template filter to trim any leading or trailing whitespace

Is there a template filter in django that will trim any leading or trailing whitespace from the input text.

Something like: {{ var.example|trim }}

Django templates allow you to access methods and properties by using the '.' syntax:

{{ var.example.strip }}

You can extend this by chaining other filters when you're dealing with HTML, e.g.:

{{ var.example.strip|safe|removetags:"p img" }}

Here we first remove any <p> and <img> tags, then tell Django it can safely render the rest of the content, which we have stripped of any whitespace.

You can do it yourself

from django import template
from django.template.defaultfilters import stringfilter

register = template.Library()

@register.filter
@stringfilter
def trim(value):
    return value.strip()
