I have a dictionary inside a list. I want to access dictionary value inside django template. How can I get that? views.py

def payment_status(request): l1=[] cand = CandidateDetail.objects.all() for person in cand: for num in range(0,paid['count']): if paid['items'][num]['email']==person.email and paid['items'] [num]['status']=='authorized': cand_dict = {'first_name':person.first_name, 'last_name':person.last_name, 'email':person.email, 'paid':'Yes'} l1.append(cand_dict) return render(request, 'desk/payment_status.html',{'cand_list':l1})

html file 

<div class="col-md-10"> <h3>Candidate Payment Status</h3> <table class="cand_list"> <tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Email</th> <th>Payment Status</th> </tr> {% for candidate in cand_list %} <tr> <td>{{ candidate.first_name }} {{ candidate.last_name }}</td> <td>{{ candidate.email }}</td> <td>{{ candidate.paid }}</td> </tr> {% endfor %} </table> </div>

The error I am getting is -- Could not parse the remainder: '[item]['first_name']' from 'cand_list[item]['first_name']'

For a start, iterating over a range of the length of something is never the right thing to do - either in Python or in a template.

Secondly, in Django template language you always use dot notation, even for dictionary keys.

So, in your view:

for person in cand: for item in paid['items']: if item['email']== person.email and item['status']=='authorized': ....

and in your template:

 {% for item in cand_list %} <tr> <td>{{ item.first_name }} {{ item.last_name }}</td> <td>{{ item.email }}</td> <td>{{ item.paid }}</td> </tr> {% endfor %}

You can use {{ mydict.key }}

docs

 {% for candidate in cand_list %} <tr> <td>{{ candidate.first_name }} {{ candidate.last_name }}</td> <td>{{ candidate.email }}</td> <td>{{ candidate.paid }}</td> </tr> {% endfor %}

You don't need cand_len list, simply loop over cand_list (list of dict) and access with dict key.

<div class="col-md-10"> <h3>Candidate Payment Status</h3> <table class="cand_list"> <tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Email</th> <th>Payment Status</th> </tr> {% for item in cand_list %} <tr> <td>{{ item.first_name }} {{ item.last_name }}</td> .. .. </tr> {% endfor %} </table> </div>
