Django: custom tag and tag evaluation in template

Vote count:

0

I wrote a custom tag named addattrs that allow me add HTML attributes easily.

I uses it that way:

<div>
  <label>Last name</label>
  {{ form.last_name|addattrs:"class=blue-form&placeholder=Please enter your name" }}
</div>

It works well. But now, I'd like to add the value attribute to HTML:

<div>
  <label>Last name</label>
  <!-- last_name is availaible from the current context -->
  {{ form.last_name|addattrs:"class=blue-form&value=last_name" }}
</div>

The problem is last_nameis not evaluated and wrote as is in my form. How to force last_name to be evaluated? I tried a {% with last_name as myvariable %} block, but the result is exactly the same.

Thanks.
