Django templates: If false?

Question

How do I check if a variable is False using Django template syntax?

{% if myvar == False %}

Doesn\'t seem to work.

Answer 1

You could write a custom template filter to do this in a half-dozen lines of code:

from django.template import Library

register = Library()

@register.filter
def is_false(arg): 
    return arg is False

Then in your template:

{% if myvar|is_false %}...{% endif %}

Of course, you could make that template tag much more generic... but this suits your needs specifically ;-)
