Re: Django Templates and Conditional CSS classes

At some point I plan on figuring out how to do more intelligent front-end in-browser stuff (Angular, etc) which yeah would definitely help me here but I was wondering if there was a Django-only way of doing this.

Are you open to using JavaScript in the front end? It would make it really easy

Hello,

I am trying to render a model field in a django template, and, based on the value of the field, I want to specify a different CSS class.  Right now, my solution is this:

<span class="label {% if myobject.state == 'Scheduled' %}label-default
                   {% elif myobject.state == 'Provisioning' %}label-primary
                   {% elif myobject.state == 'Active' %}label-success
                   {% elif myobject.state == 'Deleting' %}label-primary
                   {% elif myobject.state == 'Ended' %}label-info
                   {% endif %}">{{ myobject.state }}</span>

This works, but seems like a really ugly solution and a bunch of logic in the template.  Is there a better way of doing this?  My thought was to put the class names as another field in the model, but that seems like it would violate the MVC (or MVT) separation. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

treyd
