Generating new HTML rows for each Document from firestore in python Django-CodePudding

I have a collection of documents in a Firestore database. I want to create a web form to display all the documents and their fields. I started by streaming all the documents using:

    docs = db.collection(u'users').stream()

and then appending all the docs IDs to a list and pass it to the HTML file as follows


   def index(request):
   myIDs =[]
   db = firestore.Client()
   docs = db.collection(u'users').stream() 
   for doc in docs:
       myIDs.append(f'{doc.id}')


return render(request, 'index.html', {
       "weight":"abc",
       "firstRow":myIDs[0],
       "secondRow":myIDs[1],
       "thirdRow":myIDs[2],
       "fourthRow":myIDs[3],
       "fifthRow":myIDs[4],
       "sixthRow":myIDs[5],
       "seventhRow":myIDs[6],

   })

After that, I created a very basic HTML code just to display the document IDs as follows:

<html>
   <body>    
           <table border="1" cellpadding = "5" cellspacing="5"> 
               <tr>
                   <td>{{ firstRow }}</td>
                   <tr>
                       <td>{{ secondRow }}</td>
                   </tr>
                   <tr>
                       <td>{{ thirdRow }}</td>
                   </tr>
                   <tr>
                       <td>{{ fourthRow }}</td>
                   </tr>
                   <tr>
                       <td>{{ fifthRow }}</td>
                   </tr>
                   <tr>
                       <td>{{ sixthRow }}</td>
                   </tr>
                   <tr>
                       <td>{{ seventhRow }}</td>
                   </tr>
               </tr>
           </table>
   </body>
</html>

Till this point I am just doing very basic stuff. But I am new to Django and Python for the Web, so my question is: how can I make it so that the HTML rows become adaptive based on the number of documents? For example, if I have 20 documents, I want to make it so that it will generate the 20 rows and pass each of the document IDs to one row, and so on.

This is fairly simple in Django

You can pass the list MyIDs as a context variable and let your template do the heavy lifting

return render(request, 'index.html', {
       "weight":"abc", 
       "myIDs": myIDs    
   })

Then in your template

<table border="1" cellpadding = "5" cellspacing="5"> 
{% for id in myIDs %}
    <tr> 
       <td>{{ id }}</td>
    </tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>

(I suspect you can make this even simpler by passing docs as a context variable, which would let you do

{% for doc in docs %}
    <tr> 
       <td>{{ doc.id }}</td>
       <td>{{ doc.title }}</td>
    </tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>

but I'm not 100% familiar with the output of stream() )
