Is there any way to get the model name of any objects in django templates. Manually, we can try it by defining methods in models or using template tags... But is there any built-in way?

What does {{ name }} this mean in Django Templates? {{ name }} will be the output. It will be displayed as name in HTML. The name will be replaced with values of Python variable.
It is a collection of three important components Model View and Template. The Model helps to handle database. It is a data access layer which handles the data. The Template is a presentation layer which handles User Interface part completely.
A Django template is a text document or a Python string marked-up using the Django template language. Some constructs are recognized and interpreted by the template engine. The main ones are variables and tags. A template is rendered with a context.
Usage: {% extends 'parent_template. html' %} . {% block %}{% endblock %}: This is used to define sections in your templates, so that if another template extends this one, it'll be able to replace whatever html code has been written inside of it.
object.__class__.__name__ or object._meta.object_name should give you the name of the model class. However, this cannot be used in templates because the attribute names start with an underscore.
There isn't a built in way to get at that value from the templates, so you'll have to define a model method that returns that attribute, or for a more generic/reusable solution, use a template filter:
@register.filter def to_class_name(value): return value.__class__.__name__ which you can use in your template as:
{{ obj | to_class_name }} If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
