Django counter in loop to index list

Question

I\'m passing two lists to a template. Normally if I was iterating over a list I would do something like this

{% for i in list %}

but I hav

Answer 1

To access an iterable using a forloop counter I've coded the following very simple filter:

from django import template

register = template.Library()

@register.filter
def index(sequence, position):
    return sequence[position]

And then I can use it at my templates as (don't forget to load it):

{% for item in iterable1 %}
  {{ iterable2|index:forloop.counter0 }}
{% endfor %}

Hope this helps someone else!
