Assigning values to Django template variables in javascript

<script>
{{ somedjangovariable }}=2;
</script>

In a html page can we do something like this:

Solution

  • If you use 

    <script>
{{ somedjangovariable }}=2;
</script>

    in a Django template, your tag will be filled by the python value of somedjangovariable, computed server-side.

    It can work, but it is quite a strange pattern to use a server-side value to name a javascript variable.
