Question

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…

Answer 1

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 }}
