.. module:: django.forms.widgets
|
|
:synopsis: Django's built-in form widgets.
|
|
|
|
.. currentmodule:: django.forms
|
|
|
|
A widget is Django's representation of a HTML input element. The widget
|
|
handles the rendering of the HTML, and the extraction of data from a GET/POST
|
|
dictionary that corresponds to the widget.
|
|
|
|
Django provides a representation of all the basic HTML widgets, plus some
|
|
commonly used groups of widgets:
|
|
|
|
.. class:: TextInput
|
|
|
|
Text input: ``<input type='text' ...>``
|
|
|
|
.. class:: PasswordInput
|
|
|
|
Password input: ``<input type='password' ...>``
|
|
|
|
Takes one optional argument:
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: PasswordInput.render_value
|
|
|
|
Determines whether the widget will have a value filled in when the
|
|
form is re-displayed after a validation error (default is ``False``).
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.3
|
|
The default value for
|
|
:attr:`~PasswordInput.render_value` was
|
|
changed from ``True`` to ``False``
|
|
|
|
.. class:: HiddenInput
|
|
|
|
Hidden input: ``<input type='hidden' ...>``
|

|
|
|
|
.. class:: ClearableFileInput
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.3
|
|
|
|
File upload input: ``<input type='file' ...>``, with an additional checkbox

|
|
|
|
Specifying widgets
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: Form.widget
|
|
|
|
Whenever you specify a field on a form, Django will use a default widget
|
|
that is appropriate to the type of data that is to be displayed. To find
|
|
which widget is used on which field, see the documentation for the
|
|
built-in Field classes.
|
|
|
|
However, if you want to use a different widget for a field, you can -
|
|
just use the 'widget' argument on the field definition. For example::
|
|
|
|
from django import forms
|
|
|
|
class CommentForm(forms.Form):
|
|
name = forms.CharField()
|
|
url = forms.URLField()
|
|
comment = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)
|
|
|
|
This would specify a form with a comment that uses a larger Textarea widget,
|
|
rather than the default TextInput widget.
|
|
|
|
Customizing widget instances
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
When Django renders a widget as HTML, it only renders the bare minimum
|
|
HTML - Django doesn't add a class definition, or any other widget-specific
|
|
attributes. This means that all 'TextInput' widgets will appear the same
|
|
on your Web page.
|
|
|
|
If you want to make one widget look different to another, you need to
|
|
specify additional attributes for each widget. When you specify a
|
|
widget, you can provide a list of attributes that will be added to the
|
|
rendered HTML for the widget.
|
|
|
|
For example, take the following simple form::
|
|
|
|
class CommentForm(forms.Form):
|
|
name = forms.CharField()
|
|
url = forms.URLField()
|
|
comment = forms.CharField()
|
|
|
|
This form will include three default TextInput widgets, with default rendering -
|
|
no CSS class, no extra attributes. This means that the input boxes provided for
|
|
each widget will be rendered exactly the same::
|
|
|
|
>>> f = CommentForm(auto_id=False)
|
|
>>> f.as_table()
|
|
<tr><th>Name:</th><td><input type="text" name="name" /></td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Url:</th><td><input type="text" name="url"/></td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Comment:</th><td><input type="text" name="comment" /></td></tr>
|
|
|
|
|
|
On a real Web page, you probably don't want every widget to look the same. You
|
|
might want a larger input element for the comment, and you might want the 'name'
|
|
widget to have some special CSS class. To do this, you use the ``attrs``
|
|
argument when creating the widget:
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: Widget.attrs
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
class CommentForm(forms.Form):
|
|
name = forms.CharField(
|
|
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'special'}))
|
|
url = forms.URLField()
|
|
comment = forms.CharField(
|
|
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size':'40'}))
|
|
|
|
Django will then include the extra attributes in the rendered output::
|
|
|
|
>>> f = CommentForm(auto_id=False)
|
|
>>> f.as_table()
|
|
<tr><th>Name:</th><td><input type="text" name="name" class="special"/></td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Url:</th><td><input type="text" name="url"/></td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Comment:</th><td><input type="text" name="comment" size="40"/></td></tr>
|
