elif in django template
In Django templates, the elif
statement is used to check for an additional condition if the preceding if
statement evaluates to false. It allows for a cascading series of conditional checks within the template. The syntax for using elif
in Django templates is similar to Python:
{% if condition1 %}
<!-- code to be executed if condition1 is true -->
{% elif condition2 %}
<!-- code to be executed if condition1 is false and condition2 is true -->
{% else %}
<!-- code to be executed if both condition1 and condition2 are false -->
{% endif %}
The elif
statement is useful when there are multiple conditions that need to be checked in a specific order. It provides a way to handle different scenarios based on the outcome of the preceding if
statement.
