Is it better to perform logical conditions in view or template?

I'm starting to learn Django and I'm completely new to the MVC/MTV (whatever you want to call it) playground.

In Django templates can perform logical conditions and filters. I want to know from a performance standpoint, is it better to do the conditions in the view or on the template itself.

I actually find my self more comfortable with doing everything behind t开发者_StackOverflowhe scenes and if there is no difference in terms of performance, then I'd rather do it from the view.

I suggest separating your logic in the following way:

• Implement the logic belonging to what your application is doing under the hood in your Django handlers. It usually covers most of your logic.

• Implement only the logic belonging to the actual presentation in your HTML templates. For example you can put you logic selecting different styles for various rows of a table based on a complex condition (not just odd/even) or so.

It worked pretty well for me.
