#29433 New split template filter

[Kamil Pluciński]

Hi guys,

What do you think about new filter for splitting strings in templates? We need opinion for ticket: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29433

Hi Kamil, 

I'd think the preference here would be to NOT add new filters lightly — i.e. to close as wontfix — and recommend users create their own filters (or pull the logic into say a `get_context()` method) if they need this kind of thing. 

Slight aside: "Hi guys" may not fairly address everyone on the list. How about "Hi folks" or similar. 🙂

Kind Regards,

Carlton

There's been a few cases where I would have found a split filter to be useful. I don't remember them off the top of my head.

I like that the behavior of it should be pretty well defined: just return obj.split() if val is None else obj.split(val)
