Comma separated lists in django templates


First choice: use the existing join template tag.

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#join

Here's their example

{{ value|join:" // " }}

Second choice: do it in the view.

fruits_text = ", ".join( fruits )

Provide fruits_text to the template for rendering.


Here's a super simple solution. Put this code into comma.html:

{% if not forloop.last %}{% ifequal forloop.revcounter 2 %} and {% else %}, {% endifequal %}{% else %}{% endif %}

And now wherever you'd put the comma, include "comma.html" instead:

{% for cat in cats %}Kitty {{cat.name}}{% include "comma.html" %}{% endfor %}

Update: @user3748764 gives us a slightly more compact version, without the deprecated ifequal syntax:

{% if not forloop.first %}{% if forloop.last %} and {% else %}, {% endif %}{% endif %}

Note that it should be used before the element, not after.


On the Django template this all you need to do for establishing a comma after each fruit. The comma will stop once its reached the last fruit.

{% if not forloop.last %}, {% endif %}
