URLs
|
|
longer than the given character limit.
|
|
|
|
**Argument:** Number of characters that link text should be truncated to,
|
|
including the ellipsis that's added if truncation is necessary.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|urlizetrunc:15 }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Check out www.djangoproject.com"``, the output would be
|
|
``'Check out <a href="http://www.djangoproject.com"
|
|
rel="nofollow">www.djangopr...</a>'``.
|
|
|
|
As with urlize_, this filter should only be applied to plain text.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: wordcount
|
|
|
|
wordcount
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Returns the number of words.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|wordcount }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``"Joel is a slug"``, the output will be ``4``.
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: wordwrap
|
|
|
|
wordwrap
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Wraps words at specified line length.
|
|
|
|
**Argument:** number of characters at which to wrap the text
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|wordwrap:5 }}
|
|
|
|
If ``value`` is ``Joel is a slug``, the output would be::
|
|
|
|
Joel
|
|
is a
|
|
slug
|
|
|
|
.. templatefilter:: yesno
|
|
|
|
yesno
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Maps values for true, false and (optionally) None, to the strings "yes", "no",
|
|
"maybe", or a custom mapping passed as a comma-separated list, and
|
|
returns one of those strings according to the value:
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{{ value|yesno:"yeah,no,maybe" }}
|
|
|
|
========== ====================== ==================================
|
|
Value Argument Outputs
|
|
========== ====================== ==================================
|
|
``True`` ``yes``
|
|
``True`` ``"yeah,no,maybe"`` ``yeah``
|
|
``False`` ``"yeah,no,maybe"`` ``no``
|
|
``None`` ``"yeah,no,maybe"`` ``maybe``
|
|
``None`` ``"yeah,no"`` ``"no"`` (converts None to False
|
|
if no mapping for None is given)
|
|
========== ====================== ==================================
|
|
|
|
Internationalization tags and filters
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Django provides template tags and filters to control each aspect of
|
|
:doc:`internationalization </topics/i18n/index>` in templates. They allow for
|
|
granular control of translations, formatting, and time zone conversions.
|
|
|
|
i18n
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
This library allows specifying translatable text in templates.
|
|
To enable it, set :setting:`USE_I18N` to ``True``, then load it with
|
|
``{% load i18n %}``.
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`specifying-translation-strings-in-template-code`.
|
|
|
|
l10n
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
This library provides control over the localization of values in templates.
|
|
You only need to load the library using ``{% load l10n %}``, but you'll often
|
|
set :setting:`USE_L10N` to ``True`` so that localization is active by default.
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`topic-l10n-templates`.
|
|
|
|
tz
|
|
^^
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
This library provides control over time zone conversions in templates.
|
|
Like ``l10n``, you only need to load the library using ``{% load tz %}``,
|
|
but you'll usually also set :setting:`USE_TZ` to ``True`` so that conversion
|
|
to local time happens by default.
|
|
|
|

Other tags and filters libraries
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Django comes with a couple of other template-tag libraries that you have to
|
|
enable explicitly in your :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` setting and enable in your
|
|
template with the :ttag:`{% load %}<load>` tag.
|
|
|
|
django.contrib.humanize
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
A set of Django template filters useful for adding a "human touch" to data. See
|
|
:doc:`/ref/contrib/humanize`.
|
|
|
|
django.contrib.markup
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
A collection of template filters that implement these common markup languages:
|
|
|
|
* Textile
|
|
* Markdown
|
|
* reST (reStructuredText)
|
|
|
|
See the :doc:`markup documentation </ref/contrib/markup>`.
|
|
|
|
django.contrib.webdesign
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
A collection of template tags that can be useful while designing a Web site,
|
|
such as a generator of Lorem Ipsum text. See :doc:`/ref/contrib/webdesign`.
|
|
|
|
static
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: static
|
|
|
|
static
|
|
""""""
|
|
|
|
.. highlight:: html+django
|
|
|
|
To link to static files that are saved in :setting:`STATIC_ROOT` Django ships
|
|
with a :ttag:`static` template tag. You can use this regardless if you're
|
|
using :class:`~django.template.RequestContext` or not.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html+django
|
|
|
|
{% load static %}
|
|
<img src="{% static "images/hi.jpg" %}" alt="Hi!" />
|
|
|
|
It is also able to consume standard context variables, e.g. assuming a
|
|
``user_stylesheet`` variable is passed to the template:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html+django
|
|
|
|
{% load static %}
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static user_stylesheet %}" type="text/css" media="screen" />
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to retrieve a static URL without displaying it, you can use a
|
|
slightly different call::
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.5
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html+django
|
|
|
|
{% load static %}
|
|
{% static "images/hi.jpg" as myphoto %}
|
|
<img src="{{ myphoto }}"></img>
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`staticfiles<django.contrib.staticfiles>` contrib app also ships
|
|
with a :ttag:`static template tag<staticfiles-static>` which uses
|
|
``staticfiles'`` :setting:`STATICFILES_STORAGE` to build the URL of the
|
|
given path. Use that instead if you have an advanced use case such as
|
|
:ref:`using a cloud service to serve static files<staticfiles-from-cdn>`::
|
|
|
|
{% load static from staticfiles %}
|
|
<img src="{% static "images/hi.jpg" %}" alt="Hi!" />
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: get_static_prefix
|
|
|
|
get_static_prefix
|
|
"""""""""""""""""
|
|
|
|
.. highlight:: html+django
|
|
|
|
If you're not using :class:`~django.template.RequestContext`, or if you need
|
|
more control over exactly where and how :setting:`STATIC_URL` is injected
|
|
into the template, you can use the :ttag:`get_static_prefix` template tag
|
|
instead::
|
|
|
|
{% load static %}
|
|
<img src="{% get_static_prefix %}images/hi.jpg" alt="Hi!" />
|
|
|
|
There's also a second form you can use to avoid extra processing if you need
|
|
the value multiple times::
|
|
|
|
{% load static %}
|
|
{% get_static_prefix as STATIC_PREFIX %}
|
|
|
|
<img src="{{ STATIC_PREFIX }}images/hi.jpg" alt="Hi!" />
|
|
<img src="{{ STATIC_PREFIX }}images/hi2.jpg" alt="Hello!" />
|
|
|
|
.. templatetag:: get_media_prefix
|
|
|
|
get_media_prefix
|
|
""""""""""""""""
|
|
|
|
.. highlight:: html+django
|
|
|
|
Similar to the :ttag:`get_static_prefix`, ``get_media_prefix`` populates a
|
|
template variable with the media prefix :setting:`MEDIA_URL`, e.g.::
|
|
|
|
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
|
|
var media_path = '{% get_media_prefix %}';
|
|
</script>
