Using a model formset in a view
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Model formsets are very similar to formsets. Lets say we want to present a
|
||||
formset to a user to edit ``Author`` model instances::
|
||||
|
||||
def manage_authors(request):
|
||||
AuthorFormSet = modelformset_factory(Author)
|
||||
if request.POST == 'POST':
|
||||
formset = AuthorFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES)
|
||||
if formset.is_valid():
|
||||
formset.save()
|
||||
# do something.
|
||||
else:
|
||||
formset = AuthorFormSet()
|
||||
render_to_response("manage_authors.html", {
|
||||
"formset": formset,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see the view is not drastically different than how to use a formset
|
||||
in a view. The only difference is that we call ``formset.save()`` to save the
|
||||
data into the database. This was describe above in :ref:`ref-saving-objects-in-the-formset`.

Using ``inlineformset_factory``
