Regarding form creation, you can create forms as it were procedurally:
from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError
from django.forms import forms
from django.forms import fields
from django.forms import widgets
# factory
def FormClass(name_, **kw):
return forms.DeclarativeFieldsMetaclass(name_, (forms.BaseForm,),
kw)
# widgets
Textarea = widgets.Textarea({'rows': '30'})
# fields
NameField = fields.CharField(label='Name', max_length=50)
BioField = fields.CharField(label='Bio', widget=Textarea,
required=False)
# validators
def clean_name(form):
if form.cleaned_data['name'].startswith('J'):
raise ValidationError("Invalid User")
return form.cleaned_data['name']
# forms
RegistrationForm = FormClass(
'frm1234',
name = NameField,
bio = BioField,
clean_name=clean_name,
)
print type(RegistrationForm)
form = RegistrationForm({'name': 'Bob'})
assert form.is_valid()
form = RegistrationForm({'name': 'Joe'})
assert not form.is_valid()
print form['name']
print form['name'].errors
