Here’s Django’s documentation on widgets: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/forms/widgets/ >From the docs: A widget is Django’s representation of an HTML input element.
This whole idea would take some time to implement and consider ramifications. After all, a hyperlink isn’t really an HTML input element. You have urlpatterns being a list of url objects. If you could somehow take the attributes of the url object and copy them to a widget (through an __init__ method, for instance), and allow the user to customize those attributes in the URLWidget class. The really tricky thing about it, though, would be handling permissions. I think it is a DRY way of handling the situation. So the data comes from your urls file, where it is also stored. The input of the widget would be the url objects from the urls file.

Let me think about it. A widget is a libray, is source code. The code needs some data to operate on. Where should the data come from? Where should I store the data? What kind of data/input does the widget need? I have no clue -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
