Prevalidate Django Forms in the browser
Project description
django-formset – Better UX for Django Forms
<django-formset> is a Webcomponent
used to wrap one or more Django Forms and/or ModelForms.
Example
Say, we have a standard Django Form:
from django.forms import forms, fields
class SubscribeForm(forms.Form):
last_name = fields.CharField(
label="Last name",
min_length=2,
max_length=50,
)
# ... more fields
then we rendering to HTML, we shall wrap that form into our special Webcomponent:
{% load django_formset %}
<django-formset endpoint="{{ request.path }}">
<form name="subscribe">
{% csrf_token %}
{% render_groups form %}
</form>
</django-formset>
this gives our Subscribe Form a much better User eXperience.
Features
- Before submitting, our Form is prevalidated by the browser using the constraints we defined for each field.
- Multiple FormData objects are submitted to an endpoint.
- Server side validation errors are injected back to do form.
- Much better user experience, since form data is sent using Ajax, rather than rerendering everything.
Documentation
Not deployed on RTD, but some documentation can be found in the docs folder.
Motivation
This library shall replace the form-validation framework in django-angular. In many aspects it already
is far superior than the latter. Currently I am working on the Selectize-widget, which shall be used on
Django's forms.models.ModelChoiceField and hence be used for db.models.ForeignKey.
