Hello,
I am new to Django. I tried experimenting with create_update generic
view, exploring the template tags, especially concerning widgets.
From my reading of the documentation, within the
<lowercase_model_name>_form.html is passed the model form (either
passed in, or the framework create one), and therefore, the model
fields are accessible, and can be used as tags. QUESTION: How about
the attributes of the field?
If I use widget, it works nicely. That is, the attribute 'max_length'
is properly rendered as maxlength.
However, if the tags try access to attributes within the model
fields, it does *not* work for all attributes, except label.
Can I be enlighten on :Is this the right approach ? Are tags like
{{ form.title.max_length }} is syntactically correct?
___ model.py ___
class Example(models.Model):
"""An Example"""
title = models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=30)
___ example_form.html ___
<form action ="" method="POST" name="exampleForm"
Title: {{ form.title }}
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Example" id="submit">
</form>
<br>
This is OKAY: {{ form.title.label }} :
<br>
This is NOT okay: {{ form.title.max_length }}
<br>
===
p/s: usefulness : explore doing sway with widgets, and exploring
using some kind of javascript ui library, extracting attributes like
max_length as arguments to javascript function call).
