Gah! We forgot Paul Verlaine. Let's create a formset to edit the existing
authors with an extra form to add him. We *could* pass in a queryset to
restrict the Author objects we edit, but in this case we'll use it to display
them in alphabetical order by name.

>>> qs = Author.objects.order_by('name')
>>> AuthorFormSet = modelformset_factory(Author, extra=1, can_delete=False)

>>> formset = AuthorFormSet(queryset=qs)

<p><label for="id_form-1-name">Name:</label> <input id="id_form-1-name" type="text" name="form-1-name" value="Charles Baudelaire" maxlength="100" /><input type="hidden" name="form-1-id" value="1" id="id_form-1-id" /></p>

Paul Verlaine


This probably shouldn't happen, but it will. If an add form was marked for
deltetion, make sure we don't save that form.

>>> qs = Author.objects.order_by('name')
>>> AuthorFormSet = modelformset_factory(Author, extra=1, can_delete=True)

>>> formset = AuthorFormSet(queryset=qs)
>>> for form in formset.forms:

Let's edit a record to ensure save only returns that one record.

>>> data = {
...     'form-TOTAL_FORMS': '4', # the number of forms rendered
...     'form-INITIAL_FORMS': '3', # the number of forms with initial data
...     'form-0-id': '2',
...     'form-0-name': 'Walt Whitman',
...     'form-1-id': '1',
...     'form-1-name': 'Charles Baudelaire',
...     'form-2-id': '3',
...     'form-2-name': 'Paul Verlaine',
...     'form-3-name': '',
...     'form-3-DELETE': '',
... }

>>> formset = AuthorFormSet(data=data, queryset=qs)
>>> formset.is_valid()
True

# One record has changed.
>>> formset.save()
[<Author: Walt Whitman>]

Test the behavior of commit=False and save_m2m

>>> meeting = AuthorMeeting.objects.create(created=date.today())
>>> meeting.authors = Author.objects.all()

# create an Author instance to add to the meeting.
>>> new_author = Author.objects.create(name=u'John Steinbeck')

>>> AuthorMeetingFormSet = modelformset_factory(AuthorMeeting, extra=1, can_delete=True)
>>> data = {
...     'form-TOTAL_FORMS': '2', # the number of forms rendered
...     'form-INITIAL_FORMS': '1', # the number of forms with initial data
...     'form-0-id': '1',
...     'form-0-name': '2nd Tuesday of the Week Meeting',
...     'form-0-authors': [2, 1, 3, 4],
...     'form-1-name': '',
...     'form-1-authors': '',
...     'form-1-DELETE': '',
... }
>>> formset = AuthorMeetingFormSet(data=data, queryset=AuthorMeeting.objects.all())
>>> formset.is_valid()
True
>>> instances = formset.save(commit=False)
>>> for instance in instances:
...     instance.created = date.today()
...     instance.save()
>>> formset.save_m2m()
>>> instances[0].authors.all()
[<Author: Charles Baudelaire>, <Author: John Steinbeck>, <Author: Paul Verlaine>, <Author: Walt Whitman>]

# delete the author we created to allow later tests to continue working.
>>> new_author.delete()

Test the behavior of max_num with model formsets. It should properly limit
the queryset to reduce the amount of objects being pulled in when not being
used.

>>> qs = Author.objects.order_by('name')

>>> AuthorFormSet = modelformset_factory(Author, max_num=2)
>>> formset = AuthorFormSet(queryset=qs)
>>> formset.initial
[{'id': 1, 'name': u'Charles Baudelaire'}, {'id': 3, 'name': u'Paul Verlaine'}]

>>> AuthorFormSet = modelformset_factory(Author, max_num=3)
>>> formset = AuthorFormSet(queryset=qs)
>>> formset.initial
[{'id': 1, 'name': u'Charles Baudelaire'}, {'id': 3, 'name': u'Paul Verlaine'}, {'id': 2, 'name': u'Walt Whitman'}]

# Inline Formsets ############################################################

We can also create a formset that is tied to a parent model. This is how the
admin system's edit inline functionality works.

