django.contrib.formtools
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
A set of high-level abstractions for Django forms (:mod:`django.forms`).
|
|
|
|
Historically, Django shipped with ``django.contrib.formtools`` -- a collection
|
|
of assorted utilities that are useful for specific form use cases. This code is
|
|
now distributed separately from Django, for easier maintenance and to trim the
|
|
size of Django's codebase. In Django 1.8, importing from
|
|
``django.contrib.formtools`` will no longer work.
|
|
|
|
The new formtools package is named ``django-formtools``, with a main module
|
|
called ``formtools``. Version 1.0 includes the same two primary features that
|
|
the code included when it shipped with Django: a helper for form previews and a
|
|
form wizard view.

How to migrate
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
If you've used the old ``django.contrib.formtools`` package follow these
|
|
two easy steps to update your code:
|
|
|
|
1. Install version 1.0 of the third-party ``django-formtools`` package.
|
|
|
|
2. Change your app's import statements to reference the new packages.
|
|
|
|
For example, change::
|
|
|
|
from django.contrib.formtools.wizard.views import WizardView
|
|
|
|
to::
|
|
|
|
from formtools.wizard.views import WizardView
|
|
|
|
The code in version 1.0 of the new package is the same (it was copied directly
|
|
from Django), so you don't have to worry about backwards compatibility in terms
|
|
of functionality. Only the imports have changed.
