how to render django-taggit common tags in template - django-templates

Question

I've seen a lot of questions and answers about how to get most common tags using django-taggit. However that's not really my issue. My issue is how to pass that common tags to my django templates.
To return all tags I had:
{% for tag in model.tags.all %}
<p>{{tag}}</p>
{% endif %}
And that worked fine. But how do I return the common tags in the template? To get the common tags I have this:
class Home(ListView):
model = Model
template_name = 'home.html'
def get_common_tags(self):
common_tags = Model.tags.most_common()[:2]
return common_tags
But how do I access these common_tags? Do I need to get the common tags from the template or should I be passing them from the view?

Answer 1

it is better to read about Django GCBV.
in your case:
class Home(ListView):
model = Model
template_name = 'home.html'
...
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
kwargs['common_tags'] = self.get_common_tags()
return super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
here we override get_context_data, to get in template variable common_tags
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/class-based-views/mixins-single-object/#django.views.generic.detail.SingleObjectMixin.get_context_data
after that, in template:
¶
{% for tag in model.tags.all %}
<p>{{tag}}</p>
{% endif %}
<p> Most common tag are: {{ common_tags }}</p>
common_tags - is a list, you can made something with django template filter, like join:
{{ common_tags|join:" ," }}
or unordered_list:
<ul>{{ common_tags|unordered_list }}</ul>
