I have a list of values in my view where I want to store some classes name and pass them to the template. Here is the list in the view: menu = ['','disabled','','',''] and my code for the template <li class="{{ menu|slice:"1:2"|first }}"></li>.
So far this is the only working code I came with, is there a better way to retrieve the element menu[2] from this list? what is the proper way in django to callback the element[n] of a list within the template?
menu.1 should work
if you know the exact index of your list, it could be cleaner and more explicit to do retrieval in your view.
context['menu_target'] = menu[1]
instead of having a list of empty values and accessing them in your template
menu.1 works very well, thx. I have 5 menu entries where I want to shift between the css classes active, disabled and '' (depending on the view). How would you do?An alternative is to get the element[n] that you need in your view, and pass it to the template directly.
Generally speaking, It's a better approch to pass to the template the data that you're going to actually use. So why pass a full list to use only one item of it?
