field for html

[Kovy Jacob]

Hi, is there a type of field for django data models that's for html? I want to have youtube embed links, which is a bunch of html fo putting a youtube video on your site. Itlooks like this: "<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Rj_vssRaZlQ" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>". I stored it in a charfield, but it gets shown on the website as text.

What should I do?

Thanks,

Kovy

Try to use django safe filter to render this as html.

I would suggest you to only put the video id in the charfield and use that to render the <iframe> in the template. Otherwise, there can be security issues if the content from the charfield is rendered safely as HTML.

So in your template could it would be something like

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/{{ video_id }}" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
