36. Generating HTML forms from models
|
|
|
|
Django provides shortcuts for creating Form objects from a model class and a
|
|
model instance.
|
|
|
|
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: save(). The save() method creates an instance
|
|
of the model and returns that newly created instance. It saves the instance to
|
|
the database if save(commit=True), which is default. If you pass
|
|
commit=False, then you'll get the object without committing the changes to the
|
|
database.
|
|
|
|
The function django.newforms.form_for_instance() takes a model instance and
|
|
returns a Form that is tied to the instance. This form works just like any
|
|
other Form, with one additional method: save(). The save()
|
|
method updates the model instance. It also takes a commit=True parameter.
|
|
|
|
The function django.newforms.save_instance() takes a bound form instance and a
|
|
model instance and saves the form's cleaned_data into the instance. It also takes
|
|
a commit=True parameter.

If you call save() with commit=False, then it will return an object that

save() on the resulting model instance.

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!
|
|
>>> PartialArticleForm = form_for_model(Article, fields=('headline','pub_date'))
|
|
>>> f = PartialArticleForm(auto_id=False)
|
|
>>> print f
|
|
<tr><th>Headline:</th><td><input type="text" name="headline" maxlength="50" /></td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Pub date:</th><td><input type="text" name="pub_date" /></td></tr>
|
|
|
|
You can pass a custom Form class to form_for_model. Make sure it's a
|
|
subclass of BaseForm, not Form.
|
|
>>> class CustomForm(BaseForm):
|
|
... def say_hello(self):
|
|
... print 'hello'
|
|
>>> CategoryForm = form_for_model(Category, form=CustomForm)
|
|
>>> f = CategoryForm()
|
|
>>> f.say_hello()
|
|
hello
|
|
|
|
Use form_for_instance to create a Form from a model instance. The difference
|
|
between this Form and one created via form_for_model is that the object's
|
|
current values are inserted as 'initial' data in each Field.
|
|
>>> w = Writer.objects.get(name='Mike Royko')
|
|
>>> RoykoForm = form_for_instance(w)
|

>>> f = RoykoForm(auto_id=False)

You can create a form over a subset of the available fields
|

by specifying a 'fields' argument to form_for_instance.

|

|
|
<li>Slug: <input type="text" name="slug" value="new-headline" maxlength="50" /></li>
|
|
<li>Pub date: <input type="text" name="pub_date" value="1988-01-04" /></li>

True

Here, we define a custom Form. Because it happens to have the same fields as
|
|
the Category model, we can use save_instance() to apply its changes to an
|
|
existing Category instance.
|
|
>>> class ShortCategory(Form):
|
|
... 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
|
|
>>> sc = ShortCategory({'name': 'Third', 'slug': 'third', 'url': '3rd'})
|
|
>>> save_instance(sc, cat)
|
|
<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.
