Subject: [Zope] iterating dictionaries with dtml-in
Hi,
I know it's a silly question. But I was not able to
find an example for this:
I have a list of dicts like
[
{'name':'John','age':27},
{'name':'Marc','age':17},
{'name':'Susanne','age':19}
]
Now I want to iterate each 'name' like
<select>
<option>John</option>
<option>Marc</option>
<option>Susanne</option>
</select>
I want to do this with DTML.
<select>
<dtml-in getDicts>
<option>
HOW CAN I PUT the keys 'name' HERE ????
</option>
</dtml-in>
</select>
(getDicts returns the above list of dictionaries)
If getDicts returns a list of python dictionaries then you are going to
require an outer loop (to run thru the list) and an inner loop (to run thru
the keys of the current dictionary). Something like this will get you going
in the right direction:
<dtml-let dictList="getDicts">
<dtml-in dictList prefix=aDict>
<dtml-in "aDict_item.keys()">
<dtml-var sequence-item>, <dtml-var
"aDict_item[_['sequence-item']]">
</dtml-in>
</dtml-in>
</dtml-let>
However, it would be much easier to change your getDicts routine to format
the data you need for your OPTION statements, instead of extracting this
information via dtml.
