Django template convert to string

Question

Is there a way to convert a number to a string in django's template? Or do I need to make a custom template tag. Something like:

{{ 1|stringify }} # '1'

Answer 1

You can use stringformat to convert a variable to a string:

{{ value|stringformat:"i" }}

See documentation for formatting options (the leading % should not be included).

Answer 2

You can use {{ value|slugify }} (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/templates/builtins/).

Answer 3

just create a new template tag

from django import template

register = template.Library()


@register.filter
def to_str(value):
    """converts int to string"""
    return str(value)

and then go to your template and add in the top of the file

{% load to_str %}
<!-- add the filter to convert the value to string-->
{% number_variable|to_str  %}
