Django - iterate number in for loop of a template - django

Question

I have the following for loop in my django template displaying days. I wonder, whether it's possible to iterate a number (in the below case i) in a loop. Or do I have to store it in the database and then query it in form of days.day_number?
{% for days in days_list %}
<h2># Day {{ i }} - From {{ days.from_location }} to {{ days.to_location }}</h2>
{% endfor %}

Answer 1

Django provides it. You can use either:
{{ forloop.counter }} index starts at 1.
{{ forloop.counter0 }} index starts at 0.
In template, you can do:
{% for item in item_list %}
{{ forloop.counter }} # starting index 1
{{ forloop.counter0 }} # starting index 0
# do your stuff
{% endfor %}
More info at: for | Built-in template tags and filters | Django documentation

Answer 2

Also one can use this:
{% if forloop.first %}
or
{% if forloop.last %}

Answer 3

{% for days in days_list %}
<h2># Day {{ forloop.counter }} - From {{ days.from_location }} to {{ days.to_location }}</h2>
{% endfor %}
or if you want to start from 0
{% for days in days_list %}
<h2># Day {{ forloop.counter0 }} - From {{ days.from_location }} to {{ days.to_location }}</h2>
{% endfor %}

Answer 4

from the docs https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/templates/builtins/#for
you can found it to count items you can use a counter like this
{% for job in jobs %}
<td>{{ forloop.counter }}</td>
<td>{{ job.title }}</td>
<td>{{ job.job_url }}</td>
{% endfor %}
{{ forloop.counter }} start counting from 1
{{ forloop.counter0 }} start counting from 0

Answer 5

Do like this,
{% for days in days_list %}
<h2># Day {{ forloop.counter }} - From {{ days.from_location }} to {{ days.to_location }}</h2>
{% endfor %}

Answer 6

[Django HTML template doesn't support index as of now], but you can achieve the goal:
If you use Dictionary inside Dictionary in views.py then iteration is possible using key as index. example:
{% for key, value in DictionartResult.items %} <!-- dictionartResult is a dictionary having key value pair-->
<tr align="center">
<td bgcolor="Blue"><a href={{value.ProjectName}}><b>{{value.ProjectName}}</b></a></td>
<td> {{ value.atIndex0 }} </td> <!-- atIndex0 is a key which will have its value , you can treat this key as index to resolve-->
<td> {{ value.atIndex4 }} </td>
<td> {{ value.atIndex2 }} </td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
Elseif you use List inside dictionary then not only first and last iteration can be controlled, but all index can be controlled. example:
{% for key, value in DictionaryResult.items %}
<tr align="center">
{% for project_data in value %}
{% if forloop.counter <= 13 %} <!-- Here you can control the iteration-->
{% if forloop.first %}
<td bgcolor="Blue"><a href={{project_data}}><b> {{ project_data }} </b></a></td> <!-- it will always refer to project_data[0]-->
{% else %}
<td> {{ project_data }} </td> <!-- it will refer to all items in project_data[] except at index [0]-->
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</tr>
{% endfor %}
End If ;)
//
Hope have covered the solution with Dictionary, List, HTML template, For Loop, Inner loop, If Else.

I think you could call the id, like this
{% for days in days_list %}
<h2># Day {{ days.id }} - From {{ days.from_location }} to {{ days.to_location }}</h2>
{% endfor %}
