How to compare dates in Django templates

by

Compare date in the view, and pass something like in_the_past (boolean) to the extra_context.

Or better add it to the model as a property.

from datetime import date

@property
def is_past_due(self):
    return date.today() > self.date

Then in the template:

{% if listing.is_past_due %}
    In the past
{% else %}
    {{ listing.date|date:"d M Y" }}
{% endif %}

Basically the template is not the place for date comparison IMO.
