How to call a python function with arguments in django template?

Question

How do I call a function with arguments in template? Is there any way to do something like?

{% function(args) %}

Answer 1

Yes there is. It's called custom template filters

Custom filters are just Python functions that take one or two arguments:

• The value of the variable (input) – not necessarily a string.

• The value of the argument – this can have a default value, or be left out altogether.

For example, in the filter {{ var|foo:"bar" }}, the filter foo would be passed the variable var and the argument "bar".

Answer 2

In your urls you have something like function.name.

You will call something like this: {% function.name parameter %}
