Hello!
I’m attempting to add two variables using the add filter and then multiple the result
{{item.options.price|add:item.unit_price|multiply:item.quantity|floatformat:2}}This works fine if both item.options.price and item.unit_price are whole numbers. If one is a decimal, the addition does not happen.
I’ve also tried a simplified version
{{item.unit_price|add:0.25}}And only the item.unit_price is shown without 0.25 added.
Can the add filter handle decimals?
After some more digging, it looks like the add filter coerces both values to integers: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/templates/builtins/#add
If you are trying to add a constant decimal (like 0.25) to a variable, you can probably do something like this:
{{item.unit_price|multiply:100|add:25|divide:100}}But this approach won’t work for adding two variables together.
