Hi,
I'd like to dynamically construct a form. Is there a way to do
something like this ...
from django import forms
my_form = forms.Form()
... and then add fields to my_form possibly along with their value.
I've tried to add the fields directly to the fields dictionary and
values to the data dictionary of the my_form instance, but I feel
that's not the right way to do it.
The need for this arises from the wish to allow people to edit a text
field in a structured way and thus avoiding that the fields structure
is messed up. The text field contains a varying number of lines in the
form 'field: value' and instead of letting people edit the text field
directly, giving them a form that is dynamically constructed from the
text field with a simple algorithm:
for line in text_field.splitlines():
field_name, sep, field_value = line.partition(':')
my_form.add_field(field=forms.CharField(name=field_name,
value=field_value))
The algorithm shows a fictive add_field function and instantiates the
CharField with fictive arguments.
When getting back the POST it's easy also to reconstruct the text
field with the posted values.
Any ideas?
Kindly Yours
Marc
