Django Template Ternary Operator
Why would you need a ternary operator within a template? {% if %} and {% else %} are all you need.
Or you could try the firstof tag:
{% firstof var1 var2 var3 %}which outputs the first one of var1, var2 or var3 which evaluates to a True value.
Just because they haven't been mentioned here yet: the built in template tags default, and default_if_none can be useful in simple circumstances:
default
If value evaluates to False, uses the given default. Otherwise, uses the value.
For example:
{{ value|default:"nothing" }}If value is "" (the empty string), the output will be nothing.
default_if_none
If (and only if) value is None, uses the given default. Otherwise, uses the >value.
Note that if an empty string is given, the default value will not be used. Use >the default filter if you want to fallback for empty strings.
For example:
{{ value|default_if_none:"nothing" }}If value is None, the output will be the string "nothing".
