Add a getattr template filter for retrieving an object's attribute.
Review Request #11049 — Created June 20, 2020 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
This filter allows a template to get an attribute of an object without
hard-coding the attribute name up-front. It's useful for cases where you
might be operating off attribute names provided to the template or
computed by another tag.It's similar to
|getitem:...
but uses agetattr(obj, key)
call
instead ofobj[key]
.
Unit tests passed.
Made use of this in another change.
