Django templates: If false?

Question

How do I check if a variable is False using Django template syntax?

{% if myvar == False %}

Doesn\'t seem to work.

Answer 1

Just ran into this again (certain I had before and came up with a less-than-satisfying solution).

For a tri-state boolean semantic (for example, using models.NullBooleanField), this works well:

{% if test.passed|lower == 'false' %} ... {% endif %}

Or if you prefer getting excited over the whole thing...

{% if test.passed|upper == 'FALSE' %} ... {% endif %}

Either way, this handles the special condition where you don't care about the None (evaluating to False in the if block) or True case.
