In my django template I want to access the bio prop of an instance of my Creator class. This bio is set up as a QuillField in the Creator model class. When I try to access creator.bio, all that renders to the page is the following:
<django_quill.fields.FieldQuill object at 0x1084ce518>
What I want is the actual paragraph of formatted text (ie. the bio) that I typed into the form and saved. As of now, the QuillField is only accessible through the form in the Django admin page. The problem has nothing to do with the Quill UI, but rather being able to access the text I wrote into that form field and render it to the page in a readable format.
From models.py:
from django.db import models
from django_quill.fields import QuillField
class Creator(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
title = models.CharField(max_length=100, default='Creator')
bio = QuillField()
photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/', default='static/assets/icons/user-solid.svg')
email = models.EmailField(max_length=100)
website = models.URLField(max_length=1000, blank=True)
facebook = models.URLField(max_length=1000, blank=True)
twitter = models.URLField(max_length=1000, blank=True)
instagram = models.URLField(max_length=1000, blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.name
In views.py:
def about(request):
context = {"creators" : Creator.objects.all()}
return render(request, 'about.html', context)
And, in the template:
<section id="creator-container">
{% for creator in creators %}
<div class="creator-square">
<h4>{{ creator.name }}</h4>
<h5>{{ creator.title }}</h5>
<img src="../../media/{{ creator.photo }}" alt="{{actor.name}} headshot" id="creator-photo">
<p class="creator-bio">{{ creator.bio }}</p>
</div>
{% endfor %}
</section>
If I print the creator.bio object to the console, this is what I get:

Does anyone know how to access this so that it renders correctly, as HTML text?
