Well, maybe this is a silly question, but i couldn't find the answer so far. So, i am rendering a view in Django (i will do the code generic to make the problem easier), and the python side looks something like this: 

...
marray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
...
return render(request, "template.html", {"marray": marray})

Now, in the template.html file, I want to access the array, but the index must be determined by a JavaScript variable:

var index = 2;
var mvar = {{ marray.index }};
console.log(mvar);

Output wanted:

3

Obviously, the previous code does not work, it's just to show what I want. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

  • I think it's not a duplicate due to the access to the index of the array in a single line. Thanks – Joaquin Miranda Dec 18 '17 at 13:35

var index = 2;
var marray = {{ marray|safe }};
var mvar = marray[index];
// OR: var mvar = {{ marray|safe }}[index];

Note that here index will probably either be constant, or be determined by the context, so there might be better ways to do this.
