Hello.
I'm trying to do what I like to call "dynamically set a form's field".
I want the user to input a dictionary e.g.
{ 'intField' : 'int',
'strField' : 'str' }
...to the constructor of the form which will then create the fields
'intField' (forms.IntegerField) and 'strField' (forms.CharField).
I have looked at Django's forms.py but I can't figure out how to do
it. This is what I have so far, which of course is not working:
class DynamicForm(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, data):
# The translations between types and fields.
field_from_type = {
'int' : forms.IntegerField,
'float' : forms.FloatField,
'boolean' : forms.BooleanField,
'string' : forms.CharField,
}
# Dynamically add fields and stuff.
for k, v in data.iteritems():
setattr(self, k, field_from_type[v]())
super(DynamicForm, self).__init__(data)
