abs(*number*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#abs "Permalink to this definition") Return the absolute value of the argument. attr(*obj*, *name*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#attr "Permalink to this definition") Get an attribute of an object. foo|attr("bar") works like foo["bar"] just that always an attribute is returned and items are not looked up. See [*Notes on subscriptions*](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#notes-on-subscriptions) for more details. batch(*value*, *linecount*, *fill_with=None*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#batch "Permalink to this definition") A filter that batches items. It works pretty much like slice just the other way round. It returns a list of lists with the given number of items. If you provide a second parameter this is used to fill up missing items. See this example: ~~~ <table> {%- for row in items|batch(3, '&nbsp;') %} <tr> {%- for column in row %} <td>{{ column }}</td> {%- endfor %} </tr> {%- endfor %} </table> ~~~ capitalize(*s*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#capitalize "Permalink to this definition") Capitalize a value. The first character will be uppercase, all others lowercase. center(*value*, *width=80*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#center "Permalink to this definition") Centers the value in a field of a given width. default(*value*, *default_value=u''*, *boolean=False*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#default "Permalink to this definition") If the value is undefined it will return the passed default value, otherwise the value of the variable: ~~~ {{ my_variable|default('my_variable is not defined') }} ~~~ This will output the value of my_variable if the variable was defined, otherwise'my_variable is not defined'. If you want to use default with variables that evaluate to false you have to set the second parameter to true: ~~~ {{ ''|default('the string was empty', true) }} ~~~ | Aliases : | d | dictsort(*value*, *case_sensitive=False*, *by='key'*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#dictsort "Permalink to this definition") Sort a dict and yield (key, value) pairs. Because python dicts are unsorted you may want to use this function to order them by either key or value: ~~~ {% for item in mydict|dictsort %} sort the dict by key, case insensitive {% for item in mydict|dictsort(true) %} sort the dict by key, case sensitive {% for item in mydict|dictsort(false, 'value') %} sort the dict by key, case insensitive, sorted normally and ordered by value. ~~~ escape(*s*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#escape "Permalink to this definition") Convert the characters &, , ‘, and ” in string s to HTML-safe sequences. Use this if you need to display text that might contain such characters in HTML. Marks return value as markup string. | Aliases : | e | filesizeformat(*value*, *binary=False*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#filesizeformat "Permalink to this definition") Format the value like a ‘human-readable’ file size (i.e. 13 kB, 4.1 MB, 102 Bytes, etc). Per default decimal prefixes are used (Mega, Giga, etc.), if the second parameter is set to True the binary prefixes are used (Mebi, Gibi). first(*seq*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#first "Permalink to this definition") Return the first item of a sequence. float(*value*, *default=0.0*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#float "Permalink to this definition") Convert the value into a floating point number. If the conversion doesn’t work it will return 0.0. You can override this default using the first parameter. forceescape(*value*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#forceescape "Permalink to this definition") Enforce HTML escaping. This will probably double escape variables. format(*value*, **args*, ***kwargs*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#format "Permalink to this definition") Apply python string formatting on an object: ~~~ {{ "%s - %s"|format("Hello?", "Foo!") }} -> Hello? - Foo! ~~~ groupby(*value*, *attribute*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#groupby "Permalink to this definition") Group a sequence of objects by a common attribute. If you for example have a list of dicts or objects that represent persons with gender,first_name and last_name attributes and you want to group all users by genders you can do something like the following snippet: ~~~ <ul> {% for group in persons|groupby('gender') %} <li>{{ group.grouper }}<ul> {% for person in group.list %} <li>{{ person.first_name }} {{ person.last_name }}</li> {% endfor %}</ul></li> {% endfor %} </ul> ~~~ Additionally it’s possible to use tuple unpacking for the grouper and list: ~~~ <ul> {% for grouper, list in persons|groupby('gender') %} ... {% endfor %} </ul> ~~~ As you can see the item we’re grouping by is stored in the grouper attribute and thelist contains all the objects that have this grouper in common. Changed in version 2.6: It’s now possible to use dotted notation to group by the child attribute of another attribute. indent(*s*, *width=4*, *indentfirst=False*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#indent "Permalink to this definition") Return a copy of the passed string, each line indented by 4 spaces. The first line is not indented. If you want to change the number of spaces or indent the first line too you can pass additional parameters to the filter: ~~~ {{ mytext|indent(2, true) }} indent