Accessing meta data in a template

Using Django Templates & Frontend
1

context = { 'sof': sof })

Is it not possible to access meta data in templates ?

{% for field in sof.so._meta.fields %}
  <div>
    <dt>{{ field.verbose_name }}</dt>
    <dd>{{ field.value }}</dd>
  </div>
{% endfor %}

I don’t see why not.

What is the sof being passed in the context?

I think Django complains about it.

TemplateSyntaxError: Variables and attributes may not begin with underscores

4

sof is a result of a ORM get() query.

5

you can provide meta data like:

context = {'meta_fields': obj._meta.fields}

but, why need meta data in template??

6

For example to use verbose_name as labels.

i think use modelform will be better.

# views.py
context = {'form': {ModelForm object}}

# template
{% for field in form %}
{{ field.label }}
{{ field.initial }}
{% endfor %}
