Django Forms

Django's form functionality automates tasks related to data preparation, HTML rendering, and form processing, enhancing security and efficiency. It distinguishes between bound forms, which validate and display data, and unbound forms, which only render blank forms. To create a Django form, developers define a class in a 'forms.py' file and render it in templates, with various options for displaying the form elements.

Django Form

● Django’s form functionality can simplify and automate vast portions of work
like data prepared for display in a form, rendered as HTML, edit using a
convenient interface, returned to the server, validated and cleaned up etc.
● It can also do it more securely than most programmers would be able to do in
code they wrote themselves.

Django Form

Django handles three distinct parts of the work involved in forms:


● Preparing and restructuring data to make it ready for rendering
● Creating HTML forms for the data
● Receiving and processing submitted forms and data from the client

Types of Forms

● Bound Forms:
● If it’s bound to a set of data, it’s capable of validating that data and rendering
the form as HTML with the data displayed in the HTML.

● Unbound Forms:
● If it’s unbound, it cannot do validation (because there’s no data to validate!),
but it can still render the blank form as HTML.

Create Django Form using Form Class

● To create Django form we have to create a new file inside application folder
lets say file name is forms.py.

● Syntax:
from django import forms
class FormClassName(forms.Form):
label=forms.FieldType()
label=forms.FieldType(label=‘display_label’)

Display Form to User

● Create an object of Form class in views.py then pass object to template files
● Use Form object in template file

from .forms import StudentRegistration


def showformdata(request):
fm = StudentRegistration()
return render(request, ‘enroll/userregistration.html’, {‘form’:fm})

Get object from views.py in template file
{{form}} doesn’t add form tag and button so we have to add them manually.

templates/enroll / userregistration.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form action =“” method=“get”>
{{form}}
<input type=“submit” value=“Submit”>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Form Rendering Options

● {{form}} will render them all


● {{ form.as_table }} will render them as table cells wrapped in <tr> tags
● {{ form.as_p }} will render them wrapped in <p> tags
● {{ form.as_ul }} will render them wrapped in <li> tags
● {{ form.name_of_field }} will render field manually as given