by two spaces and indent the first line too. ~~~ int(*value*, *default=0*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#int "Permalink to this definition") Convert the value into an integer. If the conversion doesn’t work it will return 0. You can override this default using the first parameter. join(*value*, *d=u''*, *attribute=None*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#join "Permalink to this definition") Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in the sequence. The separator between elements is an empty string per default, you can define it with the optional parameter: ~~~ {{ [1, 2, 3]|join('|') }} -> 1|2|3 {{ [1, 2, 3]|join }} -> 123 ~~~ It is also possible to join certain attributes of an object: ~~~ {{ users|join(', ', attribute='username') }} ~~~ New in version 2.6: The attribute parameter was added. last(*seq*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#last "Permalink to this definition") Return the last item of a sequence. length(*object*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#length "Permalink to this definition") Return the number of items of a sequence or mapping. | Aliases : | count | list(*value*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#list "Permalink to this definition") Convert the value into a list. If it was a string the returned list will be a list of characters. lower(*s*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#lower "Permalink to this definition") Convert a value to lowercase. map()[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#map "Permalink to this definition") Applies a filter on a sequence of objects or looks up an attribute. This is useful when dealing with lists of objects but you are really only interested in a certain value of it. The basic usage is mapping on an attribute. Imagine you have a list of users but you are only interested in a list of usernames: ~~~ Users on this page: {{ users|map(attribute='username')|join(', ') }} ~~~ Alternatively you can let it invoke a filter by passing the name of the filter and the arguments afterwards. A good example would be applying a text conversion filter on a sequence: ~~~ Users on this page: {{ titles|map('lower')|join(', ') }} ~~~ New in version 2.7. pprint(*value*, *verbose=False*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#pprint "Permalink to this definition") Pretty print a variable. Useful for debugging. With Jinja 1.2 onwards you can pass it a parameter. If this parameter is truthy the output will be more verbose (this requires pretty) random(*seq*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#random "Permalink to this definition") Return a random item from the sequence. reject()[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#reject "Permalink to this definition") Filters a sequence of objects by appying a test to either the object or the attribute and rejecting the ones with the test succeeding. Example usage: ~~~ {{ numbers|reject("odd") }} ~~~ New in version 2.7. rejectattr()[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#rejectattr "Permalink to this definition") Filters a sequence of objects by appying a test to either the object or the attribute and rejecting the ones with the test succeeding. ~~~ {{ users|rejectattr("is_active") }} {{ users|rejectattr("email", "none") }} ~~~ New in version 2.7. replace(*s*, *old*, *new*, *count=None*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#replace "Permalink to this definition") Return a copy of the value with all occurrences of a substring replaced with a new one. The first argument is the substring that should be replaced, the second is the replacement string. If the optional third argument count is given, only the first countoccurrences are replaced: ~~~ {{ "Hello World"|replace("Hello", "Goodbye") }} -> Goodbye World {{ "aaaaargh"|replace("a", "d'oh, ", 2) }} -> d'oh, d'oh, aaargh ~~~ reverse(*value*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#reverse "Permalink to this definition") Reverse the object or return an iterator the iterates over it the other way round. round(*value*, *precision=0*, *method='common'*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#round "Permalink to this definition") Round the number to a given precision. The first parameter specifies the precision (default is 0), the second the rounding method: * 'common' rounds either up or down * 'ceil' always rounds up * 'floor' always rounds down If you don’t specify a method 'common' is used. ~~~ {{ 42.55|round }} -> 43.0 {{ 42.55|round(1, 'floor') }} -> 42.5 ~~~ Note that even if rounded to 0 precision, a float is returned. If you need a real integer, pipe it through int: ~~~ {{ 42.55|round|int }} -> 43 ~~~ safe(*value*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#safe "Permalink to this definition") Mark the value as safe which means that in an environment with automatic escaping enabled this variable will not be escaped. select()[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#select "Permalink to this definition") Filters a sequence of objects by appying a test to either the object or the attribute and only selecting the ones with the test succeeding. Example usage: ~~~ {{ numbers|select("odd") }} ~~~ New in version 2.7. selectattr()[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#selectattr "Permalink to this definition") Filters a sequence of objects by appying a test to either the object or the attribute and only selecting the ones with the test succeeding. Example usage: ~~~ {{ users|selectattr("is_active") }} {{ users|selectattr("email", "none") }} ~~~ New in version 2.7. slice(*value*, *slices*, *fill_with=None*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#slice "Permalink to this definition") Slice an iterator and return a list of lists containing those items. Useful if you want to create a div containing three ul tags that represent columns: ~~~ <div class="columwrapper"> {%- for column in items|slice(3) %} <ul class="column-{{ loop.index }}"> {%- for item in column %} <li>{{ item }}</li> {%- endfor %} </ul> {%- endfor %} </div> ~~~ If you pass it a second argument it’s used to fill missing values on the last iteration. sort(*value*, *reverse=False*, *case_sensitive=False*, *attribute=None*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#sort "Permalink to this definition") Sort an iterable. Per default it sorts ascending, if you pass it true as first argument it will reverse the sorting. If the iterable is made of strings the third parameter can be used to control the case sensitiveness of the comparison which is disabled by default. ~~~ {% for item in iterable|sort %} ... {% endfor %} ~~~ It is also possible to sort by an attribute (for example to sort by the date of an object) by specifying the attribute parameter: ~~~ {% for item in iterable|sort(attribute='date') %} ... {% endfor %} ~~~ Changed in version 2.6: The attribute parameter was added. string(*object*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#string "Permalink to this definition") Make a string unicode if it isn’t already. That way a markup string is not converted back to unicode. striptags(*value*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#striptags "Permalink to this definition") Strip SGML/XML tags and replace adjacent whitespace by one space. sum(*iterable*, *attribute=None*, *start=0*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#sum "Permalink to this definition") Returns the sum of a sequence of numbers plus the value of parameter ‘start’ (which defaults to 0). When the sequence is empty it returns start. It is also possible to sum up only certain attributes: ~~~ Total: {{ items|sum(attribute='price') }} ~~~ Changed in version 2.6: The attribute parameter was added to allow suming up over attributes. Also the start parameter was moved on to the right. title(*s*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#title "Permalink to this definition") Return a titlecased version of the value. I.e. words will start with uppercase letters, all remaining characters are lowercase. trim(*value*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#trim "Permalink to this definition") Strip leading and trailing whitespace. truncate(*s*, *length=255*, *killwords=False*, *end='...'*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#truncate "Permalink to this definition") Return a truncated copy of the string. The length is specified with the first parameter which defaults to 255. If the second parameter is true the filter will cut the text at length. Otherwise it will discard the last word. If the text was in fact truncated it will append an ellipsis sign ("..."). If you want a different ellipsis sign than "..." you can specify it using the third parameter. ~~~ {{ "foo bar"|truncate(5) }} -> "foo ..." {{ "foo bar"|truncate(5, True) }} -> "foo b..." ~~~ upper(*s*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#upper "Permalink to this definition") Convert a value to uppercase. urlencode(*value*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#urlencode "Permalink to this definition") Escape strings for use in URLs (uses UTF-8 encoding). It accepts both dictionaries and regular strings as well as pairwise iterables. New in version 2.7. urlize(*value*, *trim_url_limit=None*, *nofollow=False*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#urlize "Permalink to this definition") Converts URLs in plain text into clickable links. If you pass the filter an additional integer it will shorten the urls to that number. Also a third argument exists that makes the urls “nofollow”: ~~~ {{ mytext|urlize(40, true) }} links are shortened to 40 chars and defined with rel="nofollow" ~~~ wordcount(*s*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#wordcount "Permalink to this definition") Count the words in that string. wordwrap(*s*, *width=79*, *break_long_words=True*, *wrapstring=None*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#wordwrap "Permalink to this definition") Return a copy of the string passed to the filter wrapped after 79 characters. You can override this default using the first parameter. If you set the second parameter tofalse Jinja will not split words apart if they are longer than width. By default, the newlines will be the default newlines for the environment, but this can be changed using the wrapstring keyword argument. New in version 2.7: Added support for the wrapstring parameter. xmlattr(*d*, *autospace=True*)[](http://docs.jinkan.org/docs/jinja2/templates.html#xmlattr "Permalink to this definition") Create an SGML/XML attribute string based on the items in a dict. All values that are neither none nor undefined are automatically escaped: ~~~ <ul{{ {'class': 'my_list', 'missing': none, 'id': 'list-%d'|format(variable)}|xmlattr }}> ... </ul> ~~~ Results in something like this: ~~~ <ul class="my_list" id="list-42"> ... </ul> ~~~ As you can see it automatically prepends a space in front of the item if the filter returned something unless the second parameter is false.
