accessing a list of tuples in html

Question

I have a list of tuples called top_5 which are the top 5 users usernames and their corresponding post count.

This is a list that has 5 items and each item has 2 indexes.

{% for user in top_5 %}
   {{ user }}
{% endfor %}

returns the user and his post count but is there a way I can get them separately?

Answer 1

Is this a Django template? You can access index values in Django template using the dot notation:

{% for user in top_5 %}
    {{ user.0 }} {{ user.1 }}
{% endfor %}

And as mentioned in the comments, unpacking the tuples is also an option:

{% for username, post_count in top_5 %}
    {{ username }} {{ post_count }}
{% endfor %}
