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

The best solution for your problem is to use helper functions. If the choices are stored in the variable CHOICES and the model field storing the selected choice is 'choices' then you can directly use

 {{ x.get_choices_display }}

in your template. Here, x is the model instance. Hope it helps.
