34. Generating HTML forms from models
|
|
|
|
Django provides shortcuts for creating Form objects from a model class.
|
|
|
|
The function django.newforms.form_for_model() takes a model class and returns
|
|
a Form that is tied to the model. This Form works just like any other Form,
|
|
with one additional method: create(). The create() method creates an instance
|
|
of the model and returns that newly created instance. It saves the instance to
|
|
the database if create(save=True), which is default. If you pass
|
|
create(save=False), then you'll get the object without saving it.
