Django: Converting uuid value to a string in django template engine

Question

I have this code of line that I need to be up and running.

<h4 class="page-header">
    {% if msg.sent_by_id == request.user.public_id|string %}
        {% if request.user.role == 'administrator' %}Admin Replied
        {% elif request.user.role == 'user' %}Your reply
        {% endif %}
    {% endif %}
</h4>

The problem is that these two values are the same, BUT both of them are other format. msg.sent_by_id is a string, neither request.user.public_id, this value is in uuid format. What is the correct way of 'converting' an variable to a string and then comparing the two values?

str (uuid) in your view and pass the str version into your template — Ahmet

I'm passing the whole json object -return render(request, 'service_desk/ticket_status.html', {'ticket': Ticket_obj, 'ticket_messages': Ticket_obj_messages}) — DzITC

You could use the string format template tag https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/templates/builtins/#stringformat

{% if msg.sent_by_id == request.user.public_id|stringformat:"s" %}
