When a navigation link is clicked and page is redirected to that link, I am trying to highlight the active link in the nav bar. I was able to achieve the highlighting by using if and else. But I would like to know is there any way better than this. Right now I have to duplicate this code again and again.

 <li class="nav-item"> <a {% if request.path == '/register' %} class="active nav-link" {% else %} class="nav-link" {% endif %} href=" {% url 'register' %} "> Register </a> </li>

If you set the nav item URL as a variable, you can use it for the href and a check to see if it's the current page.

{% url 'about' as url %} <li class="nav-item {% if request.path == url %}active{% endif %}"> <a class="nav-link" href="{{ url }}">About</a> </li>
