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

My apologies if this answer is redundant with any listed above, but it appears this one hasn't been offered yet, and it seems fairly clean. Here's how I've solved this:

from django.db import models

class Scoop(models.Model):
    FLAVOR_CHOICES = [
        ('c', 'Chocolate'),
        ('v', 'Vanilla'),
    ]

    flavor = models.CharField(choices=FLAVOR_CHOICES)

    def flavor_verbose(self):
        return dict(Scoop.FLAVOR_CHOCIES)[self.flavor]

My view passes a Scoop to the template (note: not Scoop.values()), and the template contains:

{{ scoop.flavor_verbose }}
