We utilize Django Forms to collect user data to put in a database. For various purposes, Django provides a range of model field forms with various field patterns. The most important characteristic of Django forms is their ability to handle the foundations of form construction in only a few lines of code. Although the developer has the option of designing a form from scratch, it is much easier to use the Django model form, which controls the essential elements of a user form.
Django Form | Form fields Validation
Integrated Form In Django Forms, all fields have predefined field validations that are used by default. Every field already includes certain built-in Django validators. Every constructor of the Field class has a set of required arguments. Some Field classes require extra arguments that are peculiar to the field but required should always be accepted.
Django Form | Required Fields
The required is often used to make the field optional that is the user would no longer be required to enter the data into that field and it will still be accepted.
Syntax
field_name = models.Field(required = value)
Django Form | Label Fields
The field’s display name can be changed using the label. The label will take a string that represents the new field name as input. The field name is used to create the default label for a Field, which is created by changing all underscores to spaces and capitalizing the initial letter.
Syntax
field_name = models.Field(label = value)
Django Form | Label_suffix Fields
The label_suffix is used to append some text after the label of the field (default is ” : “). label_suffix accepts as input a string which is the new label_suffix of the field.
Syntax
field_name = models.Field(label_suffix = value)
Django Form | Initial Fields
The initial is used to change the value of the field in the input tag when rendering this Field in an unbound Form. initial accepts as input a string which is a new value of the field.
Syntax
field_name = models.Field(initial = value)
Django Form | Help_text Fields
The help_text argument lets you specify descriptive text for this Field. If you provide help_text, it will be displayed next to the Field when the Field is rendered by one of the convenience Form methods.
Syntax
field_name = models.Field(help_text = value)
Django Form | Error_messages Fields
You can specify manual error messages for field attributes using the error_messages option. You can override the field’s default messages by using the error_messages option. Send a dictionary containing words that correspond to the error messages you want to override.
Syntax
field_name = models.Field(error_messages = value)
Django Form | Disabled Fields
The disabled boolean argument, when set to True, disables a form field using the disabled HTML attribute so that it won’t be editable by users.
Syntax
field_name = models.Field(disabled = value)
Django Form | Validators Fields
A validator is a callable that takes a value and raises a ValidationError if it doesn’t meet the criteria. Validators can be useful for re-using validation logic between different types of fields.
Syntax
field_name = models.Field(validators = [value])
