template or javascript

[Lorenzo Bernardi]

Hello,

I'm making a website with bootstrap and I use some menu items (in
fact nav bars) and I was wondering what is the best practice to make a
menu item highlighted when I am on the page connected with this menu
item. I mean in bootstrap the nav bar has a <li class="active"> to
highlight the fact that I'm on this page. I was wondering if I should
use django context to give the information and set in the template {% if
currentpage="home" %} class="active" {% endif %} or if I should use
some javascript code to look in which page I am and set the
class="active". Sorry if this is not the correct mailing list to send
this question but I don't know where to start looking so any information
is welcome (for exemple if there is standard practice for this kind of
things can someone give me some input?)


sincerely

Personally, I pass a dict named current in the context. For the home
page, the dict is {'home': 'active'} and for about, it's {'about':
'active'}. Then the link to the home page is <li class="{{
current.home }}">, the link to about is <li class="{{ current.about
}}">, etc...

It might not be the best way but it's pretty straightforward and
that's what I use when I need to highlight the current page.

I'm curious to read about how other django's user are doing it :)
