如何在模板中迭代Django CHOICES - 不使用表单或模型实例

Question

I currently use choices to define a list of months and a list of days of the week.

I want to display these lists of choices in my templates without necessarily relating to a specific instance or form.

For instance...

In my models:

MONTH_CHOICES = (
    ('01', 'January'),
    ('02', 'February'),
    ('03', 'March'),
etc

DAY_CHOICES = (
    ('01', 'Monday'),
    ('02', 'Tuesday'),
    ('03', 'Wednesday'),
etc

class Item(models.Model):
    month = models.CharField(choices=MONTH_CHOICES)
    day = models.CharField(choices=DAY_CHOICES)

In my view:

month_choices = MONTH_CHOICES

In my template:

{% for month in month_choices %}
{{ month }}<br />
{% endfor %}

The above code outputs:

('01', 'January')
('02', 'February')
('03', 'March')

How do I output just the name (or value) of each choice?

Alternatively, is there a better way of recording a month and day of the week for a model - and later grouping/presenting instances using a month and a day?

THANKS! :)

Answer 1

There's a better way to do this.

{% for value, text in form.[field_name].field.choices %}
    {{ value }}: {{ text }}
{% endfor %}

form is the form variable you pass to the template. [field_name] is the field name you defined in your model. In this case 'month'

Answer 2

You can simply unpack the tuple when iterating over it:

{% for n, month in month_choices %}
{{ n }}, {{ month }}<br />
{% endfor %}

Answer 3

{% for month in month_choices %}
{{ month.1 }}<br />
{% endfor %}

Although semantically you should probably use <ul> and <li> rather than <br> .
