"%(class)s" in django
%(class)s
in Django is a placeholder used within strings for string formatting. It's part of the Python string formatting syntax. The %
symbol followed by (class)s
is a template for inserting the string representation of a class into a larger string.
For instance, if you have a string like "This is a %(class)s example"
and you want to replace %(class)s
with the name of a class, you can use the %
operator with a dictionary or tuple containing the class name.
Here's an example:
class_name = "DjangoClass"
formatted_string = "This is a %(class)s example" % {'class': class_name}
print(formatted_string)
The output will be: This is a DjangoClass example
.
So, %
followed by (class)s
acts as a placeholder in a string that can be replaced by the string representation of a class using string formatting in Python.