>>> from django.forms.models import inlineformset_factory

>>> AuthorBooksFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Author, Book, can_delete=False, extra=3)
>>> author = Author.objects.get(name='Charles Baudelaire')

>>> formset = AuthorBooksFormSet(instance=author)
>>> for form in formset.forms:
...     print form.as_p()
<p><label for="id_book_set-0-title">Title:</label> <input id="id_book_set-0-title" type="text" name="book_set-0-title" maxlength="100" /><input type="hidden" name="book_set-0-id" id="id_book_set-0-id" /></p>
<p><label for="id_book_set-1-title">Title:</label> <input id="id_book_set-1-title" type="text" name="book_set-1-title" maxlength="100" /><input type="hidden" name="book_set-1-id" id="id_book_set-1-id" /></p>
<p><label for="id_book_set-2-title">Title:</label> <input id="id_book_set-2-title" type="text" name="book_set-2-title" maxlength="100" /><input type="hidden" name="book_set-2-id" id="id_book_set-2-id" /></p>

>>> data = {
...     'book_set-TOTAL_FORMS': '3', # the number of forms rendered
...     'book_set-INITIAL_FORMS': '0', # the number of forms with initial data
...     'book_set-0-title': 'Les Fleurs du Mal',
...     'book_set-1-title': '',
...     'book_set-2-title': '',
... }

>>> formset = AuthorBooksFormSet(data, instance=author)
>>> formset.is_valid()
True

>>> formset.save()
[<Book: Les Fleurs du Mal>]

>>> for book in author.book_set.all():
...     print book.title
Les Fleurs du Mal


Now that we've added a book to Charles Baudelaire, let's try adding another
one. This time though, an edit form will be available for every existing
book.

>>> AuthorBooksFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Author, Book, can_delete=False, extra=2)
>>> author = Author.objects.get(name='Charles Baudelaire')

>>> formset = AuthorBooksFormSet(instance=author)
>>> for form in formset.forms:
...     print form.as_p()
<p><label for="id_book_set-0-title">Title:</label> <input id="id_book_set-0-title" type="text" name="book_set-0-title" value="Les Fleurs du Mal" maxlength="100" /><input type="hidden" name="book_set-0-id" value="1" id="id_book_set-0-id" /></p>
<p><label for="id_book_set-1-title">Title:</label> <input id="id_book_set-1-title" type="text" name="book_set-1-title" maxlength="100" /><input type="hidden" name="book_set-1-id" id="id_book_set-1-id" /></p>
<p><label for="id_book_set-2-title">Title:</label> <input id="id_book_set-2-title" type="text" name="book_set-2-title" maxlength="100" /><input type="hidden" name="book_set-2-id" id="id_book_set-2-id" /></p>

>>> data = {
...     'book_set-TOTAL_FORMS': '3', # the number of forms rendered
...     'book_set-INITIAL_FORMS': '1', # the number of forms with initial data
...     'book_set-0-id': '1',
...     'book_set-0-title': 'Les Fleurs du Mal',
...     'book_set-1-title': 'Le Spleen de Paris',
...     'book_set-2-title': '',
... }

>>> formset = AuthorBooksFormSet(data, instance=author)
>>> formset.is_valid()
True

>>> formset.save()
[<Book: Le Spleen de Paris>]

As you can see, 'Le Spleen de Paris' is now a book belonging to Charles Baudelaire.

>>> for book in author.book_set.order_by('id'):
...     print book.title
Les Fleurs du Mal
Le Spleen de Paris

The save_as_new parameter lets you re-associate the data to a new instance.
This is used in the admin for save_as functionality.

>>> data = {
...     'book_set-TOTAL_FORMS': '3', # the number of forms rendered
...     'book_set-INITIAL_FORMS': '2', # the number of forms with initial data
...     'book_set-0-id': '1',
...     'book_set-0-title': 'Les Fleurs du Mal',
...     'book_set-1-id': '2',
...     'book_set-1-title': 'Le Spleen de Paris',
...     'book_set-2-title': '',
... }

>>> formset = AuthorBooksFormSet(data, instance=Author(), save_as_new=True)
>>> formset.is_valid()
True

>>> new_author = Author.objects.create(name='Charles Baudelaire')
>>> formset.instance = new_author
>>> [book for book in formset.save() if book.author.pk == new_author.pk]
[<Book: Les Fleurs du Mal>, <Book: Le Spleen de Paris>]

Test using a custom prefix on an inline formset.

>>> formset = AuthorBooksFormSet(prefix="test")
>>> for form in formset.forms:
...     print form.as_p()
<p><label for="id_test-0-title">Title:</label> <input id="id_test-0-title" type="text" name="test-0-title" maxlength="100" /><input type="hidden" name="test-0-id" id="id_test-0-id" /></p>
<p><label for="id_test-1-title">Title:</label> <input id="id_test-1-title" type="text" name="test-1-title" maxlength="100" /><input type="hidden" name="test-1-id" id="id_test-1-id" /></p>
