Right now, I have a few logs in my database and I want to display them by date in the Django template. How do I do it?

This is what my current system looks like..

This is how I want them to look.

models.py

class Logs(models.Model):
    log = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=False, auto_now_add=True)

views.py

class ViewLogs(ListView):
    template_name = 'logs_list.html'
    model = Logs
    form_class = LogForm

    def get_logs(self):
        logs = Logs.objects.all().order_by('-created')
        return logs

    def get_form(self):
        form = LogForm()
        return form
    
    def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
        context = super().get_context_data(*args, **kwargs)
        context['query'] = self.request.GET.get('q', None)

        form = self.get_form()
        logs = self.get_logs()

        context['form'] = form
        context['logs'] = logs
    
        return context

logs_list.html

{% for log in logs %}
    <div >
        <div >
            <p style="color:black;max-width:1000px;"> {{ log.log | safe}} </p>
            <small style="color:gray;" > {{ log.created | date:"F d, o - H:i A" | upper }} </small>
        </div>
    </div>
{% endfor %}

Regrouping is your friend in this case. It allows you to clump things by common attributes, including attributes that have been filtered by template filters! See the docs for more. Something like:

{% regroup logs by created|date:"F d, Y"|upper as log_days %}
{% for day in log_days %}
  <div >
    <h2 >{{ day.grouper }}</h2>
    {% for log in day.list %}
      <p>{{ log.log|safe }} - {{ log.created|date:" H:i A"|upper }}<p>
    {% endfor %}
  </div>
{% endfor %}
