dom_id¶

dom_id is a helper method that returns a unique DOM ID based on the object’s class name and ID

{% load turbo_helper %}

{% dom_id instance %}               ->  task_1
{% dom_id instance 'detail' %}      ->  detail_task_1
{% dom_id Task %}                   ->  new_task

dom_id first argument can be string, instance or Model class
dom_id second argument is optional string that will be used as prefix.
The dom_id can help make the id generation behavior consistent across the project, and save our time to update it in turbo-stream or turbo-frame element.
You can also use it in your Django view code.

Use in Django view

from turbo_helper import dom_id

target = dom_id(instance, "detail_container")
