Use Javascript variable in Django Tempate-CodePudding

Before getting into the question, I know that there are a lot of similar questions on Stack Overflow, but from what I've seen none has produced an answer I can use -- please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have a JavaScript variable that looks like this (this is in a <script> tag).

var html = '<img src = "{% static "img/chesspieces/wikipedia/(I guess this is the part I'm not sure about)" %}"'

I have another JavaScript variable called piece that I would like to inject like this {{piece}}, but can't since it's a JavaScript variable, and not a Django variable.

A lot of answers to similar questions seem to recommend making a view and calling it every time I want to access the piece variable, but I don't think that has any chance of working in my situation, as it would lead to the Too Many Requests error.

CodePudding user response：

Rather than doing it dynamically, can't you set it up in advance? There's not a huge overhead in doing static lookups.

var html = ""
var pieceDict = new Object();
pieceDict['king'] ='<img src = "{% static "img/chesspieces/wikipedia/king.gif" %}"'>
pieceDict['queen'] = '<img src = "{% static "img/chesspieces/wikipedia/queen.gif" %}"'>

...    
piece = "king"
html = pieceDict[piece]
