Model name of objects in django templates

object.__class__.__name__ or object._meta.object_name should give you the name of the model class. However, this cannot be used in templates because the attribute names start with an underscore.

There isn’t a built in way to get at that value from the templates, so you’ll have to define a model method that returns that attribute, or for a more generic/reusable solution, use a template filter:

@register.filter
def to_class_name(value):
    return value.__class__.__name__

which you can use in your template as:

{{ obj | to_class_name }}
