Django: passing JSON from view to template

Question

In views.py, I have time series data stored in a dictionary as follows:

time_series = {\"timestamp1\": occurrences, \"timestamp2\": occurrences}         


        

Answer 1

If a frontend library needs a to parse JSON, you can use the json library to convert a python dict to a JSON valid string. Use the escapejs filter

import json

def foo(request):
    json_string = json.dumps()
    render(request, "foo.html", {'time_series_json_string': json_string})
