Iterating through two lists in Django templates

Question

I want to do the below list iteration in django templates:

foo = [\'foo\', \'bar\'];
moo = [\'moo\', \'loo\'];

for (a, b) in zip(foo, moo):
    print a, b
<         


        

Answer 1

Simply define zip as a template filter:

@register.filter(name='zip')
def zip_lists(a, b):
  return zip(a, b)

Then, in your template:

{%for a, b in first_list|zip:second_list %}
  {{a}}
  {{b}}
{%endfor%}
