[Django]-Django: construct value of {% include %} tag dynamically?

✅

From the docs:

The template name can either be a
variable or a hard-coded (quoted)
string, in either single or double
quotes.

So construct a variable in your view and pass it to your template via the context, say as ‘modeTemplate’: “page_”+mode+”.html”. Then do:

{% include modeTemplate %}

Assuming ‘mode’ is a python variable in your view code.

I think that goliney provided a better answer here

In summary:

You can combine django’s built-in ‘with’ template tag to assign a dynamically constructed template name to a variable and the ‘add’ filter and to dynamically construct a template name.

For example:

 {% with template_name='page_'|add:mode|add:".html" %}
     {% include ""|add:template_name %}
 {% endwith %}

You can concatenate plain strings and variables right in your templates using with tag and add filter,
