I'd like to be able to iterate over a dictionary while inside of a for loop in a Django template.
For the sake of this sample, consider the following:
items_list = [ {'key1':'value1', 'key2':'value2'}, {'key1':'value5', 'key2':'value9'} ]
Method #1:
{% for dict in items_list %}
{% for key,value in dict %}
<tr>
<td>{{ key }}</td>
<td>{{ value }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
Method #2:
{% for dict in items_list %}
{% for node in dict.items %}
<tr>
<td>{{ node.0 }}</td>
<td>{{ node.1 }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
Questions
- Why does Method #1 not work? That seems intuitive to me.
- Is the way I'm doing it in Method #2 ok or will that cause problems later on?
