django-multiforloop 0.1dev

UNKNOWN

django-multiforloop provides an enhancement to django's builtin forloop template tag, which makes it easier to iterate over multiple lists simultaneously (acting similarly to Python's `zip`).

multiforloop allows this Python idiom to be used in django templates:

for x,y in zip(x_list, y_list):
print x,y

Normally, to iterate over multiple lists simultaneously in django templates, the lists must be zipped in the view and passed in as an extra context variable. When this is the only extra processing needed in a view (eg. with generic views), this can result in a fair bit of unneeded boilerplate code.

##Usage

Rendering this template

{% load multifor %}
{% for x in x_list; y in y_list %}
{{ x }}:{{ y }}
{% endfor %}

with this context

context = {
"x_list": ('one', 1, 'carrot'),
"y_list": ('two', 2, 'orange')
}

will output

one:two
1:2
carrot:orange


## Installation

1. pip install django-multiforloop
2. Include 'multiforloop' in your settings.py's list of installed apps
3. Add `{% load multifor %}` to the top of any templates which use the multiforloop
