Change value in views before rendering it at html page

I have a listview in my Django's project like:

class KaoiroView(ListView):
    template_name = 'main/show-kaoiro.html'
    queryset = Kaoiro.objects.all()
    context_object_name = 'kaoiro'
    paginate_by = 10

where Kaoiro has one column called

checkTime = models.BigIntegerField()

in models.py.

this checkTime is an unixtime like one big number.

I would like to convert this time when user get above page from my views.py, but because I'm using a listview I don't know how to access this data

you can create a new property in your model class such as :

this property is called derived property you can use any formula or code here to calculate new value.

class kaoiro(models.Model):
...
...
checkTime = models.BigIntegerField()

@property
def normal_time(self):
    ct = self.checkTime 
    ## do something with ct
    return ct

you can use normal_time as any other property of your class.
