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

I don't think there's any built-in way to do that. A filter might do the trick, though:

@register.filter(name='display')
def display_value(bf):
    """Returns the display value of a BoundField"""
    return dict(bf.field.choices).get(bf.data, '')

Then you can do:

{% for field in form %}
    
        {{ field.label }}:
        {{ field.data|display }}
    
{% endfor %}
