[Fixed]-Rendering a string in django template as json object

✅

The value of mydata is not a string, you don’t need to parse it as it’s already a valid JS object: var mydata ={"user":{"firstName":"Bob","lastName":"Henderson",}};

You can go ahead and access properties like: mydata.user.firstName

Also, you should validate the JSON data you’re storing in your model. The data you posted above is not valid, as in JSON the trailing comma is illegal.

in js block use

<script>
  var mydata = JSON.parse("{{formdata|escapejs}}");
  console.log(mydata);
</script

As @Arsh Singh said, formrecord.data is not a valid json, bit it’s a valid dict for python, you can try like this:

# views
import json

def myview(request, uid):
    formrecord = FormData.objects.get(someid = uid)
    jsondata = json.dumps(formrecord.data)
    return render(request, 'myview.html', 'formdata':jsondata})

And then in JS block

<script>
  var mydata ={{ formdata }};
  console.log(mydata);
</script>

You must use `|safe’ in your JS file like below:

views

import json

def myview(request, uid):
    formrecord = FormData.objects.get(someid = uid)
    jsondata = json.dumps(formrecord.data)
    return render(request, 'myview.html', 'formdata':jsondata})

And then in JS block

<script>
  var mydata ={{ formdata|safe }};
  console.log(mydata);
</script>
