Using HTML5 data attributes
When you have dynamic data related to the DOM elements, you need a more efficient way to pass the values from Django to JavaScript. In this recipe, we will see a way to attach data from Django to custom HTML5 data attributes and then describe how to read the data from JavaScript with two practical examples. The first example will be an image that changes its source, depending on the viewport, so that the smallest version is shown on mobile devices, the medium-sized version is shown on tablets, and the biggest high-quality image is shown for the desktop version of the website. The second example will be a Google Map with a marker at a specified geographical position.
