Django templates: verbose version of a choice

Question

I have a model:

from django.db import models

CHOICES = (
    (\'s\', \'Glorious spam\'),
    (\'e\', \'Fabulous eggs\'),
)

class MealOrder(models.Model):
          


        

Answer 1

In Django templates you can use the "get_FOO_display()" method, that will return the readable alias for the field, where 'FOO' is the name of the field.

Note: in case the standard FormPreview templates are not using it, then you can always provide your own templates for that form, which will contain something like {{ form.get_meal_display }}.
