Numeric for loop in Django templates

Question

How do I write a numeric for loop in a Django template? I mean something like

for i = 1 to n

Answer 1

You should use "slice" in template, a example like this:

in views.py

contexts = {
    'ALL_STORES': Store.objects.all(),
}

return render_to_response('store_list.html', contexts, RequestContext(request, processors=[custom_processor]))

in store_list.html:

<ul>
{% for store in ALL_STORES|slice:":10" %}
    <li class="store_item">{{ store.name }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

Answer 2

{% with ''|center:n as range %}
{% for _ in range %}
    {{ forloop.counter }}
{% endfor %}
{% endwith %}

Answer 3

My take on this issue, i think is the nicest. I keep a my_filters.py on the templatetags directory.

@register.filter(name='times') 
def times(number):
    return range(number)

And you would use like this:

{% load my_filters %}
{% for i in 15|times %}
    <li>Item</li>
{% endfor %}

This method supports all the functionality of the standard range([start,] stop[, step]) function

<app>/templatetags/range.py

from django import template

register = template.Library()


@register.filter(name='range')
def _range(_min, args=None):
    _max, _step = None, None
    if args:
        if not isinstance(args, int):
            _max, _step = map(int, args.split(','))
        else:
            _max = args
    args = filter(None, (_min, _max, _step))
    return range(*args)

Usage:

{% load range %}

<p>stop 5
{% for value in 5|range %}
{{ value }}
{% endfor %}
</p>

<p>start 5 stop 10
{% for value in 5|range:10 %}
{{ value }}
{% endfor %}
</p>

<p>start 5 stop 10 step 2
{% for value in 5|range:"10,2" %}
{{ value }}
{% endfor %}
</p>

Output

<p>stop 5
0 1 2 3 4
</p>

<p>start 5 stop 10
5 6 7 8 9
</p>

<p>start 5 stop 10 step 2
5 7 9
</p>

Answer 5

If the number is coming from a model, I found this to be a nice patch to the model:

def iterableQuantity(self):
    return range(self.quantity)

Answer 6

This shows 1 to 20 numbers:

{% for i in "x"|rjust:"20"|make_list %}
 {{ forloop.counter }}
{% endfor %}

also this can help you: (count_all_slider_objects come from views)

{% for i in "x"|rjust:count_all_slider_objects %}
  {{ forloop.counter }}
{% endfor %}

or

  {% with counter=count_all_slider_objects %}
    {% if list_all_slider_objects %}
      {%  for slide in list_all_slider_objects %}
        {{forloop.counter|add:"-1"}}
        {% endfor%}
      {% endif %}
    {% endwith %}
