Ok, I'm wondering if there is any way to do this. Let me give a couple
of ***simplified*** examples to clarify what I'm talking about here. I
make "simplified" previously apparent because what I'm actually trying
to do is much more complicated than these examples.
View code:
======================
return render_to_response('/path/to/html' , {
'foo': {'bar': 'eggs'} ,
'spam': 'bar' ,
})
======================
Now, in my template I want to access {{ foo.bar }} via the dereferenced
*value* of "spam". Essentially, though I know this doesn't work, it
would look like this:
Template code:
======================
Output "eggs": {{ foo.{{ spam }} }}
======================
Is there any way at all to do something like that?
Here is another example, though I already know a workaround for it (at
the bottom), it seems like there should be a better way.
View code:
======================
list1 = ['one' , 'two' , 'three']
list2 = [1 , 2 , 3]
return render_to_response('/path/to/html' , {
'list1': list1 ,
'list2': list2 ,
})
======================
In the template, while looping through "list1", I want to be able to
directly access by index the corresponding value in "list2". I know the
following doesn't work, but again, it seems like there should be a way
to do this. Note that this is a greatly simplified version of what I'm
actually trying to accomplish!!
Template code:
======================
{% for item in list1 %}
<p>{{ item }}: {{ list2.{{ forloop.counter0 }} }}</p>
{% endfor %}
======================
Now, I know I can accomplish the above with a highly inefficient nested
loop:
Template code:
======================
{% for item in list1 %}
<p>{{ item }}:
{% for item2 in list2 %}
{% ifequal forloop.counter0 forloop.parentloop.counter0 %}
{{ item2 }}
{% endifequal %}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
======================
Essentially, is there any way of performing a nested dereference
operation like these?
