Django if logic in template

Question

Is something like this possible in a template?

{% if request.path == url 'posts:post_detail' pk=instance.id %}

If not, how can I achieve this result being True? I want to this to be true when user is looking at a specific post such as post/1.

Yes, you can using the as var syntax:

{% url 'posts:post_detail' pk=instance.id as the_url %}
...
{% if request.path == the_url %}
...do something
{% endif %}
