I'm trying to create multiple context objects in a view so that I can iterate over them separately in the template and print them vertically as HTML lists. How can I achieve this?
My code is something like this:
views.py:
class MultiListView(ListView):
template_name = os.path.join(APPNAME, "list.html")
context_object_name = 'list1'
context_object_name2 = 'list2'
context_object_name3 = 'list3'
def get_queryset(self):
query_set = List.objects.all()
return list(query_set) # Only sets the context_object_name var, not the rest
list.html:
{% if list1 %}
<ul>
{% for item in list1 %}
<li class="item-list">item.name</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endif %}
{% if list2 %}
<ul>
{% for item in list2 %}
<li class="item-list">item.name</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endif %}
{% if list3 %}
<ul>
{% for item in list3 %}
<li class="item-list">item.name</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endif %}
The important thing for me is that the lists are printed vertically, so each list is it's own column. I am aware that the multiple context_object_name's thing won't work, but I put it in there to demonstrate what I want.
