Django Templating: how to access properties of the first item in a list
Pretty simple. I have a Python list that I am passing to a Django template.
I can specifically access the first item in this list using
{{ thelist|first }}
However, I also want to access a property of that item... ideally you'd think it would look like this:
{{ thelist|first.propertyName }}
But alas, it does not.
Is there any template solution to this, or am I just going to find myself passing an extra template variable...
You can access any item in a list via its index number. In a template this works the same as any other property lookup:
{{ thelist.0.propertyName }}
You can combine the with template tag with the first template filter to access the property.
{% with thelist|first as first_object %}
{{ first_object.propertyname }}
{% endwith %}
If you're trying to access a manytomany field, remember to add all, so it will look like object.m2m_field.all.0.item_property
a potentially clearer answer/syntax for accessing a ManyToManyField property in an object list provided to the django template would look like this:
{{ object_list.0.m2m_fieldname.all.0.item_property }}
