Hello,
Suppose I have a model with a foreign key.
class Building(models.Model):
pass
class Inhabitant(models.Model):
building = models.ForeignKey(Building)
I would like to display a form where all fields from the Building model and
Inhabitant model are visible (but only once)
Should I create 2 forms, one for Building and one for Inhabitant ? And upon
submission add the Building to the Inhabitant.
Currently I've worked together a little working something using the CreateView
(Generic views)
def post(..)
self.inhabitant_form = InhabitantForm(data=request.POST)
if form.is_valid() and self.inhabitant_form.is_valid():
….
def form_valid(self, form):
# form is an instance of BuildingForm
building = form.instance
building.save()
# I'm also overriding the post method where self.inhabitant_form is being
set
inhabitant = self.inhabitant_form.instance
self.inhabitant.building = building
self.inhabitant.save()
Am I on the right path or are there are better ways of handling such situations
?
Regards,
Jonas.
