I have a dictionary named income in a django template, I also have a list named factors in my template and I want something like this :
{% for factor in factors%} <div> {{ income[factor.id] }} </div> {% endfor %} but {{ income[factor.id] }} is wrong, how can I do something like this?
You could write a template tag like so:
@register.filter def get_value(d, key): return d.get(key) and use it like so:
{{ income|get_value:factor.id }} Edit: as pointed out by @kbnk, I was mistaken and this does not work.
If you don't want to create a filter, you can try the following:
{% for factor in factors %} {% with factor_id=factor.id %} <div> {{ income.factor_id] }} </div> {% endwith %} {% endfor %} This works, because you can do a dictionary-type lookout in django templates. Checkout the django template docs for more details: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#variables-and-lookups
'factor_id' as the dictionary key, not the value of the factor_id variable.
income and factors in some way in your view code, but otherwise you need a template filter.
