Determine variable type within django template

Question

I have a variable that I\'m pulling into a table that sometimes is a date and sometimes is a string. If the variable is a date, I want to change the formatting:

<         


        

Answer 1

You can try this to recognize String vs List type:

{%if v_1.0.1|length == 0%}
    
    {{v_1}}
{%else%}     
                                                
    {{v_1.0}}
{%endif%}
