How to Write Conditional if Statements in Django Templates

John on August 04, 2021

Let's say we have a boolean field in our model called active and would like to do something in a template if the value is True. We would need to write an if conditional statement and evaluate the value of object.active, which can be done like this:

Template if Statement

{% if object.active %}
  #True, do something here...
{% endif %}

Template if-else Statement

An if-else statement can be applied to templates like this:

{% if object.active %}
  #True, do something here...
{% else %}
  #Else do something here...
{% endif %}
