Get first item of QuerySet in template

Question

In my blog app I want to display a list of blog posts and the first image connected to this post. Now I do it this way:

{% for image in entry.image_set.all|s         


        

Answer 1

Since Django 1.6 you can do

<img src="{{ entry.image_set.first.get_absolute_url }}">

Answer 2

Not any shorter, but you could use first:

{% with entry.image_set.all|first as image %}
  <img src="{{ image.get_absolute_url }}">
{% endwith %}

Answer 3

You also can do: entry.image_set.all.0 in your template.

<QuerySet [<StudentDetails: StudentDetails object (1)>, <StudentDetails: StudentDetails object (2)>]>
