I'm trying my best not to repeat myself in my code but I'm encountering a problem looping through a dictionary by key in my template.
I have two dicts:
exampledict={'firstkey':firstval, 'secondkey':secondval}
keys=['firstkey', 'secondkey']
keydict={'keys':keys}
In my template I want to loop over the exampledict using the keydict:
<tr>
{% for val in keydict %}
<td>{{ exampledict.val }}</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
I've noticed this kind of combination of variables doesn't work at all, I tried by using:
{'firstkey':'firstkey'}
And sending that through to the template and later trying
{{ exampledict.firstkey }}
Is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do here?
Edit 1:
Manually going through each key as:
<td> {{ exampledict.firstkey }} </td> <td> {{ exampledict.secondkey }} </td>
Where firstkey and secondkey is the actual dictkey for exampledict works, although it makes for a lot of repetition.
Edit 2:
views.py
def tabletest(request):
exampledict={'firstkey':'firstval', 'secondkey': 'secondval'}
keydict={
'keys':['firstkey', 'secondkey']
}
return render(request, 'MinaFakturor/tabletest.html', {'exampledict':exampledict, 'keydict':keydict})
template
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
{% for val in keydict.keys %}
<th>{{ val }}</th>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
{% for val in keydict.keys %}
<td>{{ exampledict.val }}</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{ exampledict.firstkey }}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Which produces this result:
If I remove the exampledict.firstkey term, nothing is produced in the table body.

I need to put a counter in while loop in template. So I did:
<tbody>
{% with count=1 %}
{% while count <={{orders_count}}: %}
{% for order in orders %}
<tr>
<td style="width:5%;"></td>
<td>{{count}}</td>
<td>{{order.name}}</td>
</tr>
{% count+=1 %}
{% endfor %}
{% endwhile %}
{% endwith %}
</tbody>
But finaly I have the following error:
Invalid block tag on line 216: 'while', expected 'endwith'. Did you forget to register or load this tag?
You do not need a while loop here, you can simply make use of the |slice template filter [Django-doc]:
<tbody>
{% for order in orders|slice:orders_count %}
<tr>
<td style="width:5%;"></td>
<td>{{ forloop.counter }}</td>
<td>{{ order.name }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
But slicing, etc. does not really belong in the template. You normally do that in the view.
You can try this :
<tbody>
{% for order in orders %}
<tr>
<td style="width:5%;"></td>
<td>{{forloop.counter}}</td>
<td>{{order.name}}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
I have a flask server that is sending a dictionary to the frontend. I'm trying to sort the contents of the dictionary in the UI.
Here is how the dictionary is structured.
{
'Var1':
{
'weight':1,
'other_stuff':'foo'
},
'Var2':
{
'weight':0.5,
'other_stuff':'bar'
},
'Var3':
{
'weight':2,
'other_stuff':'baz'
},
...
}
The relevant snippet from the UI that isn't what I need to sort looks something like this. Note this works just fine, no errors, but it isn't sorting the data.
{% for key,var in d %}
<tr>
<td>{{ key }}</td>
{% if var['weight']>0.01 or var['weight']<-0.01 %}
<td>{{ var['weight'] }}</td>
{% else %}
<td>0.01</td>
{% endif %}
</tr>
{% endfor %}
What I want to do is to sort this dictionary when displaying it, obviously dictionaries have no ordering in python, by the weight. Desired output would be the data being displayed like this:
<tr>
<td>Var3</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Var1</td>
<td>1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Var2</td>
<td>0.5</td>
</tr>
I've tried to use do_dictsort filter, but it gave me an error because of how the data was organized. How do I sort this in the UI?
why don't you send the sorted dict to the front end..now you just have to loop.
here's how
data = sorted(d.items(), key=lambda x: x[1]['weight'], reverse=True)
{% for key,var in d %}
<table>
<tr>
<td>{{ key }}</td>
<td>{{ var['weight'] }}</td>
</tr>
</table>
{% endfor %}
Just wondering if Sessions can be used to create a quick compare view of two products on my Django app. I'm listing items for sale and would like a user to be able to 'like' multiple items then have a new view to compare the selected products. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Sure, just assign the list products to a session variable.
