Django-pony-forms helps you to write better html for your Django forms

Project description

Django-pony-forms helps you to write better html for your Django forms.

Read the documentation on readthedocs

1: Better form html by default

The form html that Django produces is not very nice or useful. For example, the default output of a Django form is a table.

Just mixin PonyFormMixin to produce better html:

class ExampleForm(PonyFormMixin, forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField()

This produces the following html:

<div class="form-row row-name">
    <label for="id_name">Name</label>
    <input type="text" id="id_name" name="name" />
</div>

2: Write your own form templates

You can also write your own form templates:

class ExampleForm(PonyFormMixin, forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField()

    form_template = 'my_form.html'
    row_template = 'my_row.html'

my_form.html:

<div class="my_form">
    {{ hidden_fields }}
    {{ top_errors }}
    {{ rows }}
</div>
