How to Print a List in an HTML File Using Django

When working with Django, you may find yourself needing to display data, such as lists, on an HTML page. This is a fundamental aspect of web development and Django’s templating system provides a great way to do this. In this guide, we will explore how to display a list named formulario within an HTML file using Django template language. If you have encountered problems displaying information in <li> tags, you're in the right place!

Understanding the Problem

You have a list defined in your Django view, and your goal is to render this list on an HTML page in the form of a structured list. The common issue arises when the items are not displayed correctly, typically due to an error in the template syntax.

Let's look at the provided code snippets to identify what needs to be changed.

Given Code Snippets

views.py

Here, you define your list and set up the function to render the HTML template and pass the list:

HTML Template

The HTML template currently includes the following loop for rendering the list:

urls.py

Your URL configuration properly routes requests to the formulario view:

Solution

Correcting the Template Syntax

One mistake that is causing the list not to render properly lies within the HTML template. Instead of using {formulario}, we should be using the correct syntax for Django template variables, which involves {{ }}.

Here's the corrected template code:

Explanation of the Changes

Correct Loop Variable:

Before: {formulario}

Now: {{ item }}

By using {{ item }}, we tell Django to render the content of item from the formulario context variable.

Use of {% %} and {{ }}:

{% for item in formulario %}: This is a template tag that starts the loop.

{{ item }}: This outputs the value of the current loop variable.

Final Template Code

With the corrections applied, your final HTML template will look like this:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can successfully display a list in an HTML file using Django’s templating system. Remember, the key to resolving the display issues often lies in the correct use of syntax within your Django templates. If you encounter any more issues, check your variable names and ensure you’re using the correct syntax for rendering.

Feel free to experiment with different data types or structures, and happy coding with Django!
