'if' statement in jinja2 template
PythonTemplatesJinja2Python Problem Overview
I'm trying to write an if statement in jinja template:
{% for key in data %}
{% if key is 'priority' %}
<p>('Priority: ' + str(data[key])</p>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
the statement I'm trying to translate in Python is:
if key == priority:
print(print('Priority: ' + str(data[key]))
This is the error i'm getting:
> TemplateSyntaxError: expected token 'name', got 'string'
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
Why the loop?
You could simply do this:
{% if 'priority' in data %}
<p>Priority: {{ data['priority'] }}</p>
{% endif %}
When you were originally doing your string comparison, you should have used == instead.
Solution 2 - Python
We need to remember that the {% endif %} comes after the {% else %}.
So this is an example:
{% if someTest %}
<p> Something is True </p>
{% else %}
<p> Something is False </p>
{% endif %}
