005 Inbuilt and Custom Template Tag Filter in Django

Inbuilt and Custom Template Tag Filter in Django

Inbuilt Filter

  • One can use in-built filters directly
  • See an example of in-built filters below. data.number is passed from view and 99 is added to the passed value before displaying

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>{% extends "mainApp/base.html" %}
    {% block body_block %}
        <div class="container">


            <div class="jumbotron">


                <h1>Welcome to a project about users</h1>


                <h2>{{ data.number|add:"99" }}</h2>


            </div>


        </div>


    {% endblock %}

Custom Filter

  • To create a custom filter as per your unique needs follow this process:
  • Inside app folder, create a folder named templatetags
  • Inside templatetags create a blank file named __init__.py. This tells python that templatetags is a package
  • Create another file named my_extras.py. This is where custom filters will be coded
  • The following example will show how to remove the word "World" from a string.

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>{% extends "mainApp/base.html" %}
    {% block body_block %}
        <div class="container">


            <div class="jumbotron">


                <h1>Welcome to a project about users</h1>


                <h2>{{ data.text|cut:"World" }}</h2>


            </div>


        </div>


    {% endblock %}
  • And the function will be written in app > templatetags > my_extras.py
# Create Own Template Filter
from django import template

register = template.Library()


@register.filter(name='cut')
def cutout(value, arg):
    """    This cuts out all the values of 'arg' from the string!    :param value:    :param arg:    :return:    """    return value.replace(arg, '')

# register.filter('cut', cutout)
  • And that's how we do it

Python - List - Append, Count, Extend, Index, Insert, Pop, Remove, Reverse, Sort

🐍 Advance List List is widely used and it's functionalities are heavily useful. Append Adds one element at the end of the list. Syntax list1.append(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append(4) l1 Output [1, 2, 3, 4] append can be used to add any datatype in a list. It can even add list inside list. Caution: Append does not return anything. It just appends the list. Count .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.count(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3] l1.count(3) Output 2 It returns 0 if the value is not found in the list. Extend .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.extend(list) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.extend([4, 5]) Output [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] If we use append, entire list will be added to the first list like one element. Extend, i nstead of considering a list as one element, it joins the two lists one after other. Append works in the following way. Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append([4, 5]) Output...

Difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose?

Here I answer what is the difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose? .exec() is used with a query while .execPopulate() is used with a document Syntax for .exec() is as follows: Model.query() . populate ( 'field' ) . exec () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); Syntax for .execPopulate() is as follows: fetchedDocument . populate ( 'field' ) . execPopulate () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); When working with individual document use .execPopulate(), for model query use .exec(). Both returns a promise. One can do without .exec() or .execPopulate() but then has to pass a callback in populate.
