Form#

Base class: Part

Describe a Form. Example:

class MyForm(Form):
    a = Field()
    b = Field.email()

form = MyForm().bind(request=request)

You can also create an instance of a form with this syntax if it’s more convenient:

form = Form(
    fields=dict(
        a=Field(),
        b=Field.email(),
    ),
).bind(request=request)

In the common case the fields namespace will contain only instances of Field, but iommi actually supports arbitrary Part objects. For example:

form = Form(
    fields=dict(
        # Display a and b inside a box
        box=html.div(
            attrs__class__box=True,
            children__a=Field(),
            children__b=Field.email(),
        ),
        # And c regularly
        c=Field(),
    )
)

So that writing the application logic (e.g. validation and post handlers) is independent of minor changes to the layout, after bind the fields namespace of the form will contain only instances of Field keyed by their _name independently of how deep they are in the hierarchy. Given the above, an appropriate post_handler would be:

def post_handler(form, **_):
    if not form.is_valid():
        return

    print(form.fields.a.value, form.fields.b.value, form.fields.c.value)
    # And not:
    # print(form.fields.box.a.value, form.fields.box.b.value, form.fields.c.value)

Methods#

add_error#

Explicitly add an error message to the forms global error set.

Example:

def post_validation(form, **_):
    form.add_error('global error')

form = Form.create(
    auto__model=Album,
    post_validation=post_validation,
)
▼ Hide result

apply#

Write the new values specified in the form into the instance specified.

as_view#

get_errors#

Get a dict containing two keys:

  • global for errors global to the entire form.

  • fields for errors specific to fields. This is itself a dict with a key for each field.

is_target#

is_valid#

Is the form valid? Can be called inside forms post_validation hook to determine if the individual fields were all valid.

on_bind#

on_refine_done#
