A Django template is a text document or a Python string marked-up using the Django template language. Django being a powerful Batteries included framework provides convenience to rendering data in a template. Django templates not only allow paassing data from view to template, but also provides some limited features of a programming such as variables, for loops, etc.
This article revolves about how to use a variable in Template. A variable outputs a value from the context, which is a dict-like object mapping keys to values.
Syntax
{{ variable_name }}
Example
Variables are surrounded by {{ and }} like this:
My first name is {{ first_name }}. My last name is {{ last_name }}.
With a context of {'first_name': 'Naveen', 'last_name': 'Arora'}, this template renders to:
My first name is Naveen. My last name is Arora.
variables- Django templates Explanation
Illustration of How to use variables in Django templates using an Example. Consider a project named geeksforgeeks having an app named geeks.
Refer to the following articles to check how to create a project and an app in Django.
Now create a view through which we will pass the context dictionary,
In geeks/views.py,
# import render from django from django.shortcuts import render # create a function def geeks_view(request): # create a dictionary context = { "first_name" : "Naveen", "last_name" : "Arora", } # return response return render(request, "geeks.html", context) |
Create a url path to map to this view. In geeks/urls.py,
from django.urls import path # importing views from views..py from .views import geeks_view urlpatterns = [ path('', geeks_view), ] |
Create a template in templates/geeks.html,
My First Name is {{ first_name }}. <br/> My Last Name is {{ last_name }}. |
Let’s check is variables are displayed in the template.
