auto

The auto configuration namespace is used to generate forms/tables/etc from Django models. The simplest example is:

form = Form(auto__model=Album)

▼ Hide result

By default you will get all fields from the model except the primary key. You can use include to include it again:

form = Form(
    auto__model=Album,
    fields__pk__include=True,
)

▼ Hide result

You can specify which model fields to include via auto__include to include just the fields you want, or auto__exclude to take all fields except some excluded fields. Fields/columns/etc can be excluded/included later using include on the field:

form = Form(
    auto__model=Album,
    auto__include=['name', 'artist', 'year'],
    fields__name__include=False,
)
