My dictionary looks like this(Dictionary within a dictionary):
{'0': {
'chosen_unit': <Unit: Kg>,
'cost': Decimal('10.0000'),
'unit__name_abbrev': u'G',
'supplier__supplier': u"Steve's Meat Locker",
'price': Decimal('5.00'),
'supplier__address': u'No\r\naddress here',
'chosen_unit_amount': u'2',
'city__name': u'Joburg, Central',
'supplier__phone_number': u'02299944444',
'supplier__website': None,
'supplier__price_list': u'',
'supplier__email': u'[email protected]',
'unit__name': u'Gram',
'name': u'Rump Bone',
}}
Now I'm just trying to display the information on my template but I'm struggling. My code for the template looks like:
{% if landing_dict.ingredients %}
<hr>
{% for ingredient in landing_dict.ingredients %}
{{ ingredient }}
{% endfor %}
<a href="/">Print {{ landing_dict.recipe_name }}</a>
{% else %}
Please search for an ingredient below
{% endif %}
It just shows me '0' on my template?
I also tried:
{% for ingredient in landing_dict.ingredients %}
{{ ingredient.cost }}
{% endfor %}
This doesn't even display a result.
I thought perhaps I need to iterate one level deeper so tried this:
{% if landing_dict.ingredients %}
<hr>
{% for ingredient in landing_dict.ingredients %}
{% for field in ingredient %}
{{ field }}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
<a href="/">Print {{ landing_dict.recipe_name }}</a>
{% else %}
Please search for an ingredient below
{% endif %}
But this doesn't display anything.
What am I doing wrong?
Lets say your data is -
data = {'a': [ [1, 2] ], 'b': [ [3, 4] ],'c':[ [5,6]] }
You can use the data.items()
method to get the dictionary elements. Note, in django templates we do NOT put ()
. Also some users mentioned values[0]
does not work, if that is the case then try values.items
.
<table>
<tr>
<td>a</td>
<td>b</td>
<td>c</td>
</tr>
{% for key, values in data.items %}
<tr>
<td>{{key}}</td>
{% for v in values[0] %}
<td>{{v}}</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
Am pretty sure you can extend this logic to your specific dict.
To iterate over dict keys in a sorted order - First we sort in python then iterate & render in django template.
return render_to_response('some_page.html', {'data': sorted(data.items())})
In template file:
{% for key, value in data %}
<tr>
<td> Key: {{ key }} </td>
<td> Value: {{ value }} </td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
