Field

Base class: Part

Class that describes a field, i.e. what input controls to render, the label, etc.

See Form for more complete examples.

The life cycle of the data is:

1. raw_data: will be set if the corresponding key is present in the HTTP request

2. parsed_data: set if parsing is successful, which only happens if the previous step succeeded

3. value: set if validation is successful, which only happens if the previous step succeeded

Note that, in addition to the parameters with the defined behavior below, you can pass in any keyword argument you need yourself, including callables that conform to the protocol, and they will be added and evaluated as members.

All these parameters can be callables, and if they are, will be evaluated with the keyword arguments form and field. The only exceptions are is_valid (which gets form, field and parsed_data), render_value (which takes form, field and value) and parse (which gets form, field, string_value). Example of using a lambda to specify a value:

Field(attrs__id=lambda form, field: 'my_id_%s' % field._name)

  Type: bool

  Default: False

• is_valid

  Validation function. Should return a tuple of (bool, reason_for_failure_if_bool_is_false) or raise ValidationError.

form = Form.create(
    auto__model=Artist,

sentinel = '!!custom!!'
form = Form(
    fields__foo=Field(
        initial='not sentinel value',
