Access ForeignKey set directly in template in Django

Question

I have this simplified model:

class Item(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=120)

class ItemImage(models.Model):
    image = models.ImageF         


        

Answer 1

Or you could add a method to your Item model:

def get_first_image(self):
    return self.itemimage_set.all()[0]

and then call this method in your template:

{{ item.get_first_image }}

Or you could use:

{{ item.itemimage_set.all.0 }}

and to get the first image's url:

Though if you need more flexibility (more than one picture in certain cases, etc.) it's probably best to write a little templatetag.
