acess each row before rendering django tables2

I am using djangotables2 to simply render my table but I want to check some condition on each row of a column and print some addition to that value
but I can not find anyway to do so
Is it posible in djangotables2?
view

class BowlerList(LoginRequiredMixin, PagedFilteredTableView):
model = Bowlers
template_name = 'bowlers_list.html'
table_class = BowlerTable
filter_class = BowlerListFilter
formhelper_class = BowlerListFormHelper

def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(BowlerList, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['select_list'] = UserSelect.objects.filter(user=self.request.user)
return context


table

class BowlerTable(dt2.Table):
name = tables.LinkColumn('bowler-detail', args=[A('pk')])

class Meta:
model = Bowlers
fields = ('name', 'ahprank', 'pcarank')
template_name = 'django_tables2/bootstrap-responsive.html'
attrs = 'class': 'table table-striped table-bordered table-hover'
per_page = 10


template

% render_table table %


i need to compare Name column values with the value I will be getting in my "select_list" which I am getting through the views as context data

According to the documentation you can customize the way each cell is rendered. Check it here: https://django-tables2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pages/custom-data.html#table-render-foo-methods

basically you would add the render_<column_name> method and do your stuff there. Like this:

render_<column_name>

class BowlerTable(dt2.Table):
name = tables.LinkColumn('bowler-detail', args=[A('pk')])

class Meta:
model = Bowlers
fields = ('name', 'ahprank', 'pcarank')
template_name = 'django_tables2/bootstrap-responsive.html'
attrs = 'class': 'table table-striped table-bordered table-hover'
per_page = 10

def render_name(self, record):
# Your code here


The only thing extra that you might need, is to pass the select_list in the initialization (__init__) of the table object, to be able to access it in the new method.

select_list

__init__
