Django template how to look up a dictionary value with a variable

Question

mydict = {\"key1\":\"value1\", \"key2\":\"value2\"}

The regular way to lookup a dictionary value in a Django template is {{ mydict.key1 }}

Answer 1

Fetch both the key and the value from the dictionary in the loop:

{% for key, value in mydict.items %}
    {{ value }}
{% endfor %}

I find this easier to read and it avoids the need for special coding. I usually need the key and the value inside the loop anyway.
