DJANGO: using choices names in templates

DJANGO: using choices names in templates

In Building model there are choices for status:

BUILDING_STATUS = (
    ('project', 'Planning'),
    ('inprogress', 'Working'),
    ('ready', 'Ready'),
)

Once I found in code smth like this:

{% if building.status == 'project' %}Planning{% endif %}
{% if building.status == 'inprogress' %}Working {% endif %}
{% if building.status == 'ready' %}Ready{% endif %}

YOU SHOULD NOT DO THAT. It s ugly! Adding one status is painful as you need to rewrite all templates.

Solution? Django already do useful helper for you:
{{ building.get_status_display }}