Then assign the products list to the template, which could look something like that:
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
{% for product in products %}
<th>{{ product.title }}</th>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Feature 1</th>
{% for product in products %}
<td>{{ product.feature1 }}</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Feature 2</th>
{% for product in products %}
<td>{{ product.feature2 }}</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
</table>
I'm trying to parse the following data structure in my HTML.
{'GROUPS': {'Group1': [{'key1':'value1','key2':'value2'}, {'key1':'value3', 'key2':'value4'}], 'Group2': [{'key1':'value5','key2':'value6'}, {'key1':'value7', 'key2':'value8'}]}}
The parsing code that I have is as follows:
<tbody>
{% for group,data in data|get_value:"GROUPS" %}
<tr>
<td>{{ group }}</td>
{% for v in data.items %}
<tr>
<td>{{ v|get_value:"key1" }}</td>
<td>{{ v|get_value:"key2" }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
get_value is the custom filter that I've written which basically takes the key and the data structure, and returns the value back.
But this isn't working. Can anyone help me figure out why? Thanks!
Firstly, for constant keys, you don't need a custom filter, this will work just fine:
{{ v.key1 }}
That said, data['GROUPS'] is a dict, and you want to iterate over its items, like you did with data.
data is a list though and doesn't need that:
<tbody>
{% for group, data in data.GROUPS.items %}
<tr>
<td>{{ group }}</td>
{% for v in data %}
<tr>
<td>{{ v.key1 }}</td>
<td>{{ v.key2 }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
I am trying to create HTML tables from data stored in a table. My data is read from a table and converted into a dict of lists, e.g.:
x = {'date':[u'2012-06-28', u'2012-06-29', u'2012-06-30'], 'users': [405, 368, 119]}
My goal is to create an HTML table with the following structure for an arbitrary list length:
<table>
<thead>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Users</th>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>2012-06-28</td>
<td>405</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2012-06-29</td>
<td>368</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2012-06-30</td>
<td>119</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I have tried doing this two incorrect ways in my Flask template:
<tbody>
{% for line in x %}
<tr>
<td>{{ x.date|tojson|safe }}</td>
<td>{{ x.users }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
Which prints the entire list into each column.
And:
{% for date in x.date %}
<tr><td>{{ date|tojson|safe }}</td></tr>
{% endfor %}
{% for users in x.users %}
<tr><td>{{ users }}</td></tr>
{% endfor %}
Which simply prints everything into the first column.
These experiments and many other dead ends lead me to believe that there is no simple way to build the table as I would like given my current data structure.
Given this, I have two questions:
1) How would I go about building the table using my current data structure?
2) What is the standard or ideal way to structure data for this use case?
Thanks in advance.
Like you said, you could either change your data structure, or change your template code. Here is one way to keep the current structure:
{% for row_index in range(x['date']|count) %}
<tr>
<td>{{ x[row_index]['date']|tojson|safe }}</td>
<td>{{ x[row_index]['users'] }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
Or you could restructure your data in python:
x = zip(x['date'], x['users'])
And then use this template:
{% for row in x %}
<tr>
<td>{{ row[0]|tojson|safe }}</td>
<td>{{ row[1] }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
You can also structure the data so that the template does not depend on the order of the cells:
from itertools import izip
x = [dict(date=d, user=u) for d, u in izip(x['date'], x['users'])]
Then you can access your data like this:
{% for row in x %}
<tr>
<td>{{ row['date']|tojson|safe }}</td>
<td>{{ row['user'] }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
You might use Flask-Table or for something more complex even leverage Flask-Admin.
Yeah, you really want to use a list of dictionaries instead of a dictionary of lists, that works out better with Jinja2
