many-to-many items in a template: check if any are not empty or none
django, django-models, django-template-filters, django-templates
Solution
`{% if leg.drivers %}` will always be true, because this will be a many to many manager. Try `{% if leg.drivers.all %}` to get all associated drivers.
Problem
Django beginner question. I have the following model: ``` class Leg(models.Model): startpoint = models.CharField(max_length=50, help_text="examples: 'Smith Elementary' or 'riders' houses'; less than 50 characters.") endpoint = models.CharField(max_length=50, help_text="examples: 'Smith Elementary' or 'riders' houses'; less than 50 characters.") riders = models.ManyToManyField(Rider, blank=True) drivers = models.ManyToManyField(Driver, blank=True) ``` I make an instance of the model available in a template as 'leg'. In the template, I want to see if, for that instance, there are ANY associated drivers. I've tried {% if leg.drivers %} but that always seems to evaluate to True, regardless of whether there are any drivers or not for the leg. How do I check to see if there are actually any drivers? Sorry for the basic question but I can't seem to figure it out.
