I have a django model like below
models.py
class Product(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length = 300)
description = models.TextField(max_length = 2000)
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add = True)
updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now = True)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
forms.py
class ProductForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Product
exclude = ('updated', 'created')
product_form.py(just an example)
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="{% url 'add_a_product' %}" method="post">
<div id="name">
{{form.name}}
</div>
<div id="description">
{{form.description}}
</div>
</form>
Actually I want to display/render the html output like below
<input id="common_id_for_inputfields" type="text" placeholder="Name" class="input-calss_name" name="Name">
<input id="common_id_for_inputfields" type="text" placeholder="Description" class="input-calss_name" name="description">
So finally how to add attributes(id, placeholder, class)to the model form fields in the above code ?
You can do the following:
#forms.py
class ProductForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Product
exclude = ('updated', 'created')
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(ProductForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['description'].widget = TextInput(attrs={
'id': 'myCustomId',
'class': 'myCustomClass',
'name': 'myCustomName',
'placeholder': 'myCustomPlaceholder'})
