How to use conditional if statements in Jinja 2?

Question

So I am new to Django and can use some help. I have used a for loop to display a list from my database. But I want to add an if statement such that, if the user input matches my database item, only then it should be displayed. Take a look :

{%for inc in all_items%}
    <ul>                 
        {#I want to add an if statement here, if user input == inc_element#}
        <li><p>{{inc.item_name}}<p></li>
    </ul>
    <hr>
{%endfor%}

I know I 'd have to use HTML forums for taking user input. But how do I match it in if statement. Help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

General conditional syntax is like this:

{% if some_variable == some_value %}
    {{ do_something }}
{% endif %}

Docs have some more examples.
