Question

This is a quick question with the use of dict.keys()

I’m returning a dictionary in py file
Ex:

response['dict'] = {'a': [1,2,4], 'b': [5,6,7]}

And in the html i’m try to loop over using keys

{% if dict %}
  {% for list in dict.keys() %}
    list
  {% endfor %}
{endif}

This is throwing an error.

TemplateSyntaxError: Could not parse the remainder: ‘keys()’ from
‘dict.keys()

Need help here. How to use this in Django?

Answer 1

{% if dict %}
  {% for key, value in dict.items %}
    list
  {% endfor %}
{endif}

edit:

{% if dict %} is not needed – if given context’s variable is empty (or if it’s empty dict), it silently passes:

  {% for key, value in dict.items %}
    list
  {% endfor %}
