"""
XX. Generating HTML forms from models

This is mostly just a reworking of the ``form_for_model``/``form_for_instance``
tests to use ``ModelForm``. As such, the text may not make sense in all cases,
and the examples are probably a poor fit for the ``ModelForm`` syntax. In other
words, most of these tests should be rewritten.

>>> class CategoryForm(ModelForm):

Extra fields.

...
...     class Meta:
...         model = Category

>>> CategoryForm.base_fields.keys()
['name', 'slug', 'url', 'some_extra_field']

Extra field that has a name collision with a related object accessor.

>>> class WriterForm(ModelForm):
...     book = forms.CharField(required=False)
...
...     class Meta:
...         model = Writer

>>> wf = WriterForm({'name': 'Richard Lockridge'})
>>> wf.is_valid()
True

Replacing a field.

>>> class CategoryForm(ModelForm):
...     url = forms.BooleanField()
...
...     class Meta:
...         model = Category

>>> CategoryForm.base_fields['url'].__class__
<class 'django.forms.fields.BooleanField'>


Using 'fields'.

>>> class CategoryForm(ModelForm):
...
...     class Meta:
...         model = Category
...         fields = ['url']

>>> CategoryForm.base_fields.keys()

Using 'exclude'

>>> class CategoryForm(ModelForm):
...
...     class Meta:
...         model = Category
...         exclude = ['url']

>>> CategoryForm.base_fields.keys()
['name', 'slug']


Using 'fields' *and* 'exclude'. Not sure why you'd want to do this, but uh,
"be liberal in what you accept" and all.

>>> class CategoryForm(ModelForm):
...
...     class Meta:
...         model = Category
...         fields = ['name', 'url']
...         exclude = ['url']

>>> CategoryForm.base_fields.keys()
['name']

Using 'widgets'

>>> class CategoryForm(ModelForm):
...
...     class Meta:
...         model = Category
...         fields = ['name', 'url', 'slug']
...         widgets = {
...             'name': forms.Textarea,
...             'url': forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'url'})
...         }

>>> str(CategoryForm()['name'])
'<textarea id="id_name" rows="10" cols="40" name="name"></textarea>'

'<input id="id_url" type="text" class="url" name="url" maxlength="40" />'

>>> str(CategoryForm()['slug'])
'<input id="id_slug" type="text" name="slug" maxlength="20" />'

Don't allow more than one 'model' definition in the inheritance hierarchy.
Technically, it would generate a valid form, but the fact that the resulting
save method won't deal with multiple objects is likely to trip up people not
familiar with the mechanics.

>>> class CategoryForm(ModelForm):
...     class Meta:
...         model = Category

>>> class OddForm(CategoryForm):
...     class Meta:
...         model = Article

OddForm is now an Article-related thing, because BadForm.Meta overrides
CategoryForm.Meta.
>>> OddForm.base_fields.keys()
['headline', 'slug', 'pub_date', 'writer', 'article', 'status', 'categories']

>>> class ArticleForm(ModelForm):
...     class Meta:
...         model = Article

First class with a Meta class wins.

>>> class BadForm(ArticleForm, CategoryForm):
...     pass
>>> OddForm.base_fields.keys()
['headline', 'slug', 'pub_date', 'writer', 'article', 'status', 'categories']

Subclassing without specifying a Meta on the class will use the parent's Meta
(or the first parent in the MRO if there are multiple parent classes).

>>> class CategoryForm(ModelForm):
...     class Meta:
...         model = Category
>>> class SubCategoryForm(CategoryForm):
...     pass
>>> SubCategoryForm.base_fields.keys()
['name', 'slug', 'url']

We can also subclass the Meta inner class to change the fields list.

>>> class CategoryForm(ModelForm):
...     checkbox = forms.BooleanField()
...
...     class Meta:
...         model = Category
>>> class SubCategoryForm(CategoryForm):
...     class Meta(CategoryForm.Meta):
...         exclude = ['url']

>>> print SubCategoryForm()
<tr><th><label for="id_name">Name:</label></th><td><input id="id_name" type="text" name="name" maxlength="20" /></td></tr>
<tr><th><label for="id_slug">Slug:</label></th><td><input id="id_slug" type="text" name="slug" maxlength="20" /></td></tr>

If you call save() with commit=False, then it will return an object that
hasn't yet been saved to the database. In this case, it's up to you to call
save() on the resulting model instance.

Create a couple of Writers.

ManyToManyFields are represented by a MultipleChoiceField, ForeignKeys and any
fields with the 'choices' attribute are represented by a ChoiceField.

You can restrict a form to a subset of the complete list of fields
by providing a 'fields' argument. If you try to save a
model created with such a form, you need to ensure that the fields
that are _not_ on the form have default values, or are allowed to have
a value of None. If a field isn't specified on a form, the object created
from the form can't provide a value for that field!

inserted as 'initial' data in each Field.

Here, we define a custom ModelForm. Because it happens to have the same fields as
the Category model, we can just call the form's save() to apply its changes to an
existing Category instance.
>>> class ShortCategory(ModelForm):
...     name = CharField(max_length=5)
...     slug = CharField(max_length=5)
...     url = CharField(max_length=3)
>>> cat = Category.objects.get(name='Third test')
>>> cat
<Category: Third test>
>>> cat.id
3
>>> form = ShortCategory({'name': 'Third', 'slug': 'third', 'url': '3rd'}, instance=cat)
>>> form.save()
<Category: Third>
>>> Category.objects.get(id=3)
<Category: Third>

Here, we demonstrate that choices for a ForeignKey ChoiceField are determined
at runtime, based on the data in the database when the form is displayed, not
the data in the database when the form is instantiated.

This Price instance generated by this form is not valid because the quantity
field is required, but the form is valid because the field is excluded from
the form. This is for backwards compatibility.

The form should not validate fields that it doesn't contain even if they are
specified using 'fields', not 'exclude'.

...         model = Price
...         fields = ('price',)

The form should still have an instance of a model that is not complete and
not saved into a DB yet.

>>> form.instance.price
Decimal('6.00')
>>> form.instance.quantity is None
True
>>> form.instance.pk is None
True
