For example i have a list of 10 objects but i just want to get last 5 or the first 5 objects.

{% for x in objects %}
.....first 5 objects......
{% endfor %}

{% for x in objects %}
.....last 5 objects......

  • You could consider using a custom template tag.

  • Could loop through objects:

    {% for x in objects %}
    {% if forloop.counter <= 5 %}
        # ....do something....
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

{% for x in objects %}
    {% if forloop.revcounter <= 5 %}
        # ....do something....
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

  • You could get the items directly (Assuming the length of objects doesn't change when displaying last 5 in list.):

    {{ objects.0 }}
{{ objects.1 }}
{{ objects.2 }}
...
{{ objects.7 }}
{{ objects.8 }}
{{ objects.9 }}

First method (forloop.counter):

{% for x in objects %}
    {% if forloop.counter <= 5 %}
        access first 5 objects
    {% else %}
        access last 5 objects
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Second method:

# views.py

def my_view(request):
    first_five_obj = MyModel.objects.all()[:5]
    last_five_obj = MyModel.objects.all()[-5:]
    return render(request, 'template.html', locals())

<!-- template.html -->

{% for x in first_five_obj %}
    .....first 5 objects......
{% endfor %}

{% for x in last_five_obj %}
    .....last 5 objects......
{% endfor %}
