All you have to do is create a MyFormMixin class and add all those methods
you want to override. Usually you will want to call super() on the class so
that the normal behavior is also present in your final class.
The difference between a Mixin and a full-fledged Class can be nearly
non-existent in some cases, so don't worry about the terminology. If you
want, you can even subclass 'object' to make it as generic as it gets.
# example.py
class MyFormMixin(object):
def get_form_kwargs(self, *args, **kwargs):
kw = super(MyFormMixin, self).get_form_kwargs(*args, **kwargs)
kw.update({'some': 'extra', 'permantent': 'kwargs'})
return kw
class MyViewWithMixin(MyFormMixin, FormView):
pass
# end example.py
Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.
