Template params - list type

[Souparnika <nishakv@…>]

Hi,

When I try to pass a list variable as one of template params from one of my view using render_to_response method in the view it is getting as a string data type.

View code -

ids = getIds(id,project_slug)-> returns a list type (eg: ids = [11111L,222222L]
template_params = {'ids':ids}
return render_to_response(template, template_params,
                              context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Then in the view.html

var ids = {{ ids }};

But here it is having problems since it is considering as string data type.

Any suggestions will be very usefull.

Thanks,
Nisha.

Unbreak description formatting (the preview button is your friend!).

What is the problem you are actually seeing here? Templates output strings, so there's no concept of a type in the output. What do you expect to see and what are you seeing? I suspect this is an incorrect expectation, rather than a bug, but if you could provide some more details that would be helpful.
