Is there any way to get the id of a field in a template?
In the HTML I get: <input name="field_name" id="id_field_name"...
I know I can get the name with {{ field.html_name }}, but is there anything similar for getting the id?
Or can I only get it like this: id_{{ field.html_name }}?

Basically to extract data from a form field of a form, all you have to do is use the form. is_valid() function along with the form. cleaned_data. get() function, passing in the name of the form field into this function as a parameter.
form. cleaned_data returns a dictionary of validated form input fields and their values, where string primary keys are returned as objects. form. data returns a dictionary of un-validated form input fields and their values in string format (i.e. not objects).
The form body contains Field elements that define how each element of the Web page appears and behaves. Each Field can contain other fields, each with its own display component. Form fields comprise several parts, which are encapsulated by the <Field> tag set: Value Expressions.
forms.py is where the django documentation recommends you place all your forms code; to keep your code easily maintainable. Also, since its a convention mentioned in the documentation, it helps when you are collaborating with others because that is where others will expect to look for your code dealing with forms.
You can get the ID like this:
{{ field.auto_id }} You can also use id_for_label:
{{ field.id_for_label }} If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
