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

I've just come up with the following which is looking good in Django 1.8

Try this instead of value is not False:

if value|stringformat:'r' != 'False'

Try this instead of value is True:

if value|stringformat:'r' == 'True'

unless you've been really messing with repr methods to make value look like a boolean I reckon this should give you a firm enough assurance that value is True or False.
