Django Templating: how to access properties of the first item in a list

Question

Pretty simple. I have a Python list that I am passing to a Django template.

I can specifically access the first item in this list using

{{ thelist|f         


        

Answer 1

You can combine the with template tag with the first template filter to access the property.

{% with thelist|first as first_object %}
    {{ first_object.propertyname }}
{% endwith %}
