Django: Display Choice Value

Question

models.py:

class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    CATEGORY_CHOICES = (
        (\'M\', \'Male\'),
              


        

Answer 1

For every field that has choices set, the object will have a get_FOO_display() method, where FOO is the name of the field. This method returns the “human-readable” value of the field.

In Views

person = Person.objects.filter(to_be_listed=True)
context['gender'] = person.get_gender_display()

In Template

{{ person.get_gender_display }}
