In a Django ModelForm, you can change the widget type of a field like so:
class EntryForm(ModelForm):
entity = forms.CharField()
class Meta:
model = Entry
I can easily create a modelformset from the same model like so:
EntryFormSet = modelformset_factory(Entry)
But is there a way to include the input field type change change when creating a modelformset?
Every field comes in with built-in validations from Django validators. One can also add more built-in field validations for applying or removing certain constraints on a particular field. editable=False will make the field disappear from all forms including admin and ModelForm i.e., it can not be edited using any form.
Set the exclude attribute of the ModelForm 's inner Meta class to a list of fields to be excluded from the form.
Fields in Django are the data types to store a particular type of data. For example, to store an integer, IntegerField would be used. These fields have in-built validation for a particular data type, that is you can not store “abc” in an IntegerField. Similarly, for other fields.
EntryFormSet = modelformset_factory(Entry, form=EntryForm)
modelformset_factory
takes a keyword argument form
, which -- I believe -- will let you pass your form class and have it used...
