I'm making a flask application that displays pizzas and their ingredients using python and jinja. I want to represent veg ingredients as green circles and meat ingredients as red circles. I have a pizza collection, and an ingredients collection. I want to compare toppings in the pizza collection, to ingredients properties in the ingredients collection. I've tried using jinja to loop through toppings in the pizza collection, nesting a loop so that if any of the toppings match those in the ingredients then it should change which class is applied to aan icon. A document in the pizzas collection: _id:5d506eed1c9d4400000a4254 pizza_name:"vegetairian supreme" pizza_code:"vs" sauce_type:"pizza" cheese_type:"mozzarella" toppings:Array 0:"onions" 1:"mushrooms" 2:"peppers" 3:"sweetcorn" 4:"tomatoes" allergens:"" is_veg:true A document in the ingredients collection: _id:5d506d341c9d4400000a4238 topping:"bacon" is_meat:true My code to display pizzas: <div class="row"> <div class="row"> {% for pizza in pizzas %} <div class="card"> <ul class="collection with-header"> <li class="collection-header"> <h4>{{ pizza.pizza_name }}</h4> </li> {% for topping in pizza.toppings %} <li class="collection-item"> {% for ing in ingredients %} {% if ing.topping == topping %} {% if ing.is_meat == True %} <i class="meat tiny material-icons">brightness_1</i>{{topping}} {% elif ing.is_meat == False %} <i class="veg tiny material-icons">brightness_1</i>{{topping}} {% endif %} {% endif %} {% endfor %} </li> {% endfor %} </ul> </div> {% endfor %} </div> The current result If I just do: <div class="row"> {% for pizza in pizzas %} <div class="card"> <ul class="collection with-header"> <li class="collection-header"> <h4>{{ pizza.pizza_name }}</h4> </li> {% for topping in pizza.toppings %} <li class="collection-item"> <i class="meat tiny material-icons">brightness_1</i>{{topping}} </li> {% endfor %} </ul> </div> {% endfor %} </div> I will get a list of the toppings for each pizza with a black circle beside each, so I'm on the right track, I think! CSS: style.css .meat { color: red; } .veg { color: red; } Other styles are from materialize Current html output: <div class="card"> <ul class="collection with-header"> <li class="collection-header"> <h4>vegetairian supreme</h4> </li> <li class="collection-item"><i class="veg tiny material-icons">brightness_1</i>onions</li> <li class="collection-item"></li> <li class="collection-item"></li> <li class="collection-item"></li> <li class="collection-item"></li> </ul> </div> Continue reading...
