Showing and hiding menu items in django based on a non-permissions criteria?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I have a field on a Company called leave_approvers which is a ManyToManyField to Users.
The leave_approvers can approve leave of other users in the company they are a leave approver for. They also receive an email when leave is requested.
I would now like to show or hide the Approve Leave tab in the main layout based on whether the user is a leave_approver.
Is the decision to have a
leave_approverfield flawed as I should be using the built in authorisation or something like django-guardian. Note that I am sending an email to theleave_approversand that would meanCan I just make a query in the
base.htmlto check if a user is aleave_approver. How can this be done and surely there is a performance hit?

After consideration making use of django permissions (which are added to the context via a context processor automatically) is the best route in my opinion.
Using something like this in the template:
{% if perms.foo.can_vote %}
However, in my case I cut corners and make a query for all the leave approvers in the base template which is much slower than the prebuilt perms in the context.
{% if user in user.company.leave_approvers.all %}
<li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
<li><a href="{% url 'leave:pending' %}">Pending Leave Approval</a></li>
{% endif %}
