Get the value of an IntegerChoices field in Django?

Question

Suppose I have the following Django (3.2) code:

class AType(models.IntegerChoices):
    ZERO = 0, 'Zero'
    ONE = 1, 'One'
    TWO = 2, 'Two'

class A(models.Model):
    a_type = models.IntegerField(choices=AType.choices)

Also, that I have a Django template with a variable a:

{{a.a_type}} is a number.

How do I get "Zero" (the string associated with a_type)?

You can use the get_FOO_display() instance method:

{{ a.get_a_type_display }} is a number

In templates is not necesary to use parenthesis, just use `{{ a.get_a_type_display }}` – allexiusw Oct 22 '21 at 02:28
