There's numerous time where I found myself wishing for type casting
filters in templates..
For example, the following won't work because one is a string and the
other is an integer:
{% if request.GET.year == object.date.year %}
...
{% endif %}
So when I need to compare a string with an int without having to write
custom filters, I use this hack:
{% if request.GET.year == object.date.year|slugify %}
...
{% endif %}
While it works, it ain't pretty.
It would be nice if we could simply do this:
{% if request.GET.year == object.date.year|string %}
...
{% endif %}
Or this:
{% if request.GET.year|int == object.date.year %}
...
{% endif %}
Am I the only one who gets in such situations ? Is there an interest
for such filters ?
If so I might propose a patch..
Regards
