How to compare dates in Python Django templates?
To compare dates in Python Django templates, we can add a property into our model to compare the dates.
For instance, we write
from datetime import date
@property
def is_past_due(self):
return date.today() > self.date
to add the is_past_due computed property into our model that returns if date.today is bigger than `self.date.
Then in our template, we can use it by writing
{% if listing.is_past_due %}
In the past
{% else %}
{{ listing.date|date:"d M Y" }}
{% endif %}
