Hello people,
I'm writing my first Django application and would like to know what is
considered more efficient: getting values of models' attributes in views
or directly in templates?
More precicely, say we have a Person model with name and id attributes,
and these need to be shown on a page.
Is it better for a view to "prepare" a context like this:
# views.py
# ...
persons = []
for person in Person.objects.all():
persons.append({'id': person.id, 'name': person.name})
return render_to_response('some_template.html', persons)
# some_template.html
{% for p in persons %}
Id: {{ p.id }}; Name: {{ p.name }}
{% endfor %}
or just pass a QuerySet in a context like this:
# views.py
# ...
persons = Person.objects.all()
return render_to_response('some_template.html', persons)
and then let the template access attribute values directly?
Does it make a difference in terms of performance?
