Django Templates and MongoDB _id

Question

Variables and attributes may not begin with underscores: \'value._id\'

How does one reference the _id of an item gotten from MongoDB i

Answer 1

Custom template filter would help:

from django import template

register = template.Library()

@register.filter(name='private')
def private(obj, attribute):
    return getattr(obj, attribute)

You can use it this way:

{{ value|private:'_id' }}
