I have a checkbox in my Django jinja template. I want that checkbox to be checked if object boolean field is True.
My html element looks like:
<div class="checkbox"><label> <input type="checkbox" name="sendEmail" checked="{{ customer.SendSms }}"> Send sms? </label></div>
The problem is, checkbox is still checked when attribute checked="False"
, it’s becomes unchecked only when the checked
attribute is not there.
So what i need is, put checked attribute into the html element only if customer.SendSms
is true.
I know something like
{% if customer.SendSms %} //checked html element here {% else %} //unchecked element here {% endif %}
possible but this does not look so pretty, is there any other good way to handle this?

yesno
template filter will do the job:
<input type="checkbox" name="sendSms" {{ customer.SendSms|yesno:"checked" }}>
