Tag: Template Tags

Django Built-In Template Tags in Views

Django’s built-in template tags are simply Python functions which means they can be used in places other than templates such as class-based views.

Here’s an example using pluralize:


from django.views.generic import ListView
from django.template.defaultfilters import pluralize
from myapp.models.Product
class MyView(ListView):
queryset = Product.objects.all()
template_name = 'product.html'
context_object_name = 'products'
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(MyView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['title'] = len(context['products']) + ' Product' + pluralize(context['products']) + ' Found'
return context
