Checking if form data has changed
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: Form.has_changed()
|
||||
|
||||
Use the ``has_changed()`` method on your ``Form`` when you need to check if the
|
||||
form data has been changed from the initial data.
|
||||
|
||||
>>> data = {'subject': 'hello',
|
||||
... 'message': 'Hi there',
|
||||
... 'sender': 'foo@example.com',
|
||||
... 'cc_myself': True}
|
||||
>>> f = ContactForm(initial=data)
|
||||
>>> f.has_changed()
|
||||
False
|
||||
|
||||
When the form is submitted, we reconstruct it and provide the original data
|
||||
so that the comparison can be done:
|
||||
|
||||
>>> f = ContactForm(request.POST, initial=data)
|
||||
>>> f.has_changed()
|
||||
|
||||
``has_changed()`` will be ``True`` if the data from ``request.POST`` differs
|
||||
from what was provided in :attr:`~Form.initial` or ``False`` otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
Accessing the fields from the form
