Access a queryset's 'values_list' in Django template












1















I am trying to access the values_list of a query_set in a template.



In a view I have used the following if statement to determine whether an Outcome (model) exists for a given Participant (model):



if not form.cleaned_data['timepoint'] in patient.outcome_set.values_list('timepoint', flat=True):


This worked perfectly - now I want to be able to do something similar with the values_list in a template. However, when I try to limit the values_list to just the timepoint variable on the model, it throws a TemplateSyntaxError Could not parse the remainder: '('template')' from 'patient.outcome_set.values_list('template')'



If I print the values_list to the screen using {{ patient.outcome_set.values_list }} it prints all the values of each outcome fine, but I can't work out how to limit the values_list to just the timepoint variable.



Current template:



<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Patient</th>
<th>Baseline</th>
<th>Follow-up</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
{% for patient in patients %}
<tr>
<td>{{ patient.name }}</td>

{% if 'baseline' in patient.outcome_set.values_list('timepoint') %}
<td>INSERT TICK</td>
{% else %}
<td>INSERT CROSS</td>
{% endif %}

{% if 'followup' in patient.outcome_set.values_list('timepoint') %}
<td>INSERT TICK</td>
{% else %}
<td>INSERT CROSS</td>
{% endif %}

</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
</table>

          Though this kind of logic is more suited in views, you can use a custom template tag for this. Something like below.



          # extra_tags.py

          @register.filter
          def get_value_in_qs(queryset, key):
          return queryset.values(key, flat=True)


          Then you can use it in your template in this way:



          {% load extra_tags %}
          ...
          {% for patient in patients %}
          <tr>
          <td>{{ patient.name }}</td>

          {% if 'baseline' in patient.outcome_set|get_value_in_qs:'timepoint' %}
          # or for better readability use a with tag
          {% with patient_timepoint=patient.outcome_set|get_value_in_qs:'timepoint' %}
          {% if 'baseline' in patient_timepoint %} ...



          ....
